题目列表(包括答案和解析)
We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are
troubled by sounds over which we may have little
or no control: car and house alarms, motorcycles, loudspeakers, even movie
previews.
We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports
events at which the music is so loud that you can hardly hear the person
sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often
turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone.
As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround
children with n
oisy
toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing.
A series of studies conducted in 2002 indicated that even moderate (缓和的) backgroun
d
noise can interfere with how they learn language. In fact, children in
classrooms on the noisy side of a school had lower reading scores
than those whose classes were on the quiet side.
Noise-induced (噪音诱发的) hearing
loss can come about in two ways: from a brief exposure to a very loud noise or
from consistent exposure to moderate-level
noise. Thus, there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3 players
that are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound, like street
noise. An MP3 player at maximum volume produces about 105 decibels(分贝)— 100 times as severe as 85 decibels, where hearing
damage begins.
So, before buying noise-making toys, parents would do
well to listen to how loud they are. If the item comes with
a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest
level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, or disable the
noise-making functio
n.
Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be w
arned
to keep the volume down. Most iPads have a control that allows parents to set a
maximum volume.
Avoid taking children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the management to turn down the volume or insist on your money back.
The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, doing puzzles, making things with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting libraries and museums.
