He found that students who were given four grams (克) of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great.

　 So Christmas is over for anther year. We have eaten the last turkey, sandwich, cleared away the last piece of wrapping paper. Sad, isn’t it? But there was one part of Christmas I wasn’t sorry to say goodbye to ---- and that was the television advertisement.

　 　They started in November and they carried on for six weeks. Every time we turned on the television, a sweet voice would suggest some new , very expensive gift that they claimed was all we needed to make our Christmas complete.

　 I could put up with all the adult gift suggestions. After all, we are all supposedly mature people, and if we are foolish enough to fall for what we hear on the TV adverts, that’s our problem.

　 But what I found really horrific was the kids’ toy commercials. Every kid under the age of ten was exposed repeatedly to advertising. Every time there was a break in one of the television programs, he’d be persuaded softly to ask his Mum for this new Christmas toy. “Tell her that if she doesn’t buy it for you, she is a failure as a mother. ”

　 Going through children is the most secret way of advertising. Kids are easily influenced, have not sense of money and an emotional hold over their parents that advertising companies control shamelessly. It’s time something was done to prevent this.

I’m the only daughter of my parents. So they are worried about everything I do. For example,

when I rode my bike, my parents won’t let me to ride by myself. They are afraid I might fall off

my bike and hurt me. They are taking great trouble to support the bike, with my mother

even carry a first-aid box. I’m not free to ride and I often say angry, “Why not let me ride alone?”

Now, most family have one child．Parents want to do everything for their children. This does

no good to them. Too many love from parents may prevent children from independent. In my

opinion, parents should let their children do what they should do lonely.
