Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association did a study. The study was done among three hundred high school students and one thousand adults.. Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound level, or volume, at high on their iPods. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. And about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume.Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. Theysay large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds that come with most music players. Earbuds are thought to be less effective than earphones in blocking out foreign noises.Hearing loss may not be obvious for years. But once it happens, it is permanent (永久的). About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises.The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is working with producers and government officials on setting rules for use of portable (可携带的) music devices.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action.But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(另动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface（表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peac e－it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some paper inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.52.

She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.55. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My letter to Mother.B. Mother and Children.C. My mother’s Desk.D. Talks between Mother and Me.第二卷（三大题共45分）五、单词拼写根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。
