  summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other people.

• 阅读理解。      As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss (丧失), according to researchers.
  They say the problem is growing.
       "Teenagers really don't pay attention to how much noise they are exposed to (接触)," Josef Shargorodsky
  of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston told Reuters."Often people won't notice it, but even very little
  hearing loss may influence language development," said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers.
       The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand
  teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years
  later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent.
       "This certainly is big news," said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor."Hearing loss is very common in old people,"
  Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group.
       In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is
  less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could influence learning, said
  Grimes.
       The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure on the
  job, at school or from activities, for example—the teenagers didn't report any change. But Shargorodsky said
  that might not be true."We know from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure—
  they underestimate it." Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for
  example. "There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear," said Grimes.
       Although it's not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers' hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good
  idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening. 1. The writer advises teenagers _____. A. to turn the sound down

• 阅读理解。      Sharks frighten most of us, but Daniel Weaver, a shark scientist, swims with them for a living! We
  asked him some questions about this unusual job.
       So Daniel, what's it like to be a shark scientist?
       Well, it's a great job. I often travel to faraway places like South Africa and Fiji to study sharks. On the
  other hand, a shark scientist sometimes does boring desk work, such as writing reports. Also, shark scientists
  don't usually get paid a lot.

       Shark scientists need to be wise and strong. They enjoy working outdoors and they have to be cool and
  patient (耐心). They also have to be quite brave!
        So do you think it's a dangerous job?
        Well, sharks have up to 15 rows of sharp teeth. However, sharks hardly attack (攻击) humans. There are
  over 350 kinds of sharks in the world and only about 10 are dangerous to us. In fact, dogs kill more people
  every year than sharks! Humans kill over 12 million sharks a year for food and sport!
        How do you become a shark scientist?
