MetLife Defender costs more than products of the same kind.BResearchers at Brigham found about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage. The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen, but other experts have strong suspicions. One likely culprit, they say, is MP3 players.An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel level is turned up too high. High-decibel sounds can damage nerve endings, called hair cells. If a sound is loud enough, the damage can be permanent. A loud sound can shake the membrane (薄膜) on which the hair cells sit “like an earthquake”. That shake can break or even uproot hair cells. When that happens, the hair cells are finished. Human ears cannot regrow hair cells. Therefore, when listening to an MP3 player, set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds.On the other hand, the loudness of todays music may not be totally under your control. Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume. Its a trend called the fight for loudness.Play a CD from the 1990s. Then play a newly released tune. Dont touch the volume control. Youll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one. Why? Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression (压缩), a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter. The overall effect of compression is a louder recording.Many musicians and sound engineers arent pleased. They say that compression is driving down the quality of today, s music, making it sound flat and blaring. Gray Hobish, a sound engineer, explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness. But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out. Thats important in the competition among recording companies.What about listeners? Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones, all of which reduce sound quality. So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modern recordings. “To their ears,” says Hobish, “the music sounds fine. And they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music they are enjoying.” 58. The phrase “like an earthquake” in Para. 2 aims to explain .A. that volume can strongly affect parts of the earB. how our body is unable to regrow hair cellsC. how much damage the ear can avoidD. that hair cells are easily damaged59. What can we learn about todays music business?A. New technology improves the quality of music. B. Young listeners today prefer louder sound.C. Music companies sacrifice quality for loudness. D. Sound engineers face tough competition.60. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. The Loudness WarB. Your Hearing Is Going!C. The Damaged EarsD. Are You a Good Listener?CWhat inspires people to act selflessly, help others, and make personal sacrifices? Each quarter, this column features one piece of scholarly research that provides insight into what motivates people to engage in what psychologists call “pro-social behavior”. This quarter we focus on how recognitions of “group membership” can influence whether others decide to help us in emergency situations. A 2005 British study reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that bystanders are more likely to help strangers in distress when they recognize such strangers as belonging to a common group. However, what counts as group membership is not fixed. When people are encouraged to see greater commonalities with strangers, they will extend help to those whom they may have otherwise considered part of the “out group.” Two studies conducted between fans of two English football teams, Manchester United and Liverpool. In the first study, Manchester United fans were required to fill out questionnaires about their interest in the team and the degree to which they identified as fans and then invited to walk across campus to see a video about football teams. Along the way, an accident was staged in which a runner slipped and fell, groaning in pain. Hidden observers watched the incident, and those taking part in the study were asked about it when they reached the projection room. Participants, all of whom had a strong identification as Manchester fans, were more likely to ask the runner if he needed help when he was wearing a Manchester United shirt than when he was wearing a Liverpool shirt or an ordinary unbranded shirt. In the second study, Manchester United fans were again required, but when they arrived they were told that they were participating in a study about football fans in general (not Manchester United fans, specifically). They were also told that the study aimed to focus on the positive aspects of fan-hood as opposed to the negative incidents and stories that usually get attention. The study questionnaires asked them about their broader interest in the game and what they shared with other fans. They then were instructed to cross campus to head to the projection room, and along the way witnessed the same staged incident described in the first study. In this case, participants were as likely to help a victim in a Manchester United shirt as they were to help someone in a Liverpool shirt. And they were more likely to help those wearing team shirts than those who were not. When people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp.” The results indicate that when people are encouraged to see social category boundaries at a more inclusive levelall football fans, versus fans of one team they will extend help to more individuals. Even in a country in which bitter inter-group rivalry(对抗) exists between fans of one football team and another, when people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp”. One noteworthy strength of this research is that it offers an analysis of actual helping behavior rather than “beliefs about” or “intentions” to act. Evidence of dramatic shifts in such behavior across deeply entrenched antagonisms(根深蒂固的敌对情绪) in response to simple changes in levels of categorization is striking. Indeed, the studies bring up questions regarding how
