Do you often listen to MP3 players at a too high voice? Are you frightened to hear this? The sizes of MP3 players are very small, but small MP3 players make it easy to take hundreds of songs with you. So many young people carry them and listen to music every day. MP3 players are very popular among students. The scientists say teenagers should be far from high volume(音量), including mobile phones noise. A study says, “High volume and long listening time can cause hearing problems.” They think if young people listen at more than 89 decibels (分贝) every day, they will lose their hearing in five years. A scientist said, “So many young people often use personal music players and mobile phones at a high voice. I am afraid that they may be losing their hearing.So lets turn our MP3 players down!41. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Scientists tell young people to turn off their MP3 players.B. Teenagers will lose their hearing if they listen to hundreds of songs in MP3 players.C. A person will lose hearing in 5 years if he or she listens to an MP3 player every day.D. The mobile phone can also cause hearing problems if we dont use it correctly.42. The underlined word “they” (Paragraph 4) most probably refers to (指)_.A. scientists B. MP3 players C. teenagers D. mobile phones43. Which might be the best title for this passage?A. Turn your MP3 players down! B. Never use MP3!C. How to protect your hearing. D. Young peoples hearing. (B)Will it matter if you dont take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts. The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat much more food at lunch time. They will gain(增加) weight. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.44. During the test, the people were given _.A. no breakfast at all B. different foods or nothingC. very rich breakfast D. little food for breakfast45. The results show that _.A. breakfast has great effect (影响) on work and studies B. breakfast has little to do with a persons workC. a person will work better if he only has fruit and milkD. girl students should have little for breakfast46. The word “reduce” in the last sentence means _.A. 增加 B. 放弃 C.减少 D. 享用 (C) I cant remember when I started collecting litter（垃圾）. But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes! I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.Since that first trip three years ago, Ive gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. Im often there for three hours, It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.After each trip, I look at all the litter Ive found. If any of it is recyclable（可回收的）, I keep it. I cant understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.I know I can only do a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.47.

I could see the yellow leaves(树叶) dancing in the cool wind. I felt lonely and life is uninteresting. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I ran out to see where it was from. A young girl, standing in the wind, was lost in playing her violin. I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I forgot who I was. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the same place and I was the only listener. It seemed that I no longer felt lonely and life became interesting. We didnt know each other, but I thought we were already good friends. One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. The girl came over to me. You must like violin, she said. Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop? I asked. Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It is your listening every day that has encouraged me. she said. In fact, it is your music that has given me those meaningful days. I answered. Let us befriends. The girl smiled and I smiled. I never heard her play again in my life. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream，so short, so bright that it makes life beautiful. There are many kinds of friends. Some are always with you, but dont understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. I shall always think of those golden days and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.49. The story happened . A. in a park B. in a lonely place C. in winter D. in October50. W
