At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surrou

24、nd children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. A series of studies conducted in 2002 indicated that evenmoderate(缓和的 )background noise can interfere with how they learn language. In fact, children in classrooms onthe noisy side of a school had l

25、ower reading scores than those whose classes were on the quiet side.Noise- induced( 噪音诱发的 ) hearing loss can come about in two ways: from a brief exposure to a very loud noiseor from consistent exposure to moderate-level noise. Thus, there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3 players tha

26、t are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound, like street noise. An MP3 player atmaximum volume produces about 105decibels（分贝） 100 times as severe as 85 decibels, where hearingdamage begins.So, before buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the

27、 item comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that makeloud noises, or disable the noise-making function. Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Most iPods have a con

He never says more than just enough to convey the idea desired never uses more adjectivesthan he help, and never uses a weak one.An emotion may be either expressed or suggested. If it is difficult

41、so does your health. Chances are that you are addicted to theInternet and you need counseling.On November 8, an Internet Addiction Disorder(IAD)diagnosticmanual(诊断手册 )was approved by a group ofpsychologistsin China, who agreed that Internet addictionis a mental disease. Accordingto a report onX, the

42、 manual for the first time gives a clear time standard for diagnosing IAD, saying that surfing the Internet for more than six hours a day, not for the purpose of studying or working, and having done so for less than three months, might be a symptom of IAD.Addiction symptoms varyBesides the long onli

43、ne time, some other symptoms would also help doctors diagnose IAD patients, such as having a strong desire for the Internet and feeling physical discomfort, becoming easily angry, being unable to concentrate on things or finding it difficult to sleep if unable to get online.Apart from these conditio

44、ns, other symptoms are also listed in the manual. If a net surfer cannot get out of the virtual world of Web games, which has already affected his/her capability to study or work, or he/she feels little interest in doing anything but jumping online or is afraid to communicate with others, he/she is

45、also considered to be an IAD sufferer.According to the World Health Organization, mental disease sufferers have two major characteristics: they bring suffering to both themselves and their families, and their abilities to be involved in social activities are affected.Mental illness stigma(污名 )Howeve

46、r, it has resulted in a backlash(反对 ) from the public, due to the fact that mental disease is a very sensitiveterm to Chinese.Many netizens dropped comments expressing their doubts about the manual, saying that they could not accept they might be suffering from mental illness just because they spent

47、 too much time on the Internet.Experts said there is a misunderstanding of the manual. Explaining that IAD sufferers are not “crazy people”, they call on society at large to change their understanding of mental disease.

Here are some ideas to get to the action and cut out the bureaucracy:1. Know what you want to get done. O

52、ften bureaucracy happens when people focus on processes and forget about what the end result should be. Where are you trying to go? Find the shortest way to get there, rather than making things complex.2. Don tforget your priorities (重点 ). Keep in mind the important workyour company or organization

53、does. Italmost certainly isn paperworkt or meetings (with a few exceptions, possibly). For many employees, the real work will be something else: writing articles, designing, making calls, etc.3. Cut out processes. Are there steps and work that people have to do that can beeliminated (剔除 ) altogether

54、?Keep an eye out for these processes and eliminate when possible. Every time someone is doing something routine,ask whether it s really necessary.4. Don t put off decisions. When a decision is required, try to make it quickly. Make sure you have all necessaryinfo, know what standard you re using to make the decision, and then make the decision immediately. Have the information you need ready. If you don t have information, you can t make decisions properly. This is of rea
