Hearing is very important to all of us. We can 1 beautiful music, nice songs of birds, the laughter（笑声） of people or other different kinds of 2 in the world with our ears. 3 we must try to protect our ears. The following will tell you 4 protect ears.

    Listening to 5 music a lot can be bad for ears, 6 when headphones (耳机) are used. So 7 the volume(音) when you're wearing headphones or try not to wear headphones. You should give your ears a rest if you like wearing headphones. Before swimming, remember 8 earplugs （耳塞) into y our ears or wear a swim hat to stop water 9 into your ears.

    If you are going to a concert, wear earplugs to protect your ears 10 the terrible music! 11, special ear can be made for you if you go to concerts a lot or if you are a musician yourself.

    See a doctor if your ears 12. 13 some medicine if the doctor asks you to do so. 14 the advice above now and you won't be saying “what?" when you are getting 15.

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

    Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

     Nowadays, many people drive their cars to work. There are a lot of cars in the street and the 1is very busy. So sometimes 2is not easy for people to get to work on time. When you are going to be late, you only dream of taking a plane there. Can your dream3?

Yes! You can take a plane only in months!

     Four engineers in Germany are4in making planes. They are making a newplane—Lilium jet. It doesn't look like a plane 5an egg. Many people think it looks funny and interesting. The great "egg" can take two people to the sky and 6three hundred kilometres in one hour. That's really great.

     Some people call Lilium jet "a flying car". Why?  Firstly, it's not difficult for people to learn to drive it. People can drive it just like driving a car. But it can go 7and farther than a car. Secondly, Lilium jet is not very big, only a quarter of a plane. So it doesn't need an airport. Only a small place is OK. It can stop8. In the future, the "flying car" will come into people's life and 9our ways of trip.

     Lilium jet will come on the market soon. 10you want to make your trip easy and funny, why not buy one?  I'm sure you will have a good time on it.

    It's hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time, so get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people. It's easier to make friends with them when you find you like the same things as other people.

Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. You can talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if they, hear something interesting about you.

    Look at people in your eyes when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

    Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me” You can ask people lots of questions and show that you are interested in their answers.

    Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬)and admire(羡慕). You shouldn't just make friends with those people you will meet them easily. Try to be friendly with all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from. Then you'll be easier to make friends with other people.
