Headphones are helpful. They are good for blocking out noise. And we use them to listen to music no influencing others. But headphones can be harmful, too. They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every 10 kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise.

How Hearing Works

An ear has many working parts. Their job is to tum sound into something your brain can understand. And there are cells (细胞) inside the car that help you hear. "We call them hair cells," Jackie Clark says. "They look like hairs standing up." Clark is a professor at the University of Texas, She studies how loud noises affect (影响) our ears.

Sound moves and makes the hair cells move back and forth. Loud noises can damage (损害) these cells by getting them not straight anymore. Once the cells arc damaged, they don't grow back.

    ▲

One sign of hearing loss is tinnitus. It's a ringing in the cars. "It's like someone is playing the violin for a long time," Clark says. "It's difficult to get away from it." And the damage affects more than your ears. It can cause worries and stress.

How can you protect your ears? Keep the volume on your headphones low. You should be able to hear sounds around you. And other people shouldn't hear noise from your headphones.

Measuring(测量) Sound

Sounds or noises are everywhere. Raindrops are 40 decibels (分贝) while fireworks are 140 decibels. What about your headphones? They can go higher than 100 decibels. That's too loud. To protect your ears, keep your headphones at about half volume. And don't listen too long. About an hour a day is safe.

Friends are very important in everyone's life because friends are always there when we need them. It's great to have many friends and I can't think about my life without my friends.

My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me. In the seventh grade, she is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blonde hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.

My name is Molly. I am tall enough but little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I have to do a report(报告) on science, but I didn't understand what the teacher said. The next day I read it in front of the class, but the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn't laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and make me happy.

I am a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don't understand me. Lisa is friendly and everybody loves her. She is also smart and she can deal with (解决) everything. I am happy to have a friend like her.
