[1]Some people's ears produce wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem even though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. Experts say it protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter and keeps insects out. Doctors think it might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.

[2]So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can have too much of a good thing.

[3]The glands(腺體) in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears,but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a safe method or you could do a lot of damage.

[4]Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself. One way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use an injector device to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.

[5]The experts at N.I.H. say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.

[6]After the earwax is gone, gently dry the ear. But if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a

 health care provider for professional assistance.

【解析】

試題分析:文章講述了人都會產(chǎn)生耳垢,不同的種族耳垢的特點也不相同,但都有著好的作用,可以防止耳朵受到感染,防止小的昆蟲進入。但是如果產(chǎn)生的耳垢過多,也會影響人的聽覺,主體介紹了我們應(yīng)該怎樣把這些過多的耳垢清除出來。專家給了我們一些好的建議。

1.細節(jié)理解題。Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself.意思是說,專家推薦了一些方法去清除過多的耳垢。所以答案應(yīng)該是建議好的方法去清除污垢。

2.細節(jié)理解題。extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing.句意為:過多的耳垢可能會變硬形成堵塞進而會干涉聲波降底聽力。由此可以判斷太多的耳垢會造成壞的影響。所以答案應(yīng)為:It can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing.

3.細節(jié)推理題。Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can have too much of a good thing. 句意為:大多數(shù)歐洲和非洲血統(tǒng)的人有比較潮濕的耳垢,而東亞通常有干的耳垢。前后句之前的對比可得出答案應(yīng)是“dry” earwax /        “dry” kind。

4.段落大意題。第五自然段的大意為:專家說,你也許會重復(fù)幾次這個過程,用和體溫一樣的水如果水太涼或太熱,你可能會頭暈。如果耳膜受傷的話,不要去嘗試“灌溉”你的耳朵,它可能會感染或者有其它的問題。所以這個過程應(yīng)為Irrigation./ The irrigation.

5.開放性試題。但文中介紹了其危害,所以應(yīng)根據(jù)If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems. 回答此問題,意思是:如果用冷水或者是熱水,你可能會頭暈?zāi)垦!K源鸢笐?yīng)為:Certainly not / No, I won’t.. Because it could make me feel dizzy.

  Skateboarding has become one of several non-traditional activities that PE teachers around America are introducing to inspire kids to exercise regularly.Some PE classes feature in-line(滾輪)skating, yoga, and even rock climbing.Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.

  Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight.Now, 9 million U.S.children and teens are overweight.Obesity(肥胖)can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.

  "Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese," says Johnson."Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest."

  Some schools don't allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous.Tim, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger."We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely," he says.

  Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons.“Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed.”says education expert Richard Savor from College in Portland.

  Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills."It's natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things," adds Tim."When it comes to skateboarding, they'll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed." That same effort could be made in schoolwork.

  Eric Brown agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them."A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful," says Eric, "We tell students that they shouldn't say 'I can't do it' unless they've tried 600 to 900 times.
