　　Crystal Ear

　　One day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid. "He certainly does," replied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if rd ever thought about getting a hearing aid. "No way," I said. "It would make me look 20 years older." "No, 'no," she replied. "This is entirely different. It's Crystal Earl!'

　　Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, bet an advanced personal sound system so small that it's like contacts (隐形眼镜) for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural。

　　I couldn't believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it's almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its ready-to-wear mold (形状) fits comfortably. Since it's not too loud or too tight, you may even forget that you're wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situations, use Crystal Ear only when you need it。

　　Hearing loss, which occurs typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout one's lifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world's number one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the "sound solution" is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing drop-off (下降)， can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier (放大器)。

　　31 Initially the writer did not want to buy a hearing aid because

　　A it would make him look old。

　　B It would make him nervous。

　　C it was too expensive。

　　D it was old-styled。

　　32 Which of the following is NOT true of Crystal Ear?

　　A It is highly sensitive。

　　B It is powerful。

　　C It is invisible。

　　D It is wireless。

　　33 One special feature of Crystal Ear is that

　　A you can control its volume。

　　B you needn't take it off every day。

　　C it is solar-powered。

　　D it saves power。

　　34 According to the passage, hearing loss is

　　A only a minor health problem。

　　B the world's most common health problem。

　　C merely a teenage disease。

　　D an incurable disease。

　　35 Many people leave their hearing problem untreated because

　　A it is not serious。

　　B Crystal Ear is not yet available。

　　C it is not easy to have it treated。

　　D they don't want to look old。

　　The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke

　　Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer. However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage.　　　　(46)

　　No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes. 　　　　(47) The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53,000 people die in the United States each year as a result Of exposure to secondhand smoke。

　　The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health. 　　　　(48)    They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact, almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted。

　　It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. 　　　　(49) Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke。

　　People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke. 　　　　(50)

　　A Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers。

　　B The Gilsons have been married for 35 years。

　　C This smoke is called secondhand smoke。

　　D However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young。

　　E As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places。

　　F In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker。
