You may also lose your hearing for the rest of your life.If you want to have good hearing, remember the following tips: Don't have the volume(音量) too high when you wear earphones. Pay attention to things around you when wearing them. Try to stay away from places with too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go,wear earplugs(耳塞). When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in. Never put anything sharp into your ear. If you think you have too much earwax(耳垢), ask your mum or dad to help you clean it. Please remember these things! Then you won't be saying "What?"when you are old. 53.Who possibly wrote this passage? A) A music lover B) A doctor C)A teacher D)An artist 54.

However, some idioms(习语) and proverbs in English seem to have a(n)" 58 "in Chinese. Here are three of them. Double-edged sword(双刃剑)./Water can carry a boat. It can also overturn the boat.The Chinese proverb was first used by Confucius(孔子). He reminded a ruler that his power was based on people who supported him. If the people were 59 , they could easily overthrow(把..赶下台)the ruler. Similarly, a double-edged sword reminds us that what brings us power can bring us harm, too.These days, both expressions are used to point out how our tools can either 60 or harm us. It all depends on how we use these tools. Think before you act. /Think three times. Act after. Both cultures are wise enough to include this proverb.
