18、s(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, b

19、ut they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie a

20、nd gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it st

21、ood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched th

22、e news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it.

CCFamous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capita

26、l of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, “We dont want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion Euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so l

27、oved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city.”Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their “Perspective 2030” report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” ra

28、ther than “destination promoting”. The document also describes the countrys future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdams livability will be severely influenced by “visitor overload” if action isnt taken.Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or complet

29、ely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous “I Amsterdam” sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the citys main art gallery

30、. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various “lesser-known neighborhoods” in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, Van Loon fears Amsterdam has

To reduce your risk of hearing loss via loud music,learn why and how it can cause hearing loss,and just how loud is too loud.Hearing lo

35、ss occurs in four ways:conductive hearing loss,sensorineural hearing loss,mixed hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder. Noise-induced(噪音诱发的)hearing loss is a type of sensorineural hearing loss.Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when your inner ear becomes damaged. In the case of noise

36、 induced hearing loss,most of the damage affects the cells of tiny sensory hairs in your inner ear.When those cells get damaged or die,the electrical signal that your auditory nerve sends to your brain changes.Noise-induced hearing loss can be acute or severe,and it can be temporary or permanent. Yo

37、u might be familiar with acute temporary noise-induced hearing loss,even if you didnt realize what was happening at the time.Acute temporary noise-induced hearing loss can occur from attending a loud concert or sporting event,going to a gun range without earmuffs or being near an explosion.

38、ake noises sound “stuffy”or far away,especially when talking on the phone or in a crowded room. Repeated exposure to those loud situations can eventually lead to permanent hearing loss.Noise levels from earbuds and headphones can get as loud as 139 decibels,according to the journal Noise &Health,far

39、 greater than the recommended range of everyday sound exposure,which is 60 to 85 decibels. And the average level of noise from headphones,with the volume turned all the way up,is 94 to 110 decibels. For context, 60 decibels is about the volume of an average conversation,and 130 decibels is about the

40、 noise level of a rock concert. 85 decibels is considered the maxi- mum volume at which you can listen to sound for eight hours without damaging your hearing. So if you were to listen to music from your headphones for eight hours a day,listening at a volume louder than 85 decibels can cause permanen

41、t damage to your ears.Unfortunately,the relationship between decibels and time isnt linear. For every three decibels,safe exposure time gets cut in half,according to the CDC. At 88 decibels,you can only safely listen for four hours;at 91 decibels,just two hours.12. What does the underlined word”it”i
