The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work.. An American doctor has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noises. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for 2 days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about twice as great. The scientists said millions of people in the USA used much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study and those people faced a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise. 46. Doctors have long known that ______. A.   common sounds at home are not harmful to the ear B.     one may lose his hearing when he hears a terribly loud noise C.      hearing damage or loss can be caused by sounds of all kinds D.    One will become deaf when he hears a loud noise  47. According to the passage, one conclusion you can draw is that aspirin ______. A.   should not be taken more than 4 grams every day B.   makes hearing damage from loud noise worse C.   increases hearing loss by 2 times D.  can damage one’s hearing when it is given more than 4 grams every day.  48. Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss because they ______. A.    often take jet planes on trips B.    take too much aspirin C.   like listening to loud noise D.     are drowned in loud noises at homes and at work    49. The purpose of the experiment the scientists did was to find _______. A. how much aspirin would affect a person’s hearing B.    whether the person who had hearing damage should use aspirin C.   whether aspirin would increase the temporary hearing damage from loud noise D.   how much aspirin would be given in the treatment of the patients with the hearing damage from loud noise.  B In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good  distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very       colorful. One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was     already well known as a pilot because he had crashed several times. Some people laughed at  him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be  the first to die in a crash!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many   good ideas about aeroplane design. The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die  soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast his plane had engine trouble. It crashed into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs officer rushed up to his plane.  Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare?” the officer demanded.
