7、and send them to the brain: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.The outer ear is made up of the pinna and the ear canal. The pinna is the part of the ear you see on the side of your head. Its main job is to gather sounds and funnel them to the ear canal, which is the pathway that leads
8、to the middle ear. Glands (腺) in the skin lining the ear canal produce earwax (耳垢), which protects the canal by cleaning out dirt and helping to prevent infections.The middle ear is an air-fill hole that turns sound waves into vibrations and delivers them to the inner ear. The middle ear is separate
9、d from the outer ear by the eardrum (鼓膜), a thin piece of tissue stretched tight across the ear canal. Sounds hit the eardrum, causing it to move.The vibrations from the middle ear change into nerve signals in the inner ear. The inner ear includes the cochlea (耳蜗) and the semicircular canals. The sn
10、ail-shaped cochlea changes the vibrations from the middle ear into nerve signals. These signals travel to the brain along the cochlear nerve, also known as the hearing nerve.Teach kids to protect their hearing by paying attention to the noise levels theyre exposed to. Have them turn down the volume
11、on video games, TVs, and, especially, portable music players. Make sure they take hearing protection (like earplugs or protective headphones) when theyll be around loud noises (at a concert, car race, etc.).If your child has any trouble with hearing, turn to your doctor.

14、lace of single-use plastic.The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (藻类). It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away. Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University.MarinaTex is edib
15、le. To put it another way, it can be tasted without danger. Hughes says it also is strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex breaks down in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amount of plastic in ocean
16、waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the worlds ocean by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing ind
17、ustry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, U.N. officials say.Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did not harm the environment. “Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers
18、 (聚合体) when nature has so many already available?” she asked. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable” than plastic. It is also easie
19、r to break down. Hughes will receive about $41, 000 in prize money as the first-place winner of the James Dyson Award. She plans to use the money to better develop the product and ways to mass-produce it. “Further research and development will insure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part
20、of a global answer to the abundance of single-use plastic waste,” Dyson said.8When did Lucy Hughes create MarinaTex?AAt university.BAfter graduation.CBefore going to university.DAfter winning the James Dyson Award.9What do we know about MarinaTex?AIt is safe seafood.BIt is a kind of waste.CIt is a n
21、ew kind of plastic.DIt is a safe material that can replace plastic.10What gets Hughes to create MarinaTex?AHer concern about the growing amount of plastic in the ocean.BHer occupational habit of trying out new things.CHer hope to help develop the fishing industry.DHer desire to win the prize money.1
22、1What can we infer from the last paragraph?AWe need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available.BHughes produced MarinaTex without much effort.CMarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste.DHughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award.A report revealed that about 85% of the working mothers
23、surveyed felt that their parenthood had affected their career “in a significant way”. Over 30% of them said that they went through a “long period of mental distress” before announcing their pregnancy at work, and 35% said their bosses immediately started looking for their replacements after learning
24、 about their pregnancy.While Chinese women may no longer sacrifice their careers for their husbands, they are still expected to do so for their children. The study found that nearly half of the mothers left the labor force for at least one year after giving birth, among whom roughly 20% ended up bec
25、oming stay-at-home moms. When asked about the impact of motherhood on their identities and life goals, nearly 35% said that the most profound change was how they started to balance between family and work.The adjustment, however, is not always by choice. Responding to a question about the distributi
26、on of childcare labor in their home, almost 40% of the working mothers said that their husbands basically spent no time on parenting.” Moreover, over half of the husbands didnt use up their paternity leave(陪产假), whereas about 21 percent never took it at all.Another key finding from the survey was th
27、at although its illegal for Chinese companies to ask a woman about family plans, many employers still do. The unlawful yet prevalent practice has been a main factor influencing womens decisions about timing of motherhood. The survey showed that about 40% of the childless respondents delayed parentho
28、od because of “the time it would take,” which they thought wouldhave a negative impact on their promotion opportunities.In theory, there has never been a better time than now for working mothers in China to shine. Faced with an aging population and shrinking workforce, Chinese officials encourage Ch
