Do you, like listening to music? Do you often turn up the music when you're using earphones? If so, your hearing may have been damaged(损坏).

The World Health Organization (WHO)is worried that about 1.1 billion children and young people are damaging their hearing by listening to loud music. Nearly half the young people in developed countries may lose their hearing because of the “unsafe use" of music players, including smartphones. Loud music, in nightclubs, at parties and sports also makes it worse. The WHO advises young people to listen to music for just one hour a day. Dr. Etienne Krug told BBC, “What we're trying to do is to draw people' s attention to a problem that is not talked about enough .”He said it was easy to solve this problem,

Dr. Krug said keeping the music down and limiting the listening time to less than one hour a day would save a lot of people's hearing. However, he also Baid, “Even an hour can be too much if the music is too loud.” Ralph Holme, a researcher, explained how loud noise could damage ears. He said, "Loud sounds damage your hearing by killing off thousands of little hair cells (细胞) in the inner ear. The cells can tell different sounds through. vibration (振动). But they are very fragile- they get damaged easily and even die if they vibrate too much because of loud sounds for too long.” He warned. “The bigger problem is that they don't grow back and the ear can no longer hear sounds”

No one wants to lose their hearing! Therefore, next time when you listen to music, make sure it's not too loud and only listen for le8s than an hour, You can enjoy your music much better in this way.

The idea that red means stop and green means. go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals (信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were, those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors?

Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.

Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength (波长) 80 it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.

But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials (高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones , some traffic signs , and school buses continue to be painted yellow.

So next time you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them; they've certainly come a long way.

A. Because yellow is a prettier color. B. Because yellow once meant danger.
