Do you often listen to music at loud volumes(音量)?You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing,according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Over 1,000,000,000 young people are at risk of hearing loss because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time,said WHO.Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening.It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB,分貝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
Loud noise is bad for the inner ear(內(nèi)耳).Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(聽(tīng)毛細(xì)胞)in our inner ears.These cells detect(探測(cè))sounds.However,listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die.This is what causes hearing loss.
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud.But this can depend on where you are.For example,if you are in a noisy place like the subway,you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it.Later,when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place,you might feel uncomfortable.
WHO said the "safe level" for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week.A level of 80 decibels is similar to the noise of a subway.

2.For nature lovers,there will soon be new places to visit.China has announced the list of its first five national parks.
National parks are large areas of public land.They are designed for the protection of ecosystems.They give a safe home to local plants and animals.They help keep the air and water clean.
The five parks' protected land area is 230,000 km2,covering nearly 30 percent of the key wildlife species (物種) in China.Each park has distinct features (鮮明的特征).
For example,Three-River-Source National Park is the largest national park in China.Covering 190,700 km2,it is about 14 times the area of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.It is home to the sources of the Yangtze,Yellow and Lancang rivers.People call it "China's water tower".
Giant Panda National Park,on the other hand,connects panda habitats in Sichuan,Shaanxi and Gansu.There are more than 1,600 wild giant pandas inside the park,accounting for more than 70 percent of the pandas in China.
China hopes the national parks will benefit the public.Nature observation (觀察) activities will be held to help travelers learn about animals and plants.Local people living in the parks can also run eco-friendly busjye.aiesses.In Three-River-Source National Park,more than 17 thousand local people have found jobs,such as park rangers (護(hù)林員) since 2016.

3.Are you carrying too much on your back to school?You're not alone.Back experts (專(zhuān)家) in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their schoolbags.
