The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print，chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written.And if you are reading this online，you may not even finish a fifth.（1）

They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.
   So are we getting stupider？Actually，our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information.Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content.Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts.（2）

But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back，think carefully，and relate all the facts to each other.

A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading，and re-reading.They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts，and the ability to process them fully.What's to be done then？Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic.They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer.（4）

   Personally，I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long.Even while writing this article，I am switching constantly between sites，skimming too often，absorbing too little.Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change.I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs.I suspect that many readers are in a similar position.（5）

  • 2．How to protect your ears You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night.When you get outside，your ears are ringing.You have to shout to be heard. （1）
    So no harm done…right？
       Not quite.Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore，but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious and irreversible（不能治愈的）hearing loss.A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss，and one in 20 have mild hearing loss.（2）
    But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage - and still listen to the music you love.
       Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on，and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to.（3）
    Turn it down.
       Buy noise-canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.
       Take breaks. （4）
    So when listening to music，take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.
       （5）
    You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts or while playing or practicing your own music without changing the quality of the sound.

    A.Use earplugs.
    B.Keep the volume below 70 percent.
    C.If the answer is yes，your music is too loud.
    D.But by morning，your hearing is totally back to normal.
    E.Like every other part of your body，your ears need rest.
    F.Unfortunately，there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.
    G.The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in an previous generation.
