閱讀下面的短文,選擇正確答案。
Unlike the other parts of the body,your ears don't ask for much.They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth.But they really need some special care,especially if you like listening to music with earphones.
Maybe your mum or dad has told you,“Turn that down before you go deaf!”Well,they are quite right.Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever.
Think that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents' eyes?Well,it may not be as good a way as you think.American doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week.The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems.
If you use earphones too long,your ears may feel painful.You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life.
So don't wear your earphones too long.Use them less than one hour a day.
What good hearing?Don't forget to do the following:
● Try to stay away from places with too much noise,like a disco.If you have to go,wear earplugs.
● When swimming,remember to put earplugs into your ears to keep water from getting in.
● Never put anything sharp into your ears.If you think you have too much earwax,ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Please remember these things!Then you won't be saying“What”when you are older.

參考譯文
和身體的其他部位不同,你的耳朵所需不多。它們不需要像牙齒一樣每天都得刷。但它們確實也需要一些特別的照顧,尤其是在你喜歡戴耳機聽音樂的情況下。
也許你的父母曾經(jīng)告訴過你:“把聲音關(guān)小點,你想耳聾?。俊笔堑?,他們說得沒錯。很大的聲音可能引起短期甚至終身的聽力問題。
你是否認為戴上耳機就可以不用聽父母嘮叨了?事情可能沒有你想的那么好。美國醫(yī)生檢查了一個 4490 人的群體,他們每周戴耳機的時間超過15小時。醫(yī)生發(fā)現(xiàn),其中的3730人患有聽力問題。
如果你戴耳機的時間過長,你的耳朵可能會感到疼痛。你以后的生命可能會在失聰中度過。因此,不要長時間戴耳機。每天戴耳機的時間要少于1小時。
怎樣才能有好的聽力?不要忘了下面的做法:
盡量遠離過于喧鬧的地方,比如迪斯科舞廳。假如必須去,戴上耳塞。游泳時記住戴上耳塞,以防水進入。不要把尖銳的東西塞入耳朵里。如果你覺得耳垢太多,請你的爸爸媽媽幫助清理。
請記住這些原則!這樣,當你老了的時候,你就不用說“你說什么”了。
