25、eroplanes,transistor radios, oil-powered engines,etc,are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise,too.Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings.However,

26、some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud,and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that an

27、y noise disturbs their concentration,what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise,which doesnt change too much (music,for example )may even help people to concentrate.56.The best title for this passage is_.

And remember,your parents have lived longer than youdont discount their experience and knowl

31、edge. Your parents want to know whats going on in your life.If you dont tell them they wont know when you need their help or whether they can trust you.Tell them what youre doing,share your thoughts and feelings with them,and ask for their advice for your problems ( you dont have to follow it ).Comm

Pick a time when you are both calm and feeling good toward each other (never when you are angry).Then,explain to them what they did,how it makes you feel,and what y

34、oud like them to do instead. Unfortunately,these guidelines dont always work.
