problem is growing."Teenagers really underestimate how much noise they are exposed to" Dr Josef
Shargorodsky said.__①__
The stu
dy, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared nationalsurveys between the early 1990s and the mid2
000s.In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss.__②__Most of the hearing loss was in one ear only.While it was
usually slight, one in 20 adolescents had more pronounced (显著的) problems-up 50 percent since
the first survey.
Hearing loss is very common in the elderly, Grimes said, but she added that it was concerning to
see it come into the younger age g
roups.In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to delay language development, which in turn influences performance in other areas.Slight hearing loss,
for instance, makes it difficult to distinguish between highfrequency consonants like "s" and "f"
__③__The science is less clear for adolescents, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing
could influence learning, said Grimes."We know from a lot of data that noisy classrooms are one of the
biggest challenges to learning."
The reasons for the rise are still uncertain.When asked about noise exposure-on the job, from
firearms or recreational activities, for instance-the teenagers didn"t indicate any change.But
Shargorodsky said, "We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise
exposure-they underestimate it."__④__Although it"s not clear that these devices are to blame,
Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the volume.But she pointed out the advice would
likely fall on deaf ears.She said the American Academy of Hearing had also contacted Steve Jobs,
the CEO of Apple, about adding a volume limiter on iPods, but never heard back.

| I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am currently working. Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be given a second chance. And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect recipe for greater achievement gaps. I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years. What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can"t make that horse drink. You can"t force kids to change bad habits over night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can pass a class. |

| Nowadays, being a teacher is a difficult yet rewarding job. Not everyone is suited for teaching. Aside from having love for working with children, teaching is a career like no other. An effective teacher is not only the master of his/her subject area, but also an educator with the strong emotional backbone. Daily, the teacher communicates with students from different backgrounds, with different learning skills, and with different emotions. The teacher will set high expectations of all students and never give up the underachievers. The teacher will always be available to students whether it"s before classes begin or after school. He/She will also have additional work for students need extra assistance in learning the subject. An effective teacher will contrast his/her lesson with the material so that students will look at the material in various ways. This will ensure that students remain on task during the entire class session. Being asked openended questions, students will remain interested and not be bored. Difficult as this may sound, it can be achieved. The teacher will always be an enthusiastic, organized, and caring individual, and will make learning fun. He/She will not simply write the assignment on the board，and tell students "There"s your assignment. Get to work!" and proceed to sit at his/her desk for the remainder of the period. Instead, the teacher will add games or use media in the learning process; in this way, students will crave (渴望) learning. Our children need support, guidance and proper instruction so that they will succeed in life, not only in the career they choose, but also as the person they become. |
