Question

【題目】If your ears are working well, you hear sounds all the time. You can't switch(關(guān)掉) your ears off, even when you are asleep.

Listening

When you really want to listen to something, you tell your brain to focus on that sound. If your ears are healthy and are both working well, they can turn down other sounds while you focus on what you want to hear. If one ear isn't working as well as the other, they can't do this. If your hearing cells(細(xì)胞) have been damaged by too much noise or music, what you want to hear can get mixed up and lost in the other sounds around. With__healthy__ears__you__can__choose__what__you__want__to__listen__to,__but__you__can't__choose__what__you__hear.

Understanding

Your brain deals with the received sounds and tells you what they mean. Some people have problems understanding what they are hearing because their ears don't work well and they don't hear all the sounds. The brain does not get enough information to understand the messages or they may be mixedup.

Selective(選擇的) hearing

Lots of mums and dads think that kids have this “problem”. They think that the kids select what they are going to hear and what they can't hear! Many mums say that dads do this, too. In fact, this is something we may all do to try and make our lives a bit easier. Some children wrote what they liked to hear and what they didn't like to hear.

【5】擁有健康的耳朵，你能選擇你想聽的內(nèi)容，但是你不能選擇你聽到的內(nèi)容。

【解析】

本文介紹了耳朵能聽到聲音，即使睡覺也不能關(guān)閉，聽到聲音后經(jīng)過大腦的處理你就會(huì)理解，你還能選擇你聽到的聲音，這樣會(huì)使生活更加簡(jiǎn)單．為什么健康的耳朵專注于你想聽到的聲音，為什么人能理解聽到的聲音。

【1】根據(jù)文中If your ears are healthy and are both working well, they can turn down other sounds while you focus on what you want to hear. If one ear isn't working as well as the other, they can't do this.可知，你不能專注于你想要聽到的。故填you can't focus on what you want to hear。

【2】根據(jù)文中Your brain deals with the received sounds and tells you what they mean.可知，它處理接收到的聲音并告訴我它們的含義。故填It deals with the received sounds and tells me the meanings/what they mean.

【3】根據(jù)文中Selective(選擇的) hearing In fact, this is something we may all do to try and make our lives a bit easier. Some children wrote what they liked to hear and what they didn't like to hear.可知答案，我認(rèn)為“選擇性聽證”對(duì)我來說是最重要的，因?yàn)樗�可能�?huì)讓我的生活更輕松一些。

故填I think the suggestion “Selective hearing” is the most important for me because it may make my life a little easier.

【4】通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要是講述了關(guān)于聽力的一些東西。故填Something about listening.

【5】With healthy ears具有健康的耳朵；you can choose what you want to listen to你可以選擇你想聽的；you can't choose what you hear表示你不能選擇你聽到的內(nèi)容。根據(jù)題意，故答案是擁有健康的耳朵，你能選擇你想聽的內(nèi)容，但是你不能選擇你聽到的內(nèi)容。
