20、 Hearing Damage Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause he aring damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines I n factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home and at work. A pe rson only needs to hear the noise for little more than one s***nd to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the tempor ary (暂时的)hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment using a number of students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them dif ferent amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their he aring ability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did no t use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of persons in the United States use much larger amou nts of aspirin than were used in his experiment. He said these persons face a se rious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

21、 Dreams Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not com e from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our emotions, fear, longings, wishe s, needs and memories. But something on the outside may affect what we dream. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of th is kind. If the covers on your body, such as a blanket, have slipped off your be d, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice or snow. The materi al for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences yo u have today. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping and it may also use your past experiences and the wi shes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to d ream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, h omesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom. To show you how that is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes o r needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is a story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with absorbent cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand softly. There are some scientists who have a special study of why we dream, wha t we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reas onable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting way of dealing with the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes tha t did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carr ied out.

22、 Hunger Hunger around the world can be reduced 50 percent by the end of the 1990s. That is the conclusion of scientists and others who met in Bellagio, Italy, sev eral months ago. The people at the meeting were experts on hungers. They reporte d that at least five hundred million persons in the world suffer from hunger. Th ey noted that several nations still have severe shortages of food. But, the expe rts said, there is progress. For example, China and India have reduced hunger sh arply in recent years, and studies have shown which methods work best at reducin g hunger in other parts of the world. The experts meeting in Italy urged public officials and aid groups to take four steps to reduce hunger. The first step is to end mass hunger of famine. They said neutral internat ional organizations should protect civilian food supplies in areas at war. They also said nations should improve their methods of sending food to emergency loca tions . The s***nd step is to produce more food for the world’s poorest families. The best way is with more modern farming methods. The green revolution made it p ossible for India and other nations to greatly increase harvests, yet these farm ing methods are far from perfect. They do not work everywhere, and they can caus e environmental damage. They also must create programs that bring food directly to the very poor. The third step is to protect mothers and young children against food short ages. The experts said mothers and young children suffer the most from hunger. M any lives can be saved by making sure they are the first to get assistance. Finally, the experts urged efforts to overcome two serious medical problem s linked to food shortages. The first is a lack of iodine. One hundred ninety mi llion persons suffer from goiter and other illnesses because they get too little iodine. The other problem is even more widespread. It is a lack of vitamin A. B oth iodine and vitamin A can be supplied. The experts meeting in Bellagio, Italy, said taking these four steps would c ut world hunger in half by the beginning of the next century.
