However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health

12、, too. People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave cloth become deaf. Quite a few peopl

13、e living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make p

14、eoples life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad. It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness.

18、 English speakers. Thisdeterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard usage of the words. Itssource is, specifically, Chinese culture, and its target is native English speakers. Below I givesome of the common ways that the Chinese environment strikes down the native speaker

19、slinguistic competence (语言能力) . Net bar: In Chinese, theyre called “网吧”, This is fine. We generally call them “Internetcaf” in English. The Chinese seem to think that “网吧” should be translated as “net bar” inEnglish, and many careless foreigners have even been misled by this idea.来源:学科网Z-X-X-K Name

20、card: In the English-speaking world, business people have lots of business meetings todiscuss business. On these occasions, business people exchange specially printed pieces of paperknown as business cards. In China everyone calls them “name cards”, because in Chinese they arecalled “名片” and “name c

21、ard” is a more direct translation . Bean curd. Its called “tofu,” OK! This English word comes from Chinese. I know alldictionaries sold in China will tell you “豆腐” is “bean curd” in English and that may representthe two characters nicely, but “bean curd” is more a definition than a comfortable trans

22、lation. Andyet some foreigners start saying “bean curd” rather than tofu. Deplorable (可悲的)！ I think you see the pattern. The normal native way of saying something is replaced by a moreunnatural way of saying it using other English words. If youve been living in China for a while and find yourself us

26、 lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most co

27、mmon type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause phys

28、ical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, habitual loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have

29、problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers,

30、 etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts

31、, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease
