Passage 1
Once upon a time, a tortoise lived in a pond(池塘) with two ducks. She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.
After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.
“Oh, don't leave me behind!” begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”
“ ” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”
Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”
The tortoise said she would not say a word.

Passage 2
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes(音量)? Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss(失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that
are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
