C
Noise-canceling headphones(降噪耳机)bring you a quiet world, but using them for too long may be bad for your brain, according to the New York Post.
Doctors from the UK’s National Health Service(NHS) have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing subtitles(字幕)to watch videos. However, their ears are healthy, the problem is their brains are affected. This problem is known as auditory processing disorder(APD). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.
To make hearing work well, our brains need to choose which sounds to focus on and which to ignore. We get the skill when we hear different sounds. If we don’t hear different kinds of sounds, we can lose this skill, said NHS doctors. Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be part of the problem.
Claire Benton from the British Academy of Audiology(英国听力学会)said that wearing these headphones creates a “false environment” where you only hear what you want. This makes it easier for your brain to understand, so it doesn’t have to work hard.
Noise travels in waves through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone(麦克风)to cancel out noise with opposite sound waves.
This technology can be harmful if you use it too much. However, it is still helpful for people working in noisy places.

D
In a small village full of mountains and forests, a young girl lived there. People there often lived in darkness because of the power cuts. Many families had diesel generators(柴油引擎)at home. When the power went out, these generators could make the lights in the dark rooms come again.
From a young age, the girl was very interested in these “magic machines”. She watched how the generators worked. The sound of the machines and the way they brought back power made her want to know more. This interest led her to study engineering in college.
After graduating from college, most students went to cities to find well-paid office jobs. But the girl decided to go back to her village. She loved her hometown so much that she wanted to put all she had learned into use to help the villagers.
The girl started to repair broken diesel engines and other machines for the villagers. Some repairs were easy, like changing a small part. But some were hard and took a long time.
