第一篇
Crystal Ear
One day a friend asked my wife Jill if 1 wanted a hearing aid．“’He certainly does，”replied
Jill．．After hearing about a remarkable new product，Jill finally got up me nerve to ask me if I’d
ever thought about getting a hearing aid．“No way．”I said．“It would make me look 20 years
older．’“No。no，”she replied．“This is entirely different．It’s Crystal Ear!”
Jill was right．Crystal Ear is different--not the old-styled body worn or over--the—ear aid，but
an advanced personal sound system so small that it’s like contacts(隱形眼鏡)for your ears．And
Crystal Ear is super．sensitive and powerful，too．You will hear sounds your ears have been
missing for years．Crystal Ear will make speech louder。and the sound is pure and natural．
I couldn’t believe how tiny it is．It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it’s almost
invisible when worn．There are no wires，no behind—the-ear device．Put it in your ear and 1ts
ready—to．wear mold(形狀)fits comfortably．Since it’s not too loud or too fight，you may even
forget that you’re wearing it! Use it at work or at play．And if your hearing problem IS worse in
certain situations，use Crystal Ear only when you need it．
Hearing loss，which occurs typically prior to teenage years，progresses throughout one’s
1ifetime．Although hearing loss is now the world’s number one health problem，nearly 90 percent
of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated．For many millions，
treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits，expensive testing
and adjustments to fit your ear．Thanks to Crystal Ear，the“sound solution”is now convenient．
Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing 10SS，and millions more with just a 1ittle hearing
drop．off(下降)，can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear．Moreover, its superior design is
energy．efficient，so batteries can last months．Crystal Ear is now available to help these people
treat their hearing 10SS with a small．hearing amplifier(放大器)．
31 Initially the writer did not want to buy a hearing aid because
A it would make him look old．
B It would make him nervous．
C it was too expensive． ’
D it was old—styled．
32 Which of the following is NOT true of Crystal Ear?
A It is highly sensitive．
B It is powerful．
C It is invisible．
D It is wireless．
33 One special feature of Crystal Ear is that
A you can control its volume．
B you needn’t take it off everyday．
C it is solar-powered．
D it saves power．
34 According to the passage，hearing loss is
A only a minor health problem．
B the world’s most common health problem
C merely，a teenage disease．
D an incurable disease．
35 Many people leave their hearing problem untreated．because
A it is not serious．
B Crystal Ear is not yet available．
C it is not easy to have it treated．
D they don’t want to look old．
