Once upon a time， there was a tree which wanted to become a treasure box． One day， a farmer cut it down and sold it to a carpenter（木匠）． The tree was happy because he thought the carpenter would make it into a treasure box．
To its surprise， the carpenter made it into a feed box for animals． The tree felt very disappointed because that was not its dream． Several years later， the feed box was thrown away． Someone picked it up and placed it into an old temple． The tree forgot its dream little by little．

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes？ You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing． Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss（听力丧失）， because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time． Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing．
The United Nations has standards for safe listening． It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 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．
Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear． Most of us are born with about 16，000 hair cells（听毛细胞） in our inner ears． These cells notice sounds． However， listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die． This is what causes hearing loss Once this happens， it's hard to get your hearing back．
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud． But this can depend on where you are． For example， if you are in a noisy place like the subway， you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it． Later， when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place， you might feel uncomfortable．
The "safe level" for most sound is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week． a level of 80 dB is about equal to（相当于） the noise of a subway．
Here is some advice on safe listening． Over﹣the﹣ ear headphones（头戴式耳机） are better than in﹣ear ones． They do a better job of stopping outside noise， so you can listen at a lower volume．Don't listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time． Follow the 60： 60 rule： listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones' maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes a day．
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误．正确的用"A表示，不正确的用"B"表示．
（1）It is safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 100 dB for 15 minutes．
（2）Listening to loud noise for a long time can cause some hair cells in the inner ear to die．
（3）From the fourth paragraph， we know people don't always realize how loud their music is．
（4）In﹣ear headphones are better than over﹣the﹣ear ones because they can stop more outside noise．
（5）This article mainly tells us why ears are an important part of our bodies．

Trees are useful to man in three important ways．

Wang Hao and Wang Liqin, two of China’s top table tennis players, both saw the World Table Tennis Championships(世锦赛) as a chance to prove themselves. But there was only one trophy(奖杯) and Wang Hao, 25, won it last Tuesday in Yokohama(横滨), Japan.
Wang Hao, who won the men’s doubles title(对打) with Chen Qi last Monday, played with spirit to beat Wang Liqin.
Wang Hao said it was his mental toughness(心理韧性) that made the difference. “I was disappointed(失望) by my performances in past championships and the last two Olympic Games. But I have tried to pull myself together and prepared well. This is the result.”

Liu Guoliang, head coach of China’s table tennis team, sang the praises of Wang Hao’s victory. “This is just the beginning of his rise,” said Liu. “it’s the confidence-booster(信心) he needs to make further progress.” Who won the trophy of the World Table Tennis Championships?
