It was cloudy and dark. A group of frogs were walking through the forest, and then two of them fell into a deep big hole（洞）. Then the other frogs came around the hole and saw how deep it was. They told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them.

However, the two frogs, Belly and Bill, wanted to jump out of the hole. They tried their best to jump and jump. The other frogs were still saying that they should just give up （放弃）. Finally, Belly listened to them. But Bill went on jumping as hard as he could. Again, the frogs above asked Bill to stop trying and to just wait for death. Bill jumped even harder and finally he succeeded.

When Bill came out, the other frogs asked,“Why didn’t you listen to us?” Bill said nothing but pointed at his ears and shook his head. He was deaf so he could just see they were saying something. He thought they were encouraging（鼓励）him all the time.

Do you know the two lovely mascots（吉祥物）? You may know the five “Fuwa” dolls from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. On September 17 of 2019, the two lovely mascots first showed on TV. Now, let’s see who they are.

Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut. It wears an ice shell （冰壳）and looks fat, so we call it “Bing Dwen Dwen”. White is the color of ice and snow. “Bing Dwen Dwen” likes skating very much and is good at it. That’s why it is the mascot of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Do you think the red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern’s name is “Shuey Rhon Rhon”. When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the colour of hope and good luck, so people think they will realize their dreams in the new year. “Shuey Rhon Rhon” can give players hope and help them do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games（残奥会）.

Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet. People think the two Olympic mascots will bring joy to people taking part in and watch the Olympic Winter Games.

Peter is 15 years old. He likes playing computer games and listening to music. Once he spent the whole night playing computer games and listening to music. He was excited and yelled along with the MP3 player. The next day when he walked out of his room after listening to the MP3 player, he couldn’t hear anything about his mother’s words. His mother took him to the hospital at once. It was moderate（中度的）hearing loss（听觉损耗）.

Are you like Peter? If you are doing this now, stop it at once. A survey shows that lots of young people enjoy listening to their MP3 players. And they always listen to them at high volume, There are about 100 million people listening to MP3 players in Europe every day. Most of them are young people. Scientists have found that if people listen to MP3 players at very high volume for more than five hours a week, they may lose their hearing in five years.

High-volume music can keep people excited, so young people would like to keep the volume high. It’s too bad for their ears. So the MP3 player listeners should keep the players within safe volume levels, no higher than 60%~70% of full capacity（容量）. If people near you can hear the sound of your MP3 player, it means you are keeping your MP3 player at very high volume. Turn it down, please!
