8 . Do you often listen to music at loud volumes (音量)? Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can hurt your hearing.
It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB 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 cells (细胞) of the inner ear (内耳). 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 recover (恢复).
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.
Over-the-ear headphones (头戴式耳机) are better than in-ear ones. They do a better job of stopping outside nose, 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 (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day.

You can receive your takeaway (外卖食品) at home without going to the restaurant these days. Maybe you and your parents even order pizza sometimes. But the first pizza delivery (递送) in history took place (发生) about 150 years ago in Italy.
In 1878, Queen Margherita became the first queen of Italy. As the story goes, the queen got tired of eating “fancy” meals and wanted to eat “common” food. Raffaele Esposito, the most famous pizza cook at that time, was asked to deliver a pizza to the queen. He prepared a pizza with red tomatoes, white cheese and green basil (鱼香菜) standing for the colors of Italy’s new national flag. As soon as the pizza was out of the oven (烤箱), he quickly delivered it to the queen himself. The queen had never eaten pizza before and said it was one of the best things she’d ever eaten. Esposito named the pizza after the queen, and it has been served in nearly every pizza restaurant in the world ever since.
Today, pizza is one of the world’s most popular fast foods. In 1973, US pizza company Domino’s Pizza promised to deliver its pizzas in “30 minutes or less” — if the pizza was late, it would be free. Little Caesars, another US pizza company, offers a “Hot-N-ready” pizza at all of its stores. These pizzas are cooked around the clock so that there are always fresh pizzas for customers. You go to the store, pay 6 dollars and walk out with a fresh pizza with no waiting time. Pizza, it seems, might be the real “fast” food.
