The news article says all of the following except __________.

A.Listening to loud music can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue.
B.Most young people listen to music that is twice as loud as a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner.
C.Experts believe that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.
D.Hearing loss was discovered in 19.5 percent of teenagers tested between 2005 and 2006.
BOSTON, Massachusetts. A recent study revealed that one in five teenagers has at least some hearing loss. The rate of hearing loss among young people has grown significantly since about 1990. Now, experts are urging kids to turn down the volume on their digital music players. These experts suggest that listening to loud music through earbuds may be responsible for the increase.

For the study, researchers compared data from two nationwide health surveys of hearing loss in 12- to 19-year-olds. The first study was done between 1988 and 1994. The second was done between 2005 and 2006. In the first study, about 15 percent of teens were found to have at least some hearing loss. In the more recent study, 19.5 percent of teens had at least some hearing loss. This means that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.

Most of the hearing loss in the teens was "slight." Researchers defined "slight" as an inability to hear at 16 to 24 decibels. A teen with slight hearing loss might not be able to hear sounds such as leaves rustling or someone whispering. Dr. Gary Curhan was the study's senior author. According to Curhan, people with slight hearing loss can hear vowel sounds clearly. However, they might miss sounds from some consonants, such as t, k, and s. Experts warn that this minor loss of hearing is sufficient to cause problems in school. It also sets the stage for hearing aids later in life.

"Although speech will be detectable, it might not be fully intelligible," Curhan said. Researchers lack final evidence that listening to iPods and other music devices is to blame for hearing loss in teens. However, researchers did note a significant increase in high-frequency hearing loss. This particular type of hearing loss, researchers said, indicates that noise may be to blame. Researchers cited a 2010 Australian study. The study linked the use of personal listening devices with a 70 percent increased risk of hearing loss in young peopl"I think the evidence is out there that prolonged exposure to loud noise is likely to be harmful to hearing, but that doesn't mean kids can't listen to MP3 players," Curhan said. "Our hope is we can encourage people to be careful."

Loud music isn't anything new, of course. Each recent generation of teens has found a new technology to blast music. Teens listened to bulky headphones in the 1960s and used the handheld Sony Walkmans in the 1980s. Today's teens, however, spend more time than ever listening to music. In fact, according to audiologist Brian Fligor, young people spend more than twice as much time listening to music than previous generations.

One of Fligor's patients is 17-year-old Matthew Brady of Foxborough, Massachusetts. Matthew has a mild hearing loss. He has trouble hearing his friends in the school cafeteria. He has admitted to occasionally faking comprehension. Matthew used to listen to an iPod turned up too loud and for too long. Fligor believes this caused Matthew's muffled hearing.

Matthew used to crank up the volume on his favorites—Daughtry, Bon Jovi, and U2—while walking on a treadmill. He did this at least four days a week for 30-minute stretches at a time. One day last summer, he got off the treadmill and couldn't hear anything with his left ear. His hearing gradually returned, but it was never the same.

Matthew's fondness for listening to loud music in not uncommon. During a study of college students, Fligor found that more than half of those tested listened to music at 85 decibels or louder. That's about as loud as a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. According to Fligor, regular listening at those levels can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue. Fligor believes that some people, such as Matthew, may be more likely to experience damage than others.

These days, Matthew still listens to his digital music player. But now he listens at lower volumes.

"Do not [blast] your iPod," Matthew cautions other teens. "It's only going to hurt your hearing. I learned this the hard way."

Replacing the junk food in the vending machines with healthier choices makes the most sense for my school. Students would have access to the snacks when they wanted them, and it wouldn't cost any extra money for the school to make the change. Some of the food items might cost a little bit more, but that will be good because it will help the school with fund-raising for school activities, and it might stop kids from snacking too much during the day. The healthy snacks are also good for student health overall, and this change may help reduce childhood obesity numbers.

Classical Greece and Rome have contributed greatly to our current understanding of democracy. In ancient Greece, citizens were directly responsible for participating in government decisions. In Rome, the citizens elected government officials to make decisions on their behalf as part of a republican government. Both systems of democracy—direct and representative—have influenced the US political system.

After learning about the history of ancient Greece and Rome, what do you think are the benefits of a democratic system? In what ways did democracy serve Greece and Rome? Has there been a time when democracy didn’t serve Greece or Rome in a way that was beneficial? What circumstances contributed to the failures of democracy you learned about in the lessons on ancient Greece and ancient Rome? Are there any potentially negative aspects of democracy? Why or why not?

Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.
