Passage Three
Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

Passage Four
Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earth's surface. But
if they lived on the
seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.
People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little
pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for“ seais”“ salum ”,which means “ salt This”.is because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt— it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was“ in salt ” in Latin, and this became isle in English.
Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “ continuousland, and so
“ contin
ē nts ” meaning continuous. In
became known as continent in English from the Latin
we also speak of a continent as the mainland ( “ maincomes” from the Latin “ magnus”meaning “ great ” ), as opposed to island(isle-land).
To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean
Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “ medius(middle)” and “ terra (land)”. It was a sea that lay in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents— Asia, Europe and Africa — are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “ isthmus ” meaning “ a narrow passagebutEurope”and, Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earth's population.
76. People in ancient times knew . A. a lot about land and sea
B. some continents were connected
