Stereo(立体声) sets with headphones started appearing in 1979.The headphones were on the ears of walkers, bicycle riders and drivers. By the end of 1982,more than 10 million people around the world owned the tiny machines.

The owner of Sony, a Japanese company, invented the set. He wanted to be able to listen to music while playing tennis. Many companies now produce models. Some sets play cassette tapes, others play Am or Fm radio.

A few even combine all three. The sets allow people to listen to their favorite music at its loudest without troubling anyone else.

As the sets grew more popular, some people began to worry about their use. One worry is about the danger of an accident on the street. A person wearing headphones can’t always hear the horn of a car or a warning shout. That fact has led some states to take actions. By the end of 1982,nine states had passed laws that the use of headphones was not allowed by drivers. Some towns and cities also wanted to keep the persons walking in the street and bicycle riders from using headphones in the street.

Another worry is that the headphone set could destroy a listener’s hearing. Scientists in Japan studied the hearing of 150 high schoolchildren who used headphones regularly. They found that eight children had a hearing loss. These eight children listened to headphones six hours a day. But when they stopped using the headphones, their hearing return.

65. The scientists found that ________ out of 150 children who used

More and more scientific experiments prove that physical exercise can reduce the dangers of some illnesses in middle-aged persons. Exercise strengthens the heart muscle, reduces blood pressure and helps to prevent muscles from changing into fat. Physical exercise is just as important for children.

Exercise and food affect growing speed in young lab animals. Baby mice start running as soon as they are big enough to use an exercise wheel in their cage. If they get extra food and run a lot, they will grow as much as 1.5 times bigger than normal.

The same differences might be found between active and inactive children. Physical exercise helps active children grow faster than inactive children. One experiment shows that the brains of the mice that had enough exercise weighed about 3% more than those of the mice that did not exercise. The mice that exercised are much quicker to learn doing new exercise than the mice that did not exercise.

The results of the experiments support the theory that exercise can help babies learn to talk and walk sooner than expected.

The good effects of physical exercise are not limited to children and middle-aged people. Exercise continues to be an important part of our lives after we grow old. For example, people over 50 years old begin to lose calcium (钙) from the bones, which get weaker and can break easily. Physical exercise, however, helps to strengthen the bones and to prevent them from losing calcium. Of course, old people can take medicine to prevent themselves from suffering from losing calcium, but the medicines they take increase the chance of developing some kind of cancer. So physical exercise is a much safer means of treatment. ?
