“Time is a problem for children，”says a news report for a new Swiss watch．Children in some countries“learn time slowly”because“they don’t wear watches”and“parents don’t really know how to teach them time．”The children grow up with this handicap and become adults and then can’t get to work on time．Is there an answer to this problem? Of course it’s the Flik Flak，made by a famous Swiss watch company．

The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10．The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time，of course；it only“takes their imagination”by presenting the“hour”hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the“minute”hand as a tall blue boy named Flik．Flik points to“blue”minutes on the dial(钟面)，while Flak points to“red”hour numbers．The characters and colors together with parental help，are supposed to teach young children how to tell time．

Peter Lipkin，the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak，calls it“childproof：if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine，”The product is being sold in some department stores in Europe，Asia and the United Stares for a suggested price of $25．Parents who buy the watch may find that it is one thing to tell time；it’s quite another for them to be on time． 58．From the news report we know that__________．

A．parents are patient when they are teaching children time B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time C．children in every country learn time slowly D．children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch

59．The underlined word“handicap”in the first paragraph means_________． A．优势 B．特点 C．失望 D．不足

Noise pollution is doing much harm to our health now．Noise is a kind of invisible(无形的)killer．More and more students enjoy listening to music very much．When they listen to MP3 players，they like to turn up the volume(音量)．While watching TV，they keep the volume up．But they haven’t realized that the noise is weakening(减弱)their hearing．In fact，the noise not only influences each member in the family，but also influences the neighbors．

Noise pollution is a source of misery to people in our society．If people are often disturbed by it，they may feel uncomfortable or sad．What’s worse，the noise can make people mad sometimes．If a worker works in a printing factory for too long，his hearing loss is much faster than a common person working in a quieter environment．So everybody must pay attention to noise pollution． The following simple ways can be used to avoid(避免)noise：

★Try to use less noisy equipment(设备)(e．g．washing machines)．

★Keep the volume of TV，radio and music as low as possible，especially late at night． ★If your dog barks when left alone，make sure to leave it with a friend．

★If you have a party，tell your neighbors in advance(提前)and keep the noise a little lower． I think the local environment protecting department(部门)will take measures to control the noise levels．But it’s everybody’s duty to keep a quiet environment． 61．Why do people call noise a kind of invisible killer? A．Because we can’t see it with our own eyes．

B．Because it’s harmful to our health，but people don’t realize it． C．Because it often causes people to die． D．Because it has no direct effect on humans．
