 Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without
protection. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism
with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response ,
heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact , there is a general
increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline
released in response to fear.
Vecause noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are
constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger.
Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be
much more than an annoyance. It may be serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear
and brain but also the heart and stomach. We have long known that
hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now
we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be
victims of noise as well.
What is the author's main point?
Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological
health
Loud noises signal danger
Hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem
The ear is not like the eye
According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way
that they respond to
annoyance
danger
damage
disease
It can be inferred from this passage that the eye
responds to fear
enjoys greater protection than the ear
increase fluctuations
is damaged by noise
 Noise is
not a serious problem today
America's number-one problem
an unavoidable in an industrial society
a complex problem
What was the topic of the paragraph that preceded this passage ?

 A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined
conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the
surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately one degree
F for every sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure
increases with depth ,water that seeps down in cracks and fissures
until it reaches very hot rocks in the earth's interior becomes heated
to e temperature in excess of 290 degrees F. Vecause of the greater
pressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot
water. The result is a geyser.
For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world :
Newzealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National park area of the
united states. The most famous geyser in the world is Old faithful in
Yellowstone Park. Old Faithful erupts almost every hour, rising to a
height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons
during each eruption.
 In order for a geyser to erupt
hot rocks must rise to the surface of the earth.
water must flow underground
it must be a warm day
the earth must not be rugged or broken
Old Faithful is located in
Newzealand
Iceland
The United States
England
 A geyser is
hot water and stream
cracks and fissures
hot rocks
great pressure
Old Faithful erupts
every 10 minutes
@every 60 minutes
every 125 minutes
every 170 minutes
 As depth increases
pressure increases but temperature does not
temperature increases but pressure does not
both pressure and temperature increases
neither pressure nor temperature increases
