¡¡¡¡About 16 million people in the United States have lost some of their hearing. About two million others are extremely or completely deaf (ÁûµÄ). They cannot hear speech or most other sounds in their everyday (ÿÌìµÄ£¬ÈÕ³£µÄ) life, even with a hearing aid to make sounds louder.
¡¡¡¡There are several kinds of hearing loss. The first kind is caused by disease or injury (É˺¦£¬»Ù»µ) to the outer (ÍⲿµÄ) or middle part of the ear. The damage prevents sound waves (Éù²¨) from reaching the inner (ÄÚ²¿µÄ£¬ºËÐĵÄ) ear. Usually, this kind of hearing loss is not extreme (¼«¶ËµÄ). And a hearing aid or medical treatment (´¦Àí£¬ÖÎÁÆ) can often restore (»Ö¸´) hearing. A second kind of hearing loss has something to do with the nerves (Éñ¾). It is caused by damage to the inner ear. A loud noise or disease may destroy some of the tiny nerve cells that carry sound. People suffering this kind of damage may lose the ability to hear some sounds, high or low. The third kind of deafness is called a central hearing loss. It is caused by damage to the hearing nerves leading to the brain or in the brain itself.

¡¡¡¡A louder sound.¡¡
¡¡¡¡A recorder (¼Òô»ú).¡¡

¡¡¡¡Friends or contemporaries (ͬÁäÈË) are a great influence on the actions, thoughts, and words of young people. This influence, known as peer (ͬ±²) pressure (ѹÁ¦), is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do, think, or say?
¡¡¡¡Most of us, children included, feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance (½ÓÊÜ£¬³ÐÈÏ) and friendship. In order to gain them, we act like our friends, and listen to their advice, whether or not it is helpful (ÓаïÖúµÄ£¬ÓÐÒæµÄ). Some of us even begin to think like our friends, sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert (¾¡£¬Ê©¼Ó) pressure to keep him away from drugs, but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and, at the same time, responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.
60.The passage mainly talks about ¡¡¡¡.
¡¡¡¡peer pressure¡¡
¡¡¡¡friendship¡¡
¡¡¡¡conflicts between young people and their parents¡¡
¡¡¡¡problems for young people¡¡
61.In the third sentence of the second paragraph (¶Î), "them" refers to ¡¡¡¡.

¡¡¡¡trying not to tell any lie¡¡
¡¡¡¡keeping yourself away from drugs¡¡
¡¡¡¡acting according to your own beliefs and values¡¡

¡¡¡¡There are many differences between the living conditions of people in the Los Angeles area and those of Topeka, Kansas. For example, the Los Angeles area offers many places to go and see, but in Topeka the places are limited. Places such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm or even the mountains and ocean, which are common to Los Angeles, provide the area with entertainment (ÓéÀÖ£¬ÎÄÒÕ½ÚÄ¿), for example. Another major contrast (¶ÔÕÕ) between the two geographic (µØÀíµÄ) areas is in the field of job opportunities. Los Angeles has many industries, which in turn create (´´Ô죬²úÉú) job opportunities, but in the Topeka area there are only a few industries and thus few job opportunities. Also, the people working at their jobs in Topeka stay with the same job for many years because of the limited opportunity (»ú»á) for advancement. By contrast, the job advancement opportunity in the Los Angeles area is much better because there are more jobs to begin with and, therefore, people will change jobs more freely.
¡¡¡¡An equally important contrast is the variation (±ä»¯£¬±äÒì) of shopping places. In Los Angeles anyone can shop around for the best deal before making a major purchase (¹ºÂò£¬¹ºÂòµÄÎïÆ·), such as a new car; in Topeka there are few shopping places, especially shopping centres and car dealers. Thus people in Topeka do not have the choice in the first place, nor can they make the deals that the people in Los Angeles can.
¡¡¡¡On the whole the Los Angeles area has many advantages over the entire Topeka, Kansas area.
