AC/DC have postponed their US tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned by doctors that he was at risk of “total hearing loss”. This is unsurprising, given the decades that the Australian band has been pumping out the hard rock decibels(分贝). But deafness isn’t only a concern for rock musicians. In recent years it has become clear that anyone around music a lot has reason to be equally worried.
When exposed to music, risk to hearing arises from a combination of how loud the sound is and how long you’re exposed to it. If you visit a nightclub that is thumping out (响亮地奏出) music on the dance floor at 100 dB, then after only 10-15 minutes the exposure is potentially damaging. In a quieter part of the club, but where the music is still loud enough that you have to shout at your friends, then you could be there for a couple of hours before having to worry about your hearing. Of course music frequently exceeds（超过） 80-85 dB, but what counts most in assessing the risk to hearing is the average exposure.
Exposure to high noise levels often causes temporary deafness — something many people have experienced after going to a nightclub. While hearing usually recovers after a few hours or days, repeated loud exposure leads to permanent hearing damage. Initially, this damage is subtle and unlikely to be noticed by the listener. Problems only becomes significant in middle age when the noise-induced hearing loss combines with the natural loss of hearing due to ageing.
Improved technology means that the number of musicians having to give up performing could decrease, but student musicians need to be educated about the dangers of noise-caused hearing loss. The increasing use of headphones will also work against this — for musicians and everyone else. Unless people are careful with the volume（音量） level on their portable music players, hearing loss caused by music will increase.

Standing in line for the latest iPhone at the Apple store, queuing for tickets to Wimbledon or even just waiting at the post office might just have got a lot easier. Japanese car-maker Nissan announces that it has just the thing to relieve the painful legs of tired queuers.
The new system of ‘self-driving’ chairs is designed to detect when someone at the front of the queue is called, and automatically move everyone else one step forward in line. The new invention is shown off in a company video, which shows a busy restaurant with patrons waiting outside.
In the video, diners are sitting in a row of chairs, but will not have to stand when the next hungry diner is called to a table. Instead, the chairs, equipped with autonomous technology that detects the seat ahead, move along a path toward the front of the line. When the person at the front of the queue is called, the empty chair at the front can sense it is empty and so moves out of pole position. Cameras on the remaining chairs then sense the movement and follow automatically.
The system, which is similar to the kind used in Nissan's autonomous vehicle technology, will be tested at select restaurants in Japan this year, Nissan said. “It appeals to anyone who has queued for hours outside a crowded restaurant: it eliminates the boredom and physical pain of standing in line,” Nissan added.
Although Tokyo has some 160,000 restaurants, long queues are not uncommon. Chosen restaurants that meet the criteria will be able to show the chairs outside their restaurant next year. Nissan also released a short video showing the chairs being used in an art gallery, moving slowly in front of the various paintings to let viewers appreciate the art without the need to stand up.

D. They are completely different from vehicle technology.
2.Which enables the chairs to detect the seat ahead?
A. Pole position.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4?
A. rids. B. ignores. C. steals. D. hides.
4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Queuing is a rare scene outside Japanese restaurants.
B. “Self-driving ” chairs are the most useful in art galleries.
C. Japanese people prefer eating in restaurants to at home.
D. “Self-driving” chairs haven’t been in official use in restaurants.
