“高考改革方案”難出臺(tái) |
| The Ministry of Education has not yet issued a plan to reform the current university enrollment system, the Beijing News reports. Some provinces already have administered the national college entrance exam a second time to try to improve their scores. Wang Feng, vice director of the National Education Development Research Center, said although the ministry has laid out some new reform measures, more time was needed to put them into effect nationwide. |

| Convertibles may damage hearing |
開敞篷車有損聽力 |
| Driving a convertible with the top down could expose passengers to dangerous noise levels on a par with a building site, a new study from Saint Louis University School of Medicine asserts, the Daily Telegraph reported. Levels up to 100 decibels were recorded at speeds of 75 mph, which for long periods could damage hearing. Even at 55 mph, levels were above 85dB, the equivalent to a construction site. Experts recommend driving with the top closed when traveling for extended periods of time at speeds exceeding 52 mph. |
據(jù)英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，美國(guó)密蘇里州圣路易斯大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院一項(xiàng)新研究表明，開敞篷車耳朵所承受的噪音量相當(dāng)于在建筑工地的噪音分貝。當(dāng)車速為75英里/時(shí)（121公里/時(shí)）時(shí)，噪音達(dá)到100分貝，長(zhǎng)時(shí)間駕駛會(huì)導(dǎo)致聽力受損。即使行駛速度在55英里/時(shí)（89公里/時(shí)），噪音也有85分貝，就像處于嘈雜的工地中。專家建議，駕車時(shí)速超過52英里（84公里）且距離較遠(yuǎn)的話不要敞開車頂。 |
