They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most por
16、table (手提式的 ) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers. Since fuel, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extin
17、guish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get. Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting o
18、ff the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire. A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel. The method that is u
19、sed to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires.

They say the problem is growing. Teenagers really dont pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露 ) to
23、, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston told Reuters. Often people wont notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development, said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers. The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few tho
24、usand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. This certainly is big news, said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but
25、 she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group. In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes,. The reas
26、ons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure on the job, at school or from activities, for example the teenagers didnt report any change. But Shargorodsky said that might not be true. We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about no
27、ise exposure they underestimate (低估 ) it. Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear, said Grimes. Although its not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers hearing lo
