.当时,二次根式的值为【 】A.1B.±1C.3D.±3 答案:C解析:略[1]Some people's ears produce
wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem even
though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. Experts say it protects
and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter and keeps insects out.
Doctors think it might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps
ears from getting too dry.
[2]So earwax is good. It even has a medical name:
cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can
have too much of a good thing.
[3]The glands(腺体) in the ear
canal that produce the wax
make too much in some people. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets
washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage
that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears,but only push the wax
deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a
safe method or you could do a lot of damage.
[4]Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of
Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax
yourself. One way to remove wax is known as
irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear.
Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal.
Use an injector device to gently direct water against the wall of
the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.
[5]The experts at N.I.H. say you may have to repeat this
process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never
try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.
[6]After the earwax is gone, gently dry the ear. But
if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a
health care provider for professional assistance.
