In the UK a trip to Lazerquest is a popular way to celebrate a birthday. It's a game where you shoot your friends with toy guns. Kids hide in dark corners and hope to surprise them.
Other people go bowling (打保龄球) and then have dinner at a nice restaurant. If it's your birthday you can choose whatever you want to eat and drink.
Going to an amusement park for your birthday is popular too. Amusement parks have big rides like roller coasters and ghost (鬼怪) trains. Parents often pay for their kids to bring some friends with them on these big days out.
If the weather is nice and you have enough space, you can have a garden party. People play games like blind man's bluff. One kid cannot see but has to try and catch the others by listening out for them. There's music at the party and sometimes a barbecue (烧烤野餐). Kids will usually bring along gifts like CDs or books to the party. Parents will buy their child a big present, like a game console (电子游戏机) or a bike.What is a trip to Lazerquest according to the passage?

“Millions of young people will lose their hearing in five years if they listen to MP3 or MP4 players at a too high voice every day,” scientists say recently.

The sizes of MP3 players are very small, but small MP3 players make it easy to take hundreds of songs with you. So many young people carry them and listen to music every day. MP3 players are very popular among students.
The scientists say teenagers should be far from high volume (音量), including mobile phones’ noise. A study says, “High volume and long listening time can cause hearing problems.” They think if young people listen at more than 89 decibels (分贝) every day, they will lose their hearing in five years.
