阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题．
If your ears are working well， you hear sounds all the time． You can't switch（关掉） your ears off， even when you are asleep．
◆Listening
When you really want to listen to something， you tell brain to focus on that sound． If your ears are healthy and are both working well， they can turn down other sounds while you focus on what you want to hear． If one ear isn't working____________the other， they can't do this as well． If your hearing cells（细胞） have been damaged by too much loud noise or music， what you want to hear can get mixed up and lost in the other sounds around． With healthy ears you can choose what you want to listen to， but you can't choose what you hear．
◆Understanding
Your brain deal with the received sounds and tells you what they mean． Some people have problems understanding what they are hearing because their ears don't work well and they don't hear all the sounds． The brain does not get enough information to understand the messages or may be mixed up．
