WARNING: Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health.   

This sentence is a warning that you’d better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn't want IPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry's producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.

(1)If cell phone use can        health problems, the         will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.

Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮膚病專家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation（輻射）"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.

Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.

Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency（電波頻率）radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.

Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones（有線耳機(jī)）or the phone's speaker. (2)Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant（懷孕的） women should keep phones away from their bodies.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句意如果使用手機(jī)能……健康問(wèn)題,將會(huì)非常嚴(yán)重。故填cause，造成，導(dǎo)致。

2.英漢互譯題。根據(jù)rather than，而不是，keep … away from 遠(yuǎn)離……，故答案是孩子們應(yīng)該發(fā)短信，而不是打電話。她說(shuō)，孕婦應(yīng)該保持電話遠(yuǎn)離她們的身體。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.她發(fā)現(xiàn)腦癌在20至29歲組大幅增加了。老年人組下降了。故填the 20-to-29 age group。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)所給句意：科學(xué)家們正在進(jìn)行手機(jī)輻射和孩子的研究。故填No studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children.

5.歸納理解題。根據(jù)文章的大意，開(kāi)頭提出了文章的主題，故填，Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health。
