Mobile Phones：Hang Up or Keep Talking?

Millions of people are using mobile phones today. In many places,it is actually considered unusual not to have one. 1       They found that the phones are more than a means of communication―having a mobile phone shows that they're cool and connected.

The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity (負(fù)面才艮道) of such ideas. 2       On the other hand,signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case,a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. 3       This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,every day of his working week,for a couple of years.

4       The answer is radiation. Hightech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation,but they say the amount is too small to worry about.

As the discussion about safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. 5       Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future,mobile phones may have a warning label that says they're bad for your health. So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

   A. They will possibly affect their benefits.

   B. In many countries,mobile phones are very popular with young people.

   C. What do the doctors worry about?

   D. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?

   E. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for people's health.

   F. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.

   G. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.

There is always something to be thankful for

    A famous writer was in his study. He picked up his pen and wrote:

** Last year,I had an operation and my gall bladder (膽嚢) was removed. I was stuck in bed due to this operation for a long time.

** The same year I reached 60 and had to give up my favourite job.

** The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.

** And the same year my son had a car accident. He had to stay in hospital for several days. The destruction of the car was another loss.

    At the end he wrote: It was such a bad year!

    When the writer's wife entered the room,she found her husband looking sad. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another piece of paper and placed it on. the side of her husband's writing.

    The writer saw the paper which read:

** Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.

** I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can make good use of my time to write something better with more focus and peace.

** The same year my father,at the age of . 95,passed away without depending on anyone and without any serious condition.

** The same year,my son was blessed (保佑) with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son survived. 一

    At the end she wrote: This year was a great blessing and it passed well!

    See!The couple had different viewpoints on the same incidents. In our daily lives we should see that it's not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes US happy. There is always something to be thankful for!

             B ★★★★☆ !

    It is 7 am and the alarm is going off. You know you have to get out of bed to catch the school bus. But the strong wish to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong. Does it sound familiar?

    During adolescence(青春期) ，the body goes through many changes including changes in sleep patterns. Researchers have found that though : adolescents need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day they go to bed later and later with each passing year.

    In fact,the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as ： 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20!So by the time a 10-year-old who sleeps at 8 pm ' grows to be 17 or 18,his body naturally wants to stay up till 10:30 or 11 pm.

    According to researchers,this is because of a hormone called melatonin(褪黑素) that is produced by the pineal gland — a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin controls a body's natural d?y-night patterns. It causes a person tò become sleepy by lowering his body's (體核溫度) .It is produced much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years.

    Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep,important bodily functions and brain activities happen. Not sleeping can be harmful and even deadly 一 especially for those 'who drive. A slow brain makes it difficult to concentrafe. and can affect grades at school.

    The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests that letting teens sleep in during school days can lead to overall b?peí?ts for them,since children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are more likely to suffer from anxiety,have traffic accidents and perform poorly at schools. In fact,AAP advises that middle and high schools should start later 一 not before 8:30 am. But a later Start time means a later end time too. Will that affect after-school activities?

5. Researchers have found that teens .

   A. should go to bed at 10:00 or 11 pm

   B. will fall asleep later as they grow older 

    C. are unwilling to take the school bus

                 C ★★★★★

    Over the past decade,there have been many scientific studies on the digital (數(shù)字的) activity of people,such as making mobile calls,texting,e-mailing,and posting on social media. Nearly all human behavior leaves a digital footprint. Therefore,scientists can use such digital activity as a way to track human activity. For example,they can study differences between cultures in sleep patterns,work schedules,and spare time activities.

    Researchers from Finland and Denmark use a completely new approach to study digital rhythms (規(guī)律) .Previous studies focused on general patterns across large numbers of people. However,this time researchers focus. on pronounced,long-term differences in rhythm between inid?viduals. They show that people tend to have their personal rhythm of digital activity. It is stable like a personal signature 。(簽名)

    “Each individual follows their own daily rhythm ,” says Talayeh,who led the research. “In almost every case,the patterns differ strongly from the average behavior,for example by increased calling frequency during mornings,mid-days,or evenings ,” says Talayeh. What drives these individual differences is not yet clear. Geographical and cultural differences clearly play a role. “There could also be an effect of (生理學(xué)) .We see this research as the first step to understand how activity patterns are related to other people's characteristics,such as personality and mobility behavior,” say Talayeh.

    This finding could also have medical use. Digital rhythms could be monitored for patients with mental health problems. Sudden changes in patients’digital rhythms could be a sign that treatment may be necessary. “Combining this research with Big Data may also bring new ways of research in sleep studies ,” concludes Talayeh.

9. What do scientists use the digital activity of people to do?

   A. To make their research easier.

   B. To know about people's behavior.

   C. To aid the development of social media.

   D. To reduce people's dependence on mobile phones.

   A. Natural but casual.

   B. Personal and fixed.

   C. Different but unclear.

   D. Changeable and mysterious.

11. According to Talayeh,digital rhythms .

    Americans gone super!Super-sized,that is. New Yorker Morgan Spurlock tells the truth about what is really in food and how much fat Americans gain in the new documentary,iSwperszze Me!In America around 75 million people are overweight.

    Morgan Spurlock put the issue of obesity to a test: eating nothing but McDonald's for an entire month. He faced many effects. For example,after the first week,his body fat increased by 5%. After the entire month,he gained 24. 5 pounds. His cholesterol (膽固醇) increased 65 points. He got frequent chest pain,nausea (惡心)depression,headaches,etc. He nearly doubled his risk of heart disease.

    During his experiment,he traveled the country to find out what we,re really eating. He met a man who had eaten 19 ,000 big hamburgers from McDonald,s. He discovered that children knew more about Ronald McDonald than George Washington or Jesus. He tried over ten times to schedule an interview with the head of McDonald's,but didn’t get a reply.

    In the end,I found myself disappointed with the documentary. It wasn 51 the lack of information. In fact,if this was based on information,I’d give it 5 stars. Spurlock didn't let the information speak for itself. If he had,this documentary would have been brilliant. His points were overstated.

    He ended the documentary by saying, “Who do you want to see go first? You? Or them?” I believ? the point he’s trying to make is that eating fast foods will endanger US. But it’ 11 take a lot more than a ：hamburger once a month to kill US. Yes,if you eat McDonald's every day,you need to change your :eating habits. But scaring the rest of US into eating i vegan pies every day? No,thank you. r II take my coke super-sized.

    D. show more interest in business than history

7. Why was the author unsatisfied with Supersize Mel

   A. It lasted too long.

   B. It gave unclear points,

    C. It failed to convince him.

   D. It provided limited information.

               Angle of perception 

 

    Once,a professor put a chair at a certain distance on the stage,and then started his lecture. Pointing to the middle row audience,those who were sitting exactly in front of the chair,he asked, “How many legs does the chair have? Please tell me exactly what you observe,not assuming that the chair has four legs."

    The first person from the middle row replied, “Two”，because ihe other two legs were hidden behind the front legs. The professor then asked the same question to the viewers on the left. The answer came “Three”. Here,one back leg was hidden behind one of its front legs. So,only three could be seen. The same question was repeated to those on the right and the extreme comers of the audience. The answers he received were uThree^ and aF〇?ur,? respectively (分別地) . 

    The professor then said, “Look!All of you know that the chair has four legs,but when I asked you to answer me exactly what you observed from your angle (角度) ，your answers were different. But do you think it is possible? Do you think that the same chair has two,three or four legs? Obviously the answer is “no”. We assumed it as the different numbers* according to our perception,the angle. from which we view. So what I mean is that our perception is not always correct or true. The same thing happens to everybody when he / she judges others from his / her view point. Kindly,think about this when you are judging others." Sometimes,things are misunderstood because of our angle of percep-tion.

Find the words in the text that fit the following descriptions.

1. V. to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it (in Paragraph 1)

2. n. an idea,a belief or an image you have as a result of how you see or understand sth (in Paragraph 3)
