Three weeks ago I bought the electronic dictionary at a shop. But I hadn't used it for several day before I found it didn't work. So I went to the shop,but only to be told that the problem could not be solved unless it was sent back the factory where it was made. Then I did as I was told with any delay. Unfortunately,the factory promised to repair the dictionary and sent it back in a week. Two weeks has past,but I haven't yet received one. I have no idea why things are like this. I'm looking forward to receive my dictionary as soon as possible.

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.
