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.

在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)，手機(jī)已成為人們生活中必不可少的一部分。然而，手機(jī)除了帶給人們?cè)S多便利，還會(huì)對(duì)人們的健康造成一定影響。

1. B考查遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。上文說(shuō)到，實(shí)際上在許多地方，沒(méi)有手機(jī)是會(huì)被認(rèn)為是不尋常的。所以選起進(jìn)一步解釋說(shuō)明的B項(xiàng)："在許多國(guó)家，移動(dòng)電話(huà)是非常受年輕人歡迎的。"

2. E考查遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。本段講的是手機(jī)可能帶來(lái)的健康方面的隱患，所以健康專(zhuān)家和研發(fā)手機(jī)的專(zhuān)家意見(jiàn)上有沖突是正常的。選項(xiàng)E中"they"顯然指的是"Mobile phone companies"里的相關(guān)人員。

3. F考查因果關(guān)系。上文說(shuō)某銷(xiāo)售人員因?yàn)閲?yán)重的失憶而不得不很早就提前退休，因?yàn)?He couldn't remember even simple tasks."

4. D考查層遞關(guān)系。通過(guò)下文的回答可以看出，作者的設(shè)問(wèn)是：是什么使手機(jī)具有潛在的危險(xiǎn)性答案是：輻射。選項(xiàng)D符合行文邏輯。

5. G考查遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。本段建議我們少用手機(jī)。如果你想長(zhǎng)時(shí)間用電話(huà)交流，就用座機(jī)。

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that,since it's only used for cooking,there's no need to pay much attention to its color. 1       Color influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere,and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cooking.

To decorate a kitchen,first look for a theme which will influence the color scheme (方案) .The most common colors in kitchens are white,yellow and other light colors. Kitchens are usually painted in one color to create a clean and neat look. 2       Also,since kitchens tend to have smaller windows,the light colors help make it brighter. Neutral colors such as gray and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

3       Start with your favorite color,or two light colors that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners,three colors next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen,because one wrong color can ruin the whole look of the kitchen. When the kitchen color scheme has been chosen,other elements must be considered. Some important things,such as cupboards,in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (免磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 4       Last but not least,no matter what color scheme you use,make sure that it really is the one you want.5      

   A. Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colors.

   B. Different colors have different effects on people's mood.

   C. Otherwise,get advice from other members of the family.

   D. The light colors make the room seem bigger than it is.

   E. There are different ways to create a color scheme.

   F. In a word,kitchen decoration must go together with the color scheme.

   G. But in fact,the color scheme of kitchen is as important as those of any other rooms.

    It’s October,and what better way to kick off Anti-bullying(反欺負(fù)) Month than with a great read ? FJLAWD： How to StoP Hating Yourself,Others,and the Things That Make You Who You Are — a book by Emily-Anne Rigal and co-author Jeanne DemerS - is all about encouraging teens to face and accept their (弱點(diǎn)) .The book is a must-read for every teenager,but it can even teach adults about self-acceptance.

   Emily-Anne Rigal,21, is the founder of an online community called WeStopHate. The organiza-tion began as a YouTube channel and grew to include other platforms like Facebook,Twitter,Instagram and more. "WeStopHate is all about raising self-esteem in Jeens as a way to fight against bullying”r Rigal says. If you feel good about yourself,you re not going to hate yourself,and you,re not going to hate others. People who are hurt are likely to hurt other people.? And she knows this firsthand.

   Growing up,Rigal was bullied a lot and she had to change schools. Then at her new middle school she changed roles and became a bully,but she didn' t feel great about it. She often found herself annoyed on the bus ride home,wondering why she behaved so meanly. It wasn't  until she began to accept herself that she treated others with that same level of respect.

   With the help of her co-author Demers Rigal watched more than 100 WeStopHate videos from teens and chose the best pieces of advice and included them in her book. Because so many teens talked about flaws holding them back,Rigal decided to make it the focus of the book.

  “We live in a culture that makes us believe that :we’ re not good enough. If only we had X or Y or Z,we’d be happier and better. The key message in the book is that just as we are — flawed and powerful we are good enough ,” says Rigal.
