    Mobile Phones:Change Our Life

    In the case of mobile phones,change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture,but our very bodies as well.
    First,Let's talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent一the fixed-line phone,is that a mobile phone corresponds to a person,while a landline goes to a place.If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.
    This has several implications.The most common one,however,and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever,is the"meeting"influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago,a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now,however,a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer"see you there at 8", but"text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".
    Texting changes people as well.In their paper,"Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the"talkers"and the"texters”一those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text message to voice.
    They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
    Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is the"speakeasy":the head is held high,in a self-confident way,chatting away.And there is the"spacemaker":these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
    Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn't worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.

    This passage is from a science magazine.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?

    Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to
    use one.In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.They find that the phones are
    more than a means of communication一having a mobile phone shows that they are 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.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried
    about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your
    health.
    On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use
    mobile phones?Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning
    (扫描)equipment. In one case , a traveling salesman had to, retire at a young age because of serious memory
    loss.He couldn't remember even simple tasks.He would often forget the name of his own son.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.His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use,but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
    What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?The answer is radiation.High-tech 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 their safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
    Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.Use your mobile phone only when you really need
    it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,especially in emergencies.In the future,mobile phones
    may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health.So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile
    phone too often.

    On the safety issue of mobile phones,the manufacturing companies______________.
    A:deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
    B:develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
    C:try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
    D:hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段可知,人们买手机是因为它流行,从最后一段第四句可知,买手机是因为它方便又实用。
    detect意思为“发现,找到”,discover的意思与之一样。
    由第三段的第三、四句话可知,这个商人很年轻就退休是因为他丧失了记忆力,连简单 的任务都记不住了。
    由第四段的最后一句话可知,手机公司认为手机的辐射很小,不足以对人们的健康造 成伤害。
    由最后一段第一句话可知,作者的写作目的是劝我们最好少用手机。 第二篇 文章主要介绍了EoL这一工程的相关信息。

    Mobile Phones:Change Our Life

    In the case of mobile phones,change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture,but our very bodies as well.
    First,Let's talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent一the fixed-line phone,is that a mobile phone corresponds to a person,while a landline goes to a place.If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.
    This has several implications.The most common one,however,and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever,is the"meeting"influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago,a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now,however,a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer"see you there at 8", but"text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".
    Texting changes people as well.In their paper,"Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the"talkers"and the"texters”一those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text message to voice.
    They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
    Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is the"speakeasy":the head is held high,in a self-confident way,chatting away.And there is the"spacemaker":these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
    Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn't worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.

    Through a person's texts,we can tell what personality he really has.

    Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?

    Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to
    use one.In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.They find that the phones are
    more than a means of communication一having a mobile phone shows that they are 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.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried
    about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your
    health.
    On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use
    mobile phones?Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning
    (扫描)equipment. In one case , a traveling salesman had to, retire at a young age because of serious memory
    loss.He couldn't remember even simple tasks.He would often forget the name of his own son.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.His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use,but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
    What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?The answer is radiation.High-tech 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 their safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
    Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.Use your mobile phone only when you really need
    it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,especially in emergencies.In the future,mobile phones
    may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health.So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile
    phone too often.

    People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that_______________.
    A:they're popular
    B:they're useful
    C:they're convenient
    D:they're cheap

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段可知,人们买手机是因为它流行,从最后一段第四句可知,买手机是因为它方便又实用。
    detect意思为“发现,找到”,discover的意思与之一样。
    由第三段的第三、四句话可知,这个商人很年轻就退休是因为他丧失了记忆力,连简单 的任务都记不住了。

    Mobile Phones:Change Our Life

    In the case of mobile phones,change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture,but our very bodies as well.
    First,Let's talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent一the fixed-line phone,is that a mobile phone corresponds to a person,while a landline goes to a place.If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.

    Texting changes people as well.In their paper,"Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the"talkers"and the"texters”一those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text message to voice.
    They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.

    Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn't worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.

    In spite of all the problems,mobile phones still bring to us lots of conveniences.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned
