Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrantsdepended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20thcenturies, several European nations

instituted

public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in theUnited States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job.

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs -Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, SocialSecurity ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance,disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the SocialSecurity fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderlyAmericans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipateddeficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These includeMedicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built atfederal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charitiesand voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons.It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S.households contribute money to charity.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In manycountries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a

means

of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors areconcerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has

Trang 2/4 - Mã

thi 985

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, medical studies have shown 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 equipment. In one case, atraveling salesman had to retire at 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, everyday 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 verysmall amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they saythe 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 canbe very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that saysthey are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
