READING TEXT 1
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In
many countries, 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 professional 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, 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, a traveling 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, 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.

1. The most suitable title for the passage could be ____.

A. Technological Innovations and Their Price B. The Importance of Mobile Phones

2. According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with the youth because ____.
A. they keep the users in alert all the time B. they are integral in daily communication
C. they are the only effective means of communication D. they make them look more stylish
3. According to the passage, the changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with ____.
A. the smallest units of the brain B. the central unit of the brain
C. the structure of the brain D. the long-term memory
4. The words “negative publicity” in paragraph 2 most likely means ____.
A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones B. the negative public use of cellphones
C. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones D. constructive ideas about the effects of
cellphones
5. The word “their” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. mobile phone companies B. mobile phones C. high-tech machines D. radiation
