Passage A:
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 – having a mobile phone show that they are
cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made 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, 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 travelling 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 had 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 theories 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 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.
