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.
