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
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.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation,according to Robert Bell,a scientist.And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated,he said."Nobody is going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information,"Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.______(46)
A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation.According to Robert Bell,there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2,000 a day.______(47)
As well,there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia,many in high density residential areas.______(48)The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.
Robber Bell suggests that until more research is completed the government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 meter radius of school grounds,child care centers,hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children.______(49)He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.
______(50)According to Robert Bell,it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides,he also urges the government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.

________（49）
A:He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.
B:By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones;nearly one for every two people.
C:"If mobile phones are found to be dangerous,they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,"he said.
D:Then who finances the research?
E:For example,Telstra,Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.
F: The conclusion is that mobile phones bring more harm than benefit.
