It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.

“When can I get a cell phone?” The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道) to their parents if something goes wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and make sure they’re OK.
If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on.
You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged(充电) and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do, don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone who dropped her phone in the toilet!

WARNING: Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health.   

This sentence is a warning that you’d better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn't want IPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry's producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.

(1)If cell phone use can        health problems, the         will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.

Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮肤病专家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation(辐射)"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.

Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.

Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency(电波频率)radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.

Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones(有线耳机)or the phone's speaker. (2)Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant(怀孕的) women should keep phones away from their bodies.

1.在(1)句空白处填入适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。

2.将(2)句翻译成中文。

3.回答问题:What kind of people with brain cancer are getting more and more?

Scientists are still carrying on with the studies on cell phone radiation and children

So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?

If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don’t take a shower or do some dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. I learnt the hard way, and my computer was broken. Never use the phone. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.

If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter under a tree, because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the trees to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal. Try to get in your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away.2) If there is no building around, try to find a low place to stay in. Squat(蹲) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.
