    Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone makers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters.

    If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. According to Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, brain cancer is a concern. Over all, there has not been an increase in its occurrence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-29 age group and a drop for the older population.

    “Most cancers have many causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.

    Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates (穿透) only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls (头骨) are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid.

    Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.

    Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the belly.

    1.According to Ms Davis, brain cancer increases ________.

    A. in the teenagers B. among old people

    C. in the twenties D. among pregnant women

    2.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?

    A. accessible B. changeable

    C. passive D. sensitive

    3. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.

    A. entertain B. persuade

    C. describe D. inform

    4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Low-energy Radiation Leads to Cancer

    B. Cell Phone Use Brings Health Problems

    C. Radiation Damages DNA in People’s Brain

    D. Researchers Launched Lab Studies on Cell Phones

    Robots make me nervous — especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.

    Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”

    Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!

    Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals, the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.

    It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

    I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

    1.The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text ________.

    A. better-known

    B. more persuasive

    C. better-organized

    D. more interesting

    2.An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because ________.

    A. it is much cleverer than us

    B. it would take over the world

    C. it would see us just as material

    D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us

    3.How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?

    A. Optimistic.B. Sympathy.C. Disappointed.D. Regretful.

    Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.

    Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.

    Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.

    The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.

    Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.

    Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”

    Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.

    1.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?

    A. smart phonesB. folding chairs

    C. camerasD. containers

    2.According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.

    A. abandon them at the bag check

    B. get fined and pick them up later

    C. turn them in to the police

    D. put them in the trunk of their cars

    3.The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.

    A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing

    4.According to the passage, it can be inferred that __________.

    A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security

    B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides

    C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally

    D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide

    I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.

    And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.

    But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)

    My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.

    Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

    1.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.

    A. he was hurt in a terrible car accident

    B. most families chose to go car-free

    C. the traffic jam was unbearable for him

    D. the cost of a new car was too much

    2.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?

    A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.

    C. Unconcerned.D. Optimistic.

    3.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?

    A. Take their advice.B. Argue against it.

    C. Leave it alone.D. Think it over.

    4.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?

    A. Life without a car is a little bit hard.

    B. Life cannot go without a car.

    C. A car-free life does not suit everyone.

    D. His life gets improved without a car.
