Its reported that people who use a cell phone for 10 years or more may get brain cancer.The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk of cancer:When using your cell phone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Dont put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep.When you re on the cell phone,use the speaker. In this way ,you have just 1/100th of the contact with radiation (辐射）you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer,use an ordinary phone instead.Change ears when youre using your cell phone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages, but not when you re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can reduce the risk of cancer.Do not use your cell phone when the signal(信号）is weak or when moving at high speed, for example in a car or on a train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.( )51.According to the passage,using cell phones too much may cause .

These are known as ice hotels. Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby. To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by reindeer skins（驯鹿皮）. There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors, indoor temperatures are still very low. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers.( )56.According to the passage,ice hotels .

We were told what we should and shouldnt do (for example,Dont talk to the stars), and then waited until 5ciock. Thats when the stars started coming. The show started at six oclock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette , we were told to go and sit in their seat. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired, but I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (hes very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman andJulia Roberts.
