10、inutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely

11、 settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published

12、 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said t

13、he findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures”Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were intro

14、duced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study bu the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkows team studied 47 people who had their br

15、ain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.Experts said the

16、results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,”Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. a

17、nd Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects”They wrote.16. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A ,Cell phone use is dangerousB. Cell phone use causes cancerC. The h

18、uman brain is an electromagnetic fieldD. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now17.

22、t, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon（猎鹰）. We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I removed the falcons bead cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fa

23、st, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took back it to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.We left the camp the ne

24、xt day at 7 oclock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m. our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I de

25、cided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping.

32、r would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave

33、their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then o

34、n they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.

35、r they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.
