III. (10pts) Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C, or D.
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 - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made 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, medical studies have shown 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 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. 5
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

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet
protocol suite, a set of communications protocols, to serve billions of users worldwide.
Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are being
reshaped or redefined by the Internet. Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to Web
site technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The Internet has enabled or accelerated
new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. 6
Online shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-
business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.
The origins of the Internet reach back to research of the 1960s, commissioned by the United States
government in collaboration with private commercial interests to build robust, fault-tolerant, and
distributed computer networks. The commercialization of what was by the 1990s an international
network resulted in its popularization and incorporation into virtually every aspect of modern human
life. In 2013, more than 2.7 billion people – over a third of the world’s population – have used the service of the Internet. Statements True False
