III. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions. (1.0pt)
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. 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.
1. According to the passage, cell phones are especially popular with young people because ________ .
A. they are indispensable in everyday communications
B. they make them look more stylish
C. they keep the users alert all the time
D. they cannot be replaced by regular phones
2. The changes possibly caused by the cell phones are mainly concerned with ________ .
A. the mobility of the mind and the body B. the smallest units of the brain
C. the arteries of the brain D. the resident memory
5
chuyenanh2017@gmail.com
3. The word “means” in the passage most closely means ________ .
A. meanings B. expression C. method D. transmission
4. The word “potentially” in the passage most closely means ________ .
A. obviously B. possibly C. certainly D. privately
5. “Negative publicity” in the passage most likely means ________ .
A. information on the lethal effects of cell phones
B. widespread opinion about bad effects of cell phones
C. the negative public use of cell phones
D. poor ideas about the effects of cell phones
6. Doctors have tentatively concluded that cell phones may ________ .
A. damage their users’ emotions B. cause some mental malfunction
C. change their users’ temperament D. change their users’ social behaviors
7. The man mentioned in the passage, who used his cell phone too often, ________ .
A. suffered serious loss of mental ability B. could no longer think lucidly
C. abandoned his family D. had a problem with memory
8. According to the passage, what makes mobile phones potentially harmful is ________ .
A. their radiant light B. their power of attraction

A. only use mobile phones in urgent cases

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions. (1.0pt)
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 n egative p
ublicity 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. 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.
