Today there are 4 billion people around the world with cellphones. As cellphone numbers have grown, so have fears about their safety.

Scientists have not found a definite link between cellphones and cancer, but studies do suggest an increased risk for those who have used the phones for 10 years or more.

“There’s enough concern that the governments of six countries including France, Germany and Israel have limited the usage of cellphones, particularly for children,”says Jane Houlihan, who is vice president of the US’ Environmental Working Group.

The group did a study recently. They found that some cellphones give out several times more radiation(辐射)than others. They have published a list with the radiation levels of 1,000 cellphones.(For the list, visit http://www.ewg.org/cellphoneradiation)Houlihan says her group thinks people should choose a phone with lower radiation.

The following suggestions may also help you to cut your risk.

1. Use a headset(耳机)or speaker

Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some wireless headsets do give out low-level radiation, so take yours off your ear when you’re not on a call. Using your phone with a speaker will also reduce your risk.

2. Listen more, talk less

Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you’re getting messages. Listening more and talking less reduces your risk.

3. Hold the phone away from your body

Hold the phone away from your body when you’re talking(with headset or speaker), not against your ear, in a pocket, or on your belt.

4. Choose texting over talking

Phones use less power(less radiation)to send text than voice. And unlike when you speak with the phone at your ear, texting keeps radiation away from your head.

5. Poor signal? Stay off the phone

Fewer signal bars(格)on your phone means that the phone is giving out more radiation. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.

69. Scientists are concerned about the increasing usage of cellphones because   .

A. there is an obvious link between the use of cellphone and cancer

B. cellphones give out radiation strong enough to cause cancer

C. studies suggest an increased risk of cancer for cellphone users of 10 years or more

D. people spend more time on their cellphones than before

70. In which of the following situations would it be better NOT to use a cell phone?

A. When your battery is running out.   B. When you don’t have a headset.

C. When the signal is poor.     D. When you can send a text message instead.

71. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Cellphone radiation does less harm to children.

B. The 1,000 cellphones on the US’s Environmental Working Group List are safe.

C. You should keep your cellphone in your pocket or on your belt while talking with a headset.

D. Send a text message when you do not need to make a call.

Book clubs are a great way for adults to get together, have some fellowship, and have intellectual(智力的)conversation. Sure, book clubs may seem more popular to women than men, but I know plenty of fantastic men who love their“book clubs”just as much as I do! So why are we not getting our kids to take part in these types of activities more?

Reading is the biggest push in education today. If our kids do not or cannot read, the future of this country will be in jeopardy. Educators are working overtime, round the clock, trying to teach kids to read. Think of a strategy(策略)to make a child interested in reading? The school systems are doing it. But all students should be enrolled(加入)in some sort of reading class based on their reading needs.

And we can do plenty about this at home! If you are busy and do not have the chance to stay at home with your child, then read to them every night before bedtime. Let them touch the books, hold the books, eat the books if they want to! Any interaction(互动)a child has with a book is good and should be made to be a positive thing. Find a couple of friends with children in your age group and get them together once a month, just like the adults, and seat them in a circle with a pile of books. Do not expect them to discuss which characters they like or hate, instead, have them“play”together with the books.

As they get older, have them read to each other. If we make reading fun and part of what they do with their friends, we still have a chance to teach our future leaders how to be good readers!

72. The first paragraph intends to tell us that    .

A. we’d better encourage our kids to join the book clubs

B. many parents get together with their children in book clubs

C. women love book clubs as much as the men

D. children shouldn’t take part in too many activities

73. The underlined phrase“in jeopardy”(in Paragraph 2)can best be replaced by“   ”.

A. in common   B. in peace   C. in trouble   D. in place

74. According to the third paragraph, the author thinks it is good for children to    .

A. discuss what kinds of books they like best

B. become familiar with each other through reading books

C. become more positive to make friends

D. enjoy doing anything just with a book

75. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Book clubs are important to us in our daily life.

B. We should try to make our children good readers.

C. It is necessary for us to communicate with our children.

D. Children usually have a good time together.
