PART III: READING
I. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the
questions.
Million 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 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 issues 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 of 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 communication

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
C. their raiding power
D. their invisible rays
9. According to the writer, people should _______.
A. only use mobile phones in urgent cases
B. only use mobile phones in medical emergencies
C. keep off mobile phones regularly
D. never used mobile phones in all cases
10.The most suitable title for the passage could be ______.
A. "The reasons why mobile phones are regular"
B. "Technological Innovation and their price"
C. "They way mobile phones work"
D. "Mobile phones – a must of our time"

storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam,
many people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is
able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds
if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the
tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to
remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to
come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the
number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from
the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This
involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along
with other pre-existing long term memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can
be done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the
long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may
eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the
more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for
subjects that require a lot of memorization.
1. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A. They revert from the long term memory.
