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
3

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 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 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.

because ________.

A. the negative public use of the cell phones
B. information on the lethal effects of cell phones

D. poor ideas about the effects of cell phones
Question 38: The changes possibly caused by the cell phones are mainly concerned with _____.
A. the resident memory B. the arteries of the brain
C. the smallest units of the brain D. the mobility of the mind and the body
Question 39: Doctors have tentatively concluded that cell phones may ________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 43 to 50.

While many nineteenth-century reformers hoped to bring about reform through education or by
eliminating specific social evils, some thinkers wanted to start over and remark society by founding
ideal, cooperative communities. The United States seemed to them a spacious and unencumbered
country where models of a perfect society could succeed. These communitarian thinkers hoped
their success would lead to imitation, until communities free of crime, poverty, and other social ills
would cover the land. A number of religious groups, notably the Shakers, practiced communal
living, but the main impetus to found model communities came from nonreligious, rationalistic
thinkers.
Among the communitarian philosophers, three of the most influential were Robert Owen, Charles
Fourier, and John Humphrey Noyes. Owen, famous for his humanitarian policies as owner of
several thriving textile mills in Scotland, believed that faulty environment was to blame for human
problems, and that these problems could be eliminated in a rationally planned society. In 1825, he
put his principles into practice at New Harmony, Indiana. The community failed economically after
a few years but not before achieving a number of social successes. Fourier, a commercial
employee in France, never visited the United States. However, his theories of cooperative living
influenced many American through the writings of Albert Brisbane, whose Social Destiny of Man
explained Fourierism and its self-sufficient associations or “phalanxes”. One or more of these
phalanxes was organized in very Northern state. The most famous were Red Bank, New Jersey,
and Brook Farm, Massachusetts. An early member of the latter was the author Nathaniel
Hawthorne. Noyes founded the most enduring and probably the oddest of the utopian
communities, the Oneida Community of upstate New York. Needless to say, none of these
experiments had any lasting effects on the patterns of American society.
