Cell phones：Is there a cancer link?

worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes?（疹子）to brain tumors?．

???? Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．????But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证)．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels (标签) for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger．”???? Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation（调查）?of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been under way for several years．Its funded（provide money）?in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data?（数据）so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．21．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.???A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given warnings??

D．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors22．By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones”, Dr Martha Linet thinks that_______.????A．the connection between cell-phones and cancer has not been proved .B．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phones

C．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer at all.23．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?A．Optimistic．??? B．Objective（客观的）．??? C．Opposite．?D．?Hopeless

The pounding（重击声）?was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo（立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.

On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”

So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.

Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－—grin?and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?

In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.

The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.

24．The man living below where Edward lived was???????????????.

A．a deaf man????? ????????????????????????????????????? B．the owner of the house

C．a tenant??????? ?????????????????????????????????????? D．an old neighbor

25．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?

A．Grinning and bearing it.?????????????????????????????? B．Persuading them to stop repeatedly.

C．Shouting them to dead.??????????????????????????????? D．Moving away from the rude neighbors.

26．The woman killed her neighbor because???????????????.

A．he ignored her advice repeatedly?????????????????? B．she could not stand his playing the music too loud

C．she could not put up with him any longer????? D．he played the drums too often

27．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that???????????????.

A．being in prison means the loss of freedom?????????????????? B．grinning and bearing it is the best policy

C．Edward should follow the example of the woman ?????? ?????? D．the woman was right to kill her neighbor

Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.????

?Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.?????

Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication(?投身，奉献?) to the short story,” said one person.?????

Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”????

Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.?????

Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come.?“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.????

? She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American w
