Birthdays are especially important to the very young and the very old. On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.” In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends. In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally. In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!”, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen. 【1】What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards? A.They are full of pictures of scenery. B.There are some flowers on them. C.There is a large number on them.

A.be called a senior citizen B.refuse to talk about his age C.receive a card from the queen D.be invited to dinner with the Queen 【4】We can infer from the passage that _______ . A.Bars in the US are forbidden to sell alcohol to young people under 21. B.In Britain, 18 means young people become adults. C.Young people will get a car as the 16th birthday present in the US. D.British young men love to celebrate the 21st birthday. |

Do cell phones cause cancer? No one knows for sure. Mobile phones have only been widely used for around 20 years, with the very first ones introduced just over 30 years ago. It’s too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones are. In February 2011, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism (葡萄糖代谢) during cell phone use. The study became the first to prove that cell phone use changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutes. The volunteers’ brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolism. Then in May 2011, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added radiation from cell phones to its list of things that possibly cause cancer in humans. The IARC's research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma, a dangerous type of brain cancer, or meningioma, a more common, but typically not harmful cancer. However, the study did find enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of glioma. In a contrasting report published in July 2011, a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of use. The study showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors (肿瘤) in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespread. With no long-term research available yet, limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by texting more and talking less is recommended. Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal, as it will need more radiation to contact the tower. Phone use for children should also be limited because their brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation. 【1】We can't be sure whether cell phones cause cancer because _______. A.there has been little research on the problem up to now B.it's difficult to track the bad effects of cell phone radiation C.different studies has been arguing fiercely about this problem D.there has been little evidence of it given the short history of cell phones. 【2】What did the IARC find from their research? A.Radiation from the cell phone is certain to cause some brain cancers. B.Using cell phone for long periods of time could increase the risk of cancer. C.Cell phone use is more likely to cause a common cancer than a dangerous one. D.Staying away from cell phones with weak signal can reduce the risk of cancer. 【3】What is recommended to reduce the harm from cell phone use? A.Staying far away from the signal tower. B.Using cell phones when the signal is weak. C.Limiting children's exposure to cell phones. D.Talking more and texting less via cell phones. |
