Cellphones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cellphones too often may cause cancer. It's reported that people who used a cellphone for 10 years or more were more likely to get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (风险) of cancer:
◆ When using your cellphone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don't put it under your pillow (枕头) or on a bedside table when you go to sleep.
◆ When you're on the cellphone, use the speaker. In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact (接触) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
◆ Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
◆ Change ears when you're using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.
◆ Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (发短信), but not when you're listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
◆ Do not use your cellphone when the signal (信号) is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
【小题1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To give an example of a foreign language. |
B.To show an example of creative methods. |
