　　第一篇　Cell Phonｅs：　Ｈang Ｕp or Kｅep Talking?
Miｌｌions of people　ａre using　cell ｐhones todaｙ. Ｉn ｍaｎy plaｃes it is ａcｔuallｙ coｎｓiｄeｒｅd unuｓuaｌ not　to usｅ ｏnｅ.

Ｔhe explosioｎｓ aｒound ｔhe ｗorld in　ｍobｉlｅ ｐhｏne　ｕsｅ make　some　healtｈ pｒoｆesｓiｏnal 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.

　Oｎ the other　ｈanｄ, whｙ dｏ some　medicaｌ　stｕdieｓ show　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 （扫描) ｅquｉpmenｔ. Ｉn　ｏｎe　caｓe, a traveling salesman had to retiｒe at ａ young aｇe ｂecaｕse oｆ ｓeｒｉous　memoｒy　ｌoｓs． Hｅ couldｎ't remｅmber eｖeｎ　ｓiｍｐle tasks.
