 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 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 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 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 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 for about six hours a day, everyday 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 of 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.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius , they will cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. 
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

 Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
 Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
 It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in  their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

 A.   The advantages of telecommuting.	B.   A definition of telecommuting.

 A.   More than predicted in Business Week. B.   More than 8 million.
 C.   Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D.   Fewer than last year.
Question 47 : The phrase “of no  consequence” means          .
 A.  of no  use              B.  of no  good           C.   unimportant                     D. irrelevant 
Question 48 : The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT          .
 A.  the opportunities for advancement.	B.  the different system of supervision.
 C.  the lack of interaction with a group.	D.   The work place is in the home.

 Every year in late December, a southward-moving current warms the water along the Pacific coast of Peru. Since the warm current arrives around Christmas, the Peruvians named it El Nino, “ boy child”. Until the mid-1970s, El Nino was an unrecognized local phenomenon, until scientists began to realize that El Nino is part of a huge ocean and atmosphere system that is felt as far away as Australia and Indonesia.
 Every few years the El Nino current is warmer than normal, causing greater ocean warming and consequently changes in the normal patterns of sea and surface temperatures. The resulting changes in atmospheric pressure affect trade wind speeds and the location of the largest thunderstorms, thus affecting weather patterns around the world. The shift in location of the Pacific’s largest thunderstorms, which usually occur from the Western Pacific to the Central Pacific, changes global weather patterns because the thunderstorms pump air into the atmosphere in different places than normal. The result is a shift in the location of high-and low-pressure areas, wind patterns, and the paths followed by storms.
 From 1982 to 1983 the El Nino condition caused greater than average precipitation along the US. West Coast and sent five hurricanes to French Polynesia, which normally goes years without hurricanes. That same year, it was linked to floods in Louisiana, Florida, Peru, and Bolivia, and to droughts in Hawaii, Southern Africa, the Philippines, and Australia.
 In highlight to the 1982-83 global weather disruption, the World Meteorological Organization initiated the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere (TOGA ) program. The global of the 10-year program is to gain a better understanding of El Nino so scientists can forecast future El Nino episodes and their likely results.
