In many places, it is actually considered unusual<br /> not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the<br /> phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool<br /> and connected.<br /> The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried.<br /> Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use<br /> of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone<br /> companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that<br /> mobile phones are bad for your health.<br /> On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use<br /> mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modem<br /> scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious<br /> <br /> .<br /> <br /> memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own<br /> son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working<br /> week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor<br /> didn't agree.<br /> What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech<br /> machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies<br /> agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.<br /> As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it‟s best to use mobile phones less<br /> often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when<br /> you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the<br /> future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's<br /> wise not to use your mobile phone too often.<br /> Question 20: The most suitable title for the passage could be ____ .<br /> A. “The Reasons Why Mobile Phones Are Popular”<br /> B. “Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time”<br /> C. “The Way Mobile Phones Work”<br /> D. “Technological Innovations and Their Price”<br /> Question 21: According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with young people because __ .<br /> A. they make them look more stylish<br /> B. they are indispensable in every day communications<br /> C. they keep the users alert all the time<br /> D. they cannot be replaced by regular phones<br /> Question 22: The changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with ___ ,<br /> A. the mobility of the mind and the body<br /> <br /> B. the resident memory<br /> <br /> C. the arteries of the brain<br /> <br /> D. the smallest units of the brain<br /> <br /> Question 23: According to the passage, what makes mobile phones potentially harmful is ________.<br /> A. their radiant light<br /> <br /> B. their power of attraction<br /> <br /> C. their raiding power<br /> <br /> D. their invisible rays<br /> <br /> Question 24: According to the writer, people should<br /> A. never use mobile phones in all cases<br /> B. only use mobile phones in medical emergencies<br /> C. keep off mobile phones regularly<br /> D. only use mobile phones in urgent cases<br /> Question 25: The man mentioned in the passage, who used his cellphone too often, __ .<br /> A. suffered serious loss of mental ability<br /> <br /> B. had a problem with memory<br /> <br /> C. abandoned his family<br /> <br /> D. could no longer think lucidly<br /> <br /> Question 26: The word "potentially" in the passage most closely means<br /> <br /> HaDim.Vn -

Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they<br /> still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into<br /> what is recognized around the world today as American music.<br /> Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer<br /> quotes his sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early<br /> African - Americans that is not always easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from<br /> Africa will never be known by name. No one wrote their history. Many of the slaves who sang work<br /> songs in the fields will never be known by name No one wrote their history either.<br /> However, there is a lot that we do know.<br /> The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious<br /> songs They are songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are<br /> often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings<br /> the refrain. Spirituals originated in the Southern United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often<br /> expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives. Well know spirituals include "Go<br /> Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."<br /> After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker<br /> Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson,<br /> well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals<br /> influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues.<br /> The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and<br /> sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about<br /> sadness and facing troubles. However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One<br /> blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician<br /> was w. C. Handy. Handy was not only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and<br /> published blues songs.<br /> During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also<br /> quickly gaining in popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat.<br /> Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music.<br /> The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for<br /> the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag. ”<br /> Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own<br /> kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other<br /> influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800‟s<br /> jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular<br /> <br /> HaDim.Vn - Chia Sẻ Tài Liệu Tiếng Anh Miễn Phí<br /> <br /> Trang 5<br /> <br />
