44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).

I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble.

“When can I get a cell phone?” The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道) to their parents if something goes wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and make sure they’re OK.
If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on.
You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged(充電) and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do, don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone who dropped her phone in the toilet!

A．wants to describe how children use cell phones
B．knows nothing about when children can have a cell phone

WARNING: Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health.   

This sentence is a warning that you’d better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn't want IPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry's producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.

(1)If cell phone use can        health problems, the         will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.

Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮膚病專家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation（輻射）"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.

Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.

Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency（電波頻率）radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.

Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones（有線耳機(jī)）or the phone's speaker. (2)Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant（懷孕的） women should keep phones away from their bodies.

1.在（1）句空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~使句意完整、上下文通順。

2.將（2）句翻譯成中文。

3.回答問題：What kind of people with brain cancer are getting more and more?

4.找出同義句。

Scientists are still carrying on with the studies on cell phone radiation and children

5.找出或?qū)懗鲈摱涛牡闹黝}句。

The summer is coming, and the storms are often. Though they happen often, some people don’t take them seriously. 1) In fact, it’s very ______ for people and it even can ______ people die at once.

So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?

If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don’t take a shower or do some dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. I learnt the hard way, and my computer was broken. Never use the phone. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.

If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter under a tree, because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the trees to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal. Try to get in your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away.２） If there is no building around, try to find a low place to stay in. Squat(蹲) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.
