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.
If cell phone use can cause health problems, the result 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(皮肤病专家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation（辐射）"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（电波频率）radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones（有线耳机）or the phone's speaker. Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from their bodies.

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and
she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(吃力地喘着气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he
grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.
―You should get in touch with other young people,‖ hi s mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boy‘s father talked with the family doctor about his ears. ―Could nothing be done?‖ the father asked. ―I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,‖ the doctor replied.
Two year s went by. One day, his father said to the son, ―You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but it‘s a secret.‖ The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, ―Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.‖―You could, my son,‖ said the father, ―but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.‖
The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mother‘s casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand
and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.

A
The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more and more when you are in business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry,, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down the counter（柜台）and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and looking at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do you do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip and then it tells us whether you can fly
with us or not."
"So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That's right, sir."
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us."
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said, "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes'? They're still flying, aren't they?"
"I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington," I suggested.
"I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket."
"Is there any other flight to Washington within the next few hours?"
"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. "IT' can't tell me."
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The word spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people left without a word, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage（行李）.

I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by the beach for lunch. When we arrived, I saw JoJo, a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted(打断）by a stranger, who politely asked to speak to me alone.
We stood a bit away from my table. Usually, people who asked to talk to often told me their opinions on the shows I hosted. But he was different. He said, ―I'm James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK, she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"
I looked into the man's eyes, which were filled with tears. Then I went to sir back at the table. JoJo asked, "What's wrong? Your face changed." I told him why.
I thought of James and his daughter all the weekend. I even thought of doing a special TV show to collec t money for the sick girl. On Monday morning, I was at the office when JoJo walked in, which was surprising because JoJo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studios.
With a check book in hand, he said, "Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treatment. I've been marri ed for 35 years, but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child." I called James.

Having Fun "Growing" and "Stealing" ?
