Do you or someone you know use a mobile phone?

In today's world, many people use a mobile phone especially businessmen and businesswomen. These people are an important part of the business world and help our economies develop. In fact, in some countries even children and the elderly use mobile phones to keep in touch with family and friends.

We know how useful it is to have a mobile phone, but do we know how safe these phones are? Some scientists say that mobile phones could be a risk to our health. So, money is being given to scientific research to find out if mobile phones may be harmful in any way.

What does the future look like? Is a hands-free phone the answer? The idea behind hands-free sets is simple and maybe they are a safer way for people to communicate. The hands-free set has a piece in your ear and a microphone near your mouth which is connected to a wire that goes into your phone. Some scientists think this is a much safer way to use a phone. Some scientists have proved that a mobile phone 10 centimetres from your head is far safer than if the headset is right against your ear. Some reports say that hands-free sets have 95% less radiation exposure, while other reports say that hands-free sets expose you to more radiation.

Governments and the mobile phone industry are researching the effects, including the effects of radio waves on blood pressure and the brain, such as the abilities toconcentrate, remember and learn the connections between mobile phone use and brain cancer long-term effects of mobile phone use, looking at health histories of people who have used mobiles since the 1980s

They will be looking at both current mobile phones and the new generation of 4G phones. The results from these studies will help us understand more about the world beyond mobile communications.

Wouldn't it be strange if scientists discovered that mobile phones were too dangerous and we had to stop using them and go back to writing letters and using the normal telephones?

The Wall

    Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a department store owned by their father. After their father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register(收银台). But when he returned, the money was gone.

    Gary then asked his brother Gavin, "Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?" Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept quarrelling. "Twenty-dollar bills can't get up and walk away by them- selves! Surely you must have seen it." There was anger in Gary's voice. His voice began to rise and anger grew. "I said I didn't see it!" Gavin raised his voice.

    The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the centre of the store. For twenty years, they never said a word to each other. One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, "How long have you been here?" Gary replied that he'd been there all his life. "Then you are the person I'm looking for, since I must tell you the truth," the customer said emotionally. "Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I hadn't been able to forget that. I had to come back and ask for your forgiveness (宽恕)."

    The stranger felt very surprised when seeing tears come to the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. "Would you please go next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?" Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more- after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in front of the wall of the store.

    After twenty years, the wall of anger that set them apart finally came down.
