MOBILE PHONES: HANG UP OR KEEP TALKING?
 More than two billion people use mobile phones today. In many places, it is more common to use a mobile phone, or cell phone, than a landline. Mobile phones are especially popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a 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, people may suffer health problems from using mobile phones. Even now, there are people who claim that their mobile phones are making them sick. In one case, a young salesman had to stop working because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple things. He would ofen forget the name of his own child. The man used to talk on his mobile phone for six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor disagreed. Of course mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such stories. They say that there is no proofs that mobile phones are bad for your health.
 While there still isn't any proof that mobile phones are bad for your health, neither is there any proof that mobile phones aren't bad for your health. Research has shown that using mobile phones affects brain activity, but it isn't clear why or what effect it might have over the long term.
 What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. Radiation happens when one object sends heat or energy to another object. Heat radiation from the sun, for example, is heat sent from the sun to the earth. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation fom mobile phones. The amount of radiation from mobile phones falls between the lower amount that radio waves produce and the higher amount that microwaves make. It's a fact that some radiation comes from mobile phones. While mobile phone companies agree with this fact, they say the amount is too small to worry about. Some scientists, however, disagree. They say we still don't know if small amounts of radiation over a long period of time can cause health problems.
 As the debate about the safety of mobile phones continues, you might want to take some advice from scientists. Use your mobile phone only when you really need to. Keep your telephone calls short. Turn your phone off when you aren't using it. When you do use it for long calls, try using earbuds instead of holding the phone to your ear. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, be careful.

 Tennis started in France nearly 1000 years ago. The game was originally played in the courtyards of royal palaces, using the walls (like squash) rather than a net. One of the Grand Slam tournaments takes place in Wimbledon every year. The Tournament or The Fortnight, as the British call the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, is very important to the English. So here you are, standing in the queue to buy your ticket to watch the matches. Everybody is waiting for their turn to get inside. Nobody is pushing. If you are English, you will have all the necessary things with you: a thermos of tea (of course), afolding chair and (surprise, surprise) an umbrella!
 At last you go through the gates, and you discover the atmosphere. People are sitting under their umbrellas enjoying the British weather. The atmosphere is calm and controlled. You feel as if you are in a select private club - and, in fact, you are.
 The gardens are superb (well, you are in England...). Every year 3,500 geraniums are planted!
 What is so special about Wimbledon? Well, it is the oldest tournament in the world, and the last of the big four championships to be played on natural grass. The American, Australian and French Championships are played on cement, artificial grass and clay. All the players must dress only in white. Wimbledon is free from sponsorship, which makes it different from almost all other sporting events. This means that there are no advertising banners around the courts. The people who come to watch the matches, compared to those who watch many other international tournaments, are well disciplined. You can only sometimes hear shouts or whistles when a player prepares to serve. And if any spectator behaves badly, he or she may be asked to leave.
 You think that the English are very serious tennis fans. But if you want a good place, you may well find one around 4 p.m. Where has everybody gone? Look in the tents: they are having strawberries and tea. After all, tennis is just one of many traditions, and the English like to continue them all - especially tea!
 (Adapted from Love English, 1994)

A. most of the spectators leave Wimbledon.	B. it is an English tradition to go home for tea.

Question 46: Which of these sentences is TRUE?
A. Only the Wimbledon tournament is played on natural grass. 
B. Most of the courts at Wimbledon have artificial grass. 
C. The Wimbledon championships are played on cement or clay.
D. All four Grand Slam Tournaments are played on natural grass.
Question 47: Spectators at Wimbledon..
A. leave when a player serves badly.	B. never behave badly during a match.
C. do not often shout during a match. 	D. are given special discipline rules.
Question 48: To enter Wimbledon you have to..
A. have your own chair.	B. wait in a line of people. 
C. belong to the club.	D. book the tickets earlier.
Question 49: The text is mainly about .
A. the history of tennis championships.	B. different English customs and traditions. 
C. the tennis tournaments at Wimbledon. 	D. the most popular sports in England.
Question 50: The Fortnight is

C. the original name for a game similar to squash.
D. another name for the Wimbledon Championships.
