1．Could your cellphone give you cancer？Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，powerlines and wi-fi （路由器） could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumours．
For example，Camilla Rees，48，a former investment banker in the US，moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door．Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly．"I would wake up dizzy in the morning．I'd fall to the floor．I had to leave to escape that nightmare，"she said．Since then，she's been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields，or EMFs（低频电磁场）．
And she's not alone．Millions of people say they suffer from headaches，depression，nausea and rashes when they're too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs．
Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat，governments are still concerned．In fact，last April，the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs．The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones．
If these fears are reasonable，then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots．
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany，in New York，thinks there's a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia．Also there's a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours．
But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia （猜疑）．Dr Martha Linet，the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．"I don't support warning labels for cellphones，"said Linet．"We don't have the evidence that there's much danger．"
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer，in 13countries outside the US，has been underway for several years．It's funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cellphone industry group．
According to Robert Park，a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US，the magnetic waves aren't nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA，which is how known threats，such as UV rays and X-rays，cause cancer．
Perhaps it's just psychological．Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome，which is a condition that's considered to be psychological．
Whether EMFs are harmful or not，a break in the countryside，without the cellphone，would probably be good for all of us．

18．[1]It's a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood．You want to protect but not treat too kindly，advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input，of course．
[2]When your child asks for help or advice，give only what was asked for．If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot（绳结）for a project she is working on，just tie the knot．Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it．She wants to do it herself，in her own way．Befor                 which your child has not askd for，count to ten．Perhaps in those seconds you'll decide that the advice would do no good，or isn't really that important，and you'll drop it．If the advice still seems important，you will give it，but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way．
[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you．We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves，or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves．We need to help them to be them，not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good．
[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop．For example，one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood．

15．[1]Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy，or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy．They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship，the perfect house，the beautiful body，the approval of others，all in an attempt to be happy．
[2]Sometimes these things make people happy； other times，people stress over not having reached the goals，or reach them and find they're still unhappy．Other times，people focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy．
[3]Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness．Some of them are the things like money，friends，health and living conditions； others are things you may not think of in your daily life，such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life．
[4]So while setting your goals，remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support，personal development，physical health and meaningful pursuits（追求） besides career success and financial security．_____________，your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction．In addition to being optimistic，happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate，rather than the victims of circumstance．
[5]Explore the state of your life，assess how truly happy you are，and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness．Reach your goals，set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy．

14．[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions．And a story can be told  about each of them．Hot is a simple，easily understood word．So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot．But not always，as we shall see．
[2]The words hot potato，for example，give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expres． sion，hot potato．The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes．Imagine trying  to carry a hot potato in your hand．It would be difficult，even painful，to do SO．Some publicly argued  problems are highly emotional．The problems must be treated carefully，or they will be difficult and  painful if an elected official has to deal with them．One such hot potato is    taxes．Calling for higher  taxes can mean defeat for a politician．And yet，if taxes are not raised，some very popular governmentprog    rams could be cut．And that also Can make a politician very unpopular．The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．   
[3]Another expression is not SO hot．If you ask someone how she feels，she may answer"not so hot．"What she means is she does not feel well．Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something．You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot．That means   
[4]A hot shot is a person，often a young person，who thinks he can do anything．He is verysure he can succeed．But often he fails．The expression was born in the military forces．A hotshot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully．  
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger．A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead．An angry person'S neck often becomes red．We say he is hot under the collar．
