I. Read the passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators preserve their food,

washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they

rely on surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they

should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now, we have had a shortage of donors

to give their hearts: to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.

Nowadays there are more and more talks about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and human

have always been over careful in respecting the life and well-being as other animals. This includes the life and well-being

of other humans. Therefore in the early years of the 21

century - I was told - the mass killing of monkeys may occur.

We will need to use their heart for human consumption.

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know fear, of

course, and they face real danger, but they are more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for

themselves, they run no business, chase no money, and unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, they do not

care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkey’s heart that we ought to implant in

ourselves but monkey’s brains.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In

many countries, cellphones are very 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 many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there

has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such

ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs

of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling

salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would

often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about 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 didn't agree.

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect

very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but

they say the amount is too small to worry about.

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your

regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can

be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that

says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
