[单项选择]Passage One Children should avoid using mobile phones for all but essential calls because of possible health effects on young brains. This is one of the expected conclusions of an official government report to be published this week. The report is expected to call for the mobile phone industry to refrain from promoting phone use by children, and start labeling phones with data on the amount of radiation they emit. The independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, chaired by former government chief scientist William Stewart, has spent eight months reviewing existing scientific evidence on all aspects of the health effects of using mobile phones. Its report is believed to conclude that because we don’t fully understand the nonthermal effects of radiation on human tissue, the government should adopt a precautionary approach, particularly in relation to children. There is currently no evidence that mobile phones harm users or people living near transmitter masts. But some studi

In a recent study, Charlotte van Oyen Witvliet, assistant professor of psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and colleagues asked 71 volunteers to remember a past hurt. Tests recorded sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension—the same responses that occur when people are beside themselves. Research has linked temper and heart diseases. When the volunteers were asked to imagine forgiving those who’d wronged them, they remained calm by comparison.
What’s more, forgiveness can be learned, insists Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. "We teach people to rewrite their story in their

[填空题]Like most other US college students, Eric Rogers knows that submitting a term paper taken off the Internet is plagiarism and cause for suspension or a failing grade.
What about using a paragraph "Just a paragraph " he said. "Taking a paragraph and changing words, I’ve done that before; it wasn’t a big deal," he decided finally. "As long as I can manipulate (巧妙处理) it to be my words, change a few, it’s not cheating."
Under the honour code he signed when he entered Duke University last year, it is. But for many college students, the once-clear lines that define cheating have faded. Some colleges and universities have resorted to sophisticated search engines to ferret out cheats. But an increasing number is turning to something decidedly more low- tech: their honour codes. Some campuses are adopting codes for the first time. Others, among them Duke, acknowledging that their codes have existed mostly in name only, are rewriting and more aggressively enforcing them.
