　　Mobile Phones

　　Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved1 to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said. “Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information,” Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.

　　A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effets on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2,000 a day. 47

　　As well, there are 2, 000 transmitter towers around Austrnlia, many in high density residential areas. 48 The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.

　　Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centres, hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children. 49 He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.

　　50 According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.

　　A. He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.

　　B. By the year 20004 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one for every two people.

　　C. “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said.

　　D. Then who finances the research?

　　E. For example, Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.

　　F. The conclusion is that mobile phones brings more harm than benefit.

　　Chicken Soup for the Soul：Comfort Food Fights Loneliness

　　“For me 53 , food has always played a big role in my family,” says Jordan Troisi, a graduate student at the University of Buffalo, and lead author on the study. The study came out of the research program of his co—author Shira Gabriel. It has 54 non-human things that may affect human emotions. Some people reduce loneliness by bonding with their 55 TV show, building virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved ones. Troisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect 56 making people think of their nearest and dearest.

　　In one experiment, in order to make 57 feel lonely, the researchers had them write for six minutes about a fight with someone close to them. Others were given an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each 58 wrote about the experience of eating a comfort food and others wrote about eating a new food. 59 , the researchers had participants 60 questions about their levels of loneliness.

　　Writing about a fight with a close person made people feel lonely. But people who were generally 61 in their relationships would feel less lonely by writing about a comfort food. “We have found that comfort foods are consistently associated with those close to us. ”says Troisi. “Thinking about or consuming these foods later then serves as a reminder of those close others. ” In 62 essays on comfort food, many people wrote about the 63 of eating food with family and friends.

　　In another experiment, 64 chicken soup in the lab made people think more about relationships, but only if they considered chicken soup to be a comfort food. This was a question they had been asked long before the experiment, along with many other questions, so they wouldn’t remember it.

　　“Throughout everyone’s daily lives they experience stress, often associated with our 65 with others,” Troisi says. “Comfort food Can be an easy remedy for loneliness. ”
