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

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

Most educational specialists believe that early schooling should provide

children with an (27) _ of their own abilities and the self-confidence to use their abilities One approach recognised by many (28) as

promoting these qualities is the Montessori method, first practised by Maria Montessori of Italy in the early 1900s Nancy McCormick Rambusch is

credited with (29) the method in the United States, where today there

are over 400 Montessori schools

The method helps children learn for themselves by (30) them with

instructional materials and tasks that facilitate acts of discovery and manipulation Through such exploration, children develop their sense of

touch and learn (31) to do everyday tasks without adult assistance

Other benefits include improvement in language skills, and acquaintance with elements of science, music, and art

It’s a sound you will probably never hear, a sickened tree sending out a distress signal But a group of scientists has heard the cries, and they think some insects also hear the trees and are drawn to them like vulture to a dying animal Researchers with the US Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service fastened sensors to the bark of drought-stricken trees clearly heard distress

calls According to one of the scientists, most parched trees transmit their

plight in the 50-hertz to 50kilohertz range (The unaided human ear can

detect no more than 20 kilohertz) Red oak, maple, white pine, and birch all make slightly different sounds in the form of vibrations at the surface of the wood

The scientists think that the vibrations are created when the water columns inside tubes that run along the length of the tree break, a result of too little water following through them

These fractured columns send out distinctive vibration patterns Because some insects communicate at ultrasonic frequencies, they may pick up the trees' vibration and attack the weakened trees Researchers are now running tests with potted trees that have been deprived of water to see if the sound

is what attracts the insects “Water-stressed trees also smell differently from other trees, and they experience thermal changes, so insects could be responding to something other than sound”, one scientist said

Question 32: All the following are mentioned as possible factors in drawing

insects to weakened trees EXCEPT

A thermal changes

D smells

Question 33: It can be inferred from the passage that research concerning

A has been unproductive up to now

Question 34: Which of the following could be considered a cause of the

C torn roots

D lack of water

Question 35: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A The effect of insects on trees

B The vibrations produced by insects

C The mission of the U.S Forest Service
