I'm looking forward to receive my dictionary as soon as possible.

Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity (負(fù)面才艮道) of such ideas. 2       On the other hand,signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.

4       The answer is radiation. Hightech 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 safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. 5       Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future,mobile phones may have a warning label that says they're bad for your health. So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

   A. They will possibly affect their benefits.
