We use them to convey<br /> our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them<br /> more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements<br /> saying we need more advanced services.<br /> Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third<br /> generations phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims<br /> 4<br /> <br /> that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the<br /> public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones<br /> reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications<br /> tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.<br /> The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers,<br /> the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly<br /> because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest<br /> that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging was seen as a way of<br /> overcoming shyness. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global,<br /> supporting existing friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader<br /> community. Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody<br /> from another area.<br /> Among the most important benefits of using mobiles phones, the report claims, will<br /> be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the<br /> provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on<br /> government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion<br /> including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind<br /> patients of appointments. There are many possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a<br /> mobile navigation product was launched. When the user enters a destination, a route is<br /> automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voiced, pictures and maps as<br /> they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road<br /> works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients<br /> by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma management solution using<br /> mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.<br /> Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third<br /> generation phones to provide fast<br /> internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and<br /> can have no access to online information. ‘As the new generation of mobile technologies<br /> takes off, the social potential of the vastly increase,’ the report argues.<br /> Question 36: What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to<br /> mobile phones?<br /> A. We can’t live without them.<br /> B. We are worried about using them so much.<br /> C. We have contradictory feelings about them.<br /> D. We need them more than anything else to deal with modern life.<br /> Question 37: What does “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?<br /> A. long-term effects<br /> B. new mobile technologies<br /> C. doubts<br /> D. benefits<br /> 5<br /> <br />
