(2019·苏、锡、常、镇模拟)In Florida, a group of parents known as “the break moms” has been fighting to pass a law guaranteeing the state's elementary-school students at least 20 minutes of daily free play.
In a survey of school-district administrators, roughly a third said their districts had reduced outdoor play in the early 2000s. Disadvantaged kids have been the most likely to be shortchanged (克扣). According to a 2003 study, just 56 percent of children living at or below the poverty line had break, compared with 83 percent of those above the poverty line; a similar disparity (差异) existed between black children and their white peers.
The benefits of break might seem obvious — time to run around helps kids stay fit. But a large body of research suggests that it also promotes cognition (认知). Many studies have found that regular exercise improves mental function and academic performance. And an analysis of studies that focused specifically on break found positive associations between physical activity and the ability to concentrate in class.
In one series of experiments, researchers controlled break start times. Some days children were let out at 10 a．m., and other days at 10：30. The kids' attentiveness decreased when they had to wait longer for break, and refreshed themselves after they played. And when fourth-graders in a break-free school were given a weekly break, another group of researchers found that they had an easier time staying on task and were much less restless. These experimental findings are supported by an analysis of 10,000 questionnaires filled out by third-grade teachers: Even a single 15-minute daily break was connected with more positive ratings of classroom behavior.
Perhaps most important break allows children to design their own games, to test their abilities, to role-play, and to settle their own conflicts — activities that are key to developing social skills and managing complicated situations. Initial results from an ongoing study in Texas suggest that elementary-school children who are given four 15-minute breaks a day are significantly more sympathetic toward their peers than are kids who don't get break.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了一群被称为“休息妈妈”的家长一直在努力通过一项法律，保证该州的小学生每天至少有20分钟的自由玩耍时间的事情。研究表明有足够休息时间的孩子学习成绩更好，情商也更高。
3．What causes “the break moms” to start a fight?
A．Pupils' lack of outdoor play.
B．Poor school management.
C．Absence of education laws.
D．Inequality among students.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，她们想要通过的法律是为了保障孩子们每天课外活动的时间，故原因是孩子们现在缺少户外活动的时间。
4．In one series of experiments, researchers find that ________.
A．children behave better when let out earlier
B．kids waiting longer are unable to stay focused again
C．third-graders have difficulty in focusing on task
D．fourth-graders are more c oncentrated without a break
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的第三句“The kids' attentiveness decreased when they had to wait longer for break, and refreshed themselves after they played.”
可知，当孩子们不得不等待更长的时间才能休息时，他们的注意力下降了，所以被更早放出去活动的学生表现更好。
5．What can we infer if we can ensure children a certain amount of daily break?
A．They escape from life conflicts.
B．They may strengthen dependence.
C．They are more considerate towards others.
D．They are eager to manage complicated situations.
解析：选 C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“children who are g iven four 15-minute breaks a day are significantly more sympathetic toward their peers than are kids who don't get break”可知，研究表明，每天休息4个15分钟的小学生比没有休息的孩子对同龄人更有同情心。所以他们对他人也更加体贴。

(2019·盐城模拟)One day in 1995, a large, heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief.“But I wore the juice，” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the“Dunning-Kruger effect”，and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did —by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man(1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their
abilities. As much as D- and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
语篇解读：本文主要阐述了“邓宁－克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自己的思路，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。
6．Which of the following statements about the DunningKruger effect is true?
A．The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B．It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C．Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D．The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是“some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are”可知，邓宁－克鲁格效应指的是那些过度高估自己能力的、过度自信的人。
7．What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?
A．Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B．Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C．Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D．People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.
解析：选 B 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.”可知，能力差的人不会去反思自己的不正确的方法，而是坚持他们的方法是正确的。所以说他们非常的固执。
8．The underlined word“begets”ca n be replaced by ________.
A．gives rise to B．takes advantage of
C．makes up for D．breaks away from
解析：选A 词义猜测题。引用查尔斯·达尔文作品中的话是对上面的研究结果进行归纳总结。上面的研究表明无知的人更加盲目地自信。所以这句话的意思是“无知比知识更容易产生自信。”beget＝give rise to“产生”。
9．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B．It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C．Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D．Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
解析：选A 推理判断题。本文主要阐述了“邓宁－克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自己的思路，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。所以真正的知识是了解一个人无知的程度。
D
(2019·南通七市模拟)UN scholars have calculated that within the next 10 years the degradation (退化) of farm and grassland could turn 50 million people into migrants. Another UN agency calculated that in the last 25 years, another 3% of the planet's forests had been burned or cut down.
Once you have read Gaia Vince's book, you start to register the scale of change in a fast-changing world. Adventures in the Anthropocene holds a mirror up to humanity and says: look what you have done to the world, the only world you will ever have.
The Anthropocene — the Age of Man — is a proposed new name for the quaternary (第四纪) period that we now live in, and it includes what has come to be called the Great Acceleration, in which during the last 65 years, whatever humans did, they did it faster and more effectively, and on a greater scale, while_at_the_same_time_reproducing_more_and_dying_much_less.
Did it take 50,000 years to reach a population of one billion? Just in the last 10 years, another billion people appeared on the planet, and by the end of this century, it could be home to 9, or 10, or 11 billion souls, each of which will hope for the minimum to sustain health and contentment. Many of them will demand a lot more, which is where the problems begin. To build cities, pave highways and establish factories, humans decades ago became the greatest earthmoving force on the planet: they each year shift more rock and soil than the wind and the rain, the rivers and the glaciers (冰川) combined.
Cities now cover 2% of the planet's land: by 2030, this will be 10%. Over the next 80 years, the species will build a city for one million people every 10 days. To keep these cities functioning, humans will consume 18 terawatts of energy and by 2020, around 5 billion of them will have smartphones, and Internet access, and already people who are miserably poor can see, at a finger's touch, what they are missing, and want it for themselves, and in the course of trying to get it, consume more resources and cause destruction to the ecosystem.
Anyone who reads this book will have no excuse for not thinking about it. Vince doesn't just collect the statistics of exploitation and destruction, she goes to see for herself what they mean. Like a good reporter, she tries to see both sides: she
explores both the human destruction and the beneficial and sometimes amazing solutions that human wisdom can deliver. She does the legwork too: she climbs up steep mountainsides in Nepal, and in Ladakh, looks at hydroelectric plans in Patagonia, walks through the forest to get closer to a tiger, steps out in the slums near Cartagena in Colombia, and slips down an Amazon tributary in a dugout.
Everywhere in the world, the ice is disappearing, but in Ladakh, an engineer has worked out a way to make artificial glaciers to store the water for summer growth, and in doing so has given the villagers not just security but a new kind of hope. In every chapter, there are excellent stories like this, glimpses (一瞥) of the other world that perhaps we could have made for ourselves.
Necessarily, to get around a topic that involves all human history and all geography too, she has to be brief, and so in every chapter, she leaves you wanting more. This is usually considered to be a good thing. Good or not, it is difficult to see. And if she helps readers understand a little better the loss and suffering lies behind the exploitation of the rare earths, then it becomes in every sense a good book.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了Gaia Vince的一本名叫Adventures in the Anthropocene的书。10．The statistics in the first paragraph are meant to ________.
A．rid people of their concerns about the earth
B．stress the gravity of the destruction of the earth
C．clarify people's misunderstandings of the earth
D．warn people of the contradictory reports about the earth
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据关键词“the degradation (退化) of farm and grassland ”
和“planet's forests had been burned or cut down”可知，目前地球遭受着极大的破坏。因此作者写该段旨在强调地球被破坏的严重性。gravity意思是“严重性”。11．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．more trees were planted and fewer of them died
B．people produced much more than they consumed
C．the birth rate was higher and the death rate was lower
D．more animals were raised and the survival rate was higher
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据本段内容可知，在过去的65年中人类处于一个加速度的时代，无论哪个方面人类都比以往的发展速度更快，效率更高，规模更大，同时人口繁殖更多，死亡更少。
12．According to the author, the construction of cities and infrastructures will
________.
A．create more job opportunities for citizens
B．narrow the gap between the rich and the poor
C．promote globalization and economic development
D．cause over-consumption and ecological destruction
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第五段的内容尤其是最后一句中的“consume more resources and cause destruction to the ecosystem”可知，为了维持这些城市的运转，人类将消耗很多的能源。借助于网络和智能手机，贫困地区的人只要用手指一触，就可以看到他们所缺的东西，并且在努力获得这些东西的过程中，消耗更多的资源。
13．Why does the book set people thinking?
A．Vince's own exploration made her description persuasive.
B．Vince's adventures provide information about mysteries.
C．The book contains some practical solutions from reporters.
D．The book arouses people's curiosity about some countries.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第六段的前两句尤其是第二句中的“she goes to see for herself what they mean”可知，任何读过这本书的人都没有理由不去想它。文斯不仅收集开采和破坏的统计数据，她还亲自去看看它们的含义。由此可见她的亲力亲为让她的书使人信服。
14．Gaia Vince writes the book to ________.
A．justify the need of humans for a satisfying life
B．advocate uncivilised life and fast development
C．share with the readers her adventures across the world
D．reveal all we have destroyed but may yet be able to save
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第六段第三句“Like a good reporter, she tries to see both sides: she explores both the human destruction and the beneficial and sometimes amazing solutions that human wisdom can deliver.”可知，像一位优秀的记者一样，她试图看到两个方面：她探索人类的毁灭，以及人类智慧所能提供的有益的、有时甚至是惊人的解决方案。
15．What is the author's attitude toward Gaia Vince's work?
A．Cautious. B．Ambiguous.
C．Casual. D．Appreciative.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据全文的内容，尤其是第六段的第一句“Anyone who reads this book will have no excuse for not thinking about it.”以及最后一段的最后一句“And if she helps readers understand a little better the loss and suffering lies behind
the exploitation of the rare earths, then it becomes in every sense a good book.”可知，作者认为这本书引人深思，是一本好书。所以作者是很欣赏这本书的。appreciative
意为“欣赏的”。
阅读理解D专练5篇 Passage 1(2017江苏,D) Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。
阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________.

高三英语阅读理解专练（七） 制卷人：施浩杰2008/11/17 A His own way to express love Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected. Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words. I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”this simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes. Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness. My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother. (344 words) 1. Why does the author envy other girls of her age? A.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 There might be as many as 10 million species of complex life on this planet today —— a huge number. But add up all of the complex species that ever lived and some biologists think the grand total would be about five billion. The estimate leads to an astonishing conclusion: a staggering 99% of species are not around any more. They have been driven to extinction. More species are joining the ranks of the extinct every year. Many scientists believe we are living through an episode of remarkably rapid extinction, on a scale that has been seen only five times in the last half a billion years. They call this current episode the sixth mass extinction —— a large, global decline in a wide variety of species over a relatively short period of time. And they tend to agree that humans are the main cause. Over-hunting, overfishing, and human-driven habitat loss are pushing many species to the brink. In fact, we have changed the planet so much that some geologists are now suggesting that we have entered a new phase in Earth's history; an epoch they call the ＂Anthropocene＂. By 2100, it is expected that humans will have caused the extinction of up to half of the world's current species. Because we are living through this extinction, it is relatively easy for us to study the driving forces behind it. But how do we determine what caused other mass die-offs that happened long ago? To do so we have to look at what archaeologists, palaeontologists, geologists and other scientists have concluded from the evidence they have gathered. The trouble is, those scientists do not always agree with one another —— even about the most recent extinction event. As well as the five-or six- mass extinctions, there have also been many smaller extinctions. One of these mini extinction events happened towards the end of the Pleistocene, a few tens of thousands of years ago. It is sometimes called the ＂megafaunal＂ extinction because many of the species it claimed were particularly large animals, weighing more than 97lb (44kg). However, its cause remains a debate amongst scientists. （1）What can we learn about the sixth mass extinction？ A. Humans are the main cause of it. B. It means a global decline over a long time. C. It occurred towards the end of the Pleistocene. D. Scientists still disagree about the cause of it. （2）What can be inferred from the text about species？ A. 99% of species will not be around any more by 2100. B. By the 22nd century, there will probably be about five million on this planet. C. About eight years later we will enter what is called the ＂Anthropocene＂. D. It is not easy for us to figure out causes behind the＂Anthropocene＂. （3）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph ? A. Land animals. B. Marine life. C. Huge animals. D. Flesh-eating creatures.

B Here’s one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it out. The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head — one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it because the sound was off. With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests th at the brain cells there were active ― even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone. Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology. For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a
