Every day on Amelia's way to work she had to pass a slum(贫民窟) .Though she was a social worker, she had never paid much attention to it.
This changed when she met a boy named Jack. Jack knew that she was the head of social services, and was sure she could help. He reached out his hand to touch her, and said, "Can you help me? I'm looking hard for my dad."
His hands were so cold that Amelia could not help holding them. She said, "What's up? ""My mum is sick and too weak to get up. Her birthday is coming. I know my father's coming back would be the best present. We really love him, and need him." "So what's his name? What does he do?" Amelia asked. He said, "I've no idea. My mum said he had left us before I was two years old." Amelia was deeply moved and said, "Take me to your home, son."
He led her to a small house. Looking around, there was nothing in it except for a small bed. A woman was sitting on it and as soon as Amelia saw her, she knew her life was near its end. She said to Amelia, "Please find a home for my son. Please don't leave him alone in the world. "With tears running from her eyes, Amelia took her hand and said," I will take care of him and love him as my own son." In fact, since her husband and she had no children, they had been wanting a child for a long time.
Ever since Amelia took Jack into her home, life is full of joy and laughter. She got the best present in return for her kindness.
WARNING(警告): Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health. This sentence is a warning that you'd better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn't want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry's producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If cell phone use can cause health problems, the result will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.
Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮肤病专家)who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation(辐射)"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. As a result of mobile phone radiation, she finds that a big increase(增长)in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.
Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency(电波频率)radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones(有线耳机)or the phone's speaker. Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from their bodies.
