3.Why is the work that Harris and his colleagues did very important?
Because it says that there is a definite and direct link between mobile phones use and cancer.4. Why is there no definite scientific evidence available now about the effects of mobile phones on people’s health?
One theory is that it is not available because the telecommunications industry is huge, and the amount of profit involved is enormous.5. What’s the attitude of Professor Tony Basten towards mobile phones? And what about Sir William Stewart?
Professor Tony Basten has supported the industry while Sir William Stewart would support higher pricing to reduce use of mobiles by children.
Listening:Listen to the passage and try to find the main points according to the supporting details.Supporting details:1
The report is based on the findings of research that was carried out in Sweden, comparing 1,617 patients found to have brain tumours between 1997 and 2003 with the same number of healthy people.
Supporting details:2
The study was conducted with 200 mice, half of which were exposed to radiation while the other half did not receive any radiation. The amount of radiation was equal to using a mobile phone for two half-hour periods per day. It was found that after eighteen months, the first half had more than twice the cancer rate of the second half.
Supporting details:3
Enormous profit from the telecommunications industry prevents the bad results of findings from being exposed/revealed.
