Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things, from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires. 1.
The theory is that the bees navigation (导航) systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones. Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive. But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. 2.
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated (授粉) by them. 3. Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, a London beekeeper, was recently asked how the problem was affecting him. “My business has been ruined by this,” he explained, “twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty.”
4. However, the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real. And we can’t manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! 5. If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it immediately—before it’s too late.
A. Bees are losing their way.
B. Nobody has proved the theory is true.
C. More evidence is provided to support the theory.
D. It is believed they are dying far from their hives.
E. Without bees, the crops can’t continue to grow.
F. The situation needs to be evaluated by the world’s best scientists.
G. One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees.
Researchers say public mistrust of vaccines（疫苗）is causing diseases like measles（麻疹）and yellow fever to spread. The scientists said the lower levels of trust can lead to people refusing vaccines. This, in turn, can cause diseases to spread quickly, they warmed.
But the researchers said they also found a high level of support worldwide for vaccinating children against disease.
The researchers questioned 66,000 people in 67 countries to discover their ideas on whether vaccines are important, safe and effective. The survey showed people in Southeast Asia had the highest level of trust in vaccines. Africa showed the second highest level of confidence. Europeans showed the lowest level of confidence in vaccines. In France, 41 percent of the population questioned the safety of vaccines.
Heidi Larson is with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She says recent media reports of problems involving vaccines have hurt public confidence in France. Larson noted that many Europeans worried about reports of possible links between hepatitis B vaccines（乙型肝炎疫苗）and the disease multiple sclerosis（多发性硬化症）. But she said scientists found no linkage between the two. Mistrust in France was also driven by public reaction to the H1N1 influenza（甲型H1N1流感）outbreak fears in 2009. The French government spent $1.4 billion on 94 million doses of the vaccine. The majority were sold or destroyed.
The findings come as a major yellow fever vaccination program has been launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. The disease has already killed hundreds of people in the area. The World Health Organization aims to vaccinate over 15 million people in both countries. “If everyone agrees to be vaccinated, we can remove yellow fever from our country,” said Mosala Mireille, one of the doctors directing the program.

3.Mistrust of vaccines in France was driven by the following reasons except ________.

B. public reaction to the H1N1 influenza outbreak fears in 2009
C. connections between hepatitis B vaccines and the disease multiple sclerosis
D. most of the doses of the vaccine were sold or disposed of by the French government
4.Mosala Mireille’s attitude towards the yellow fever vaccination program is ________.
A. Expectant B. Skeptical
C. Critical D. Cautious
Honesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box-a box where you pay for something by putting money in it-but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.
Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: “We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It’s part of our evolutionary psychological make-up-because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”
So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It’s because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says: “There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.
Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile (简介) to send you a message without knowing who it’s from. The app now has 300 million users which perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be-but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy?
1.What does an honesty box require people to do?
A. Get the change out of it freely. B. Put the correct amount of money in it.
C. Donate the pocket money to others. D. Pay a larger amount of money.
2.According to Philip Graves, being dishonest .
A. is a disadvantage B. should be advocated
C. is part of our evolution D. helps people survive, better
3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The reason for being honest B. The benefit of being dishonest
C. The outcome of selfishness D. The importance of group work
4.What can we infer from the text?
A. Honesty is always the best policy.
B. The author is in favor of dishonesty.
C. The market of the new app is promising.
D. Being honest with words is sometimes improper.
