38、lains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased.

40、isconnect”. The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average marks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to 29 age gro
41、up and a drop for the older population.“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.Children are more vulnerable(易受伤的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scient
42、ists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). “No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and child

Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw money from credit cards.Compared to checks, a credit card allows small short-term l
50、oans to be quickly made to a customer who need not calculate a balance remaining before every transaction. Additionally there is no need for a customer to carry any cash for most purposes. Credit cards also offer consumers an easy way to track expenses.Credit cards are very convenient to use. But pe
51、ople who use credit cards irresponsible can soon find themselves heavily in debt. Cardholders borrow money from a bank each time they charge something. They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month. But if they only make the minimum payment, it may take years to pay off a deb
52、t. Interest is continually charged on the unpaid balance.And that is not the only danger. Information security is a major issue these days. Recently there have been several incidents in which many people had financial information either lost or stolen. The cardholder suffered great losses. Now, majo

Answer the question
56、s according to the information given in the passage.Bicycle rental companies in Beijing are going broke, because nobody wants to hire their services. Major rental operators have invested about 100 million yuan（$14.7 million） in almost 20,000 bicycles but are now struggling to survive.A spokesman fro
57、m the Bird of Freedom Bicycle Rental said the company has already sold most of the 400 bicycles. “This is a difficult business, especially when it is cold. The cold weather almost killed the business,” he said.Bigger rental companies are also facing challenges. Beijing Bicycle Rental Co Ltd, which o
58、wns 8,000 bicycles, has invested more than 30 million yuan over the past year. Wang Yong, chairman of the group, said his company had not made a profit since it began in 2005.Almost all bicycle rental companies in Beijing require deposits of 300 to 400 yuan and then customers need to pay 10 yuan or
59、more per hour. “I dont want to pay 400 yuan to rent a bike. Its too dear,” said Zhang Yu, a student in Communication University of China, who does not own a bike and often takes motorized rickshaws. “If renting for one day will cost 20 yuan and I rent a bike for five days, I can use the money to buy
60、 a new one.Although facing economic ruin, some enterprises are still hoping that conditions will improve.BikeMedia, one of the biggest bicycle rental companies in China, also invested tens of millions yuan in Beijing and has more than 10,000 bicycles. Li Weiwei, general manager of BikeMedia Beijing,
61、 said his company has a policy of no deposit and no payment. He said the company tried to put advertisements on the bicycles and in this way, they could make profits. But they had not made a profit yet because of its small scale. However, customers must pay 20 yuan per card and also show proof of go
62、od personal credit.In early July, the Beijing municipal government announced plans to develop a 50,000-bicycle rental operation across the city. “The bigger network we have, the more citizens will rent bikes,” Li said. “This will make rental easier to citizens and we strongly need help from the gove
