BAHAS A INGGRIS.

We all know that mobile phones, cellphones, hand-phones, whatever we want to call them (and shouldn't we 311
be calling them the same thing?) are changing our lives. But it takes a good old-fashioned survey to wake us up the
glaring reality: they have changed who we are. The mobile phone has indeed changed the way we behave. But
perhaps we don't realize how much we have become its slave. Consider other elements of the Siemens Mobile
Survey: With the exception of Australia, in every country surveyed the majority polled said they would go back for
their phone if they left it at home (in Australia it was a respectable 39%). If you've endured the traffic in Indonesia
.Ile Philippines and India, you'll know what kind of sacrifice some two-thirds of those surveyed are making. I can't
think of anything I would go back for - except my wallet, maybe, or my clothes.
And even if we remember to bring it, we're still not happy. Many of us get anxious if it hasn't rung or a text --
passage hasn't appeared for a while (a while being about an hour). Once again of those surveyed, Indonesians -6%)
and Filipinos (77%) get particularly jittery. Australians are more laid back about this (20%), but every other -ser in
Asia seems to be glancing at the phone every few second. This statistic, I have to say, is highly believable, and the
instinct highly annoying. There's nothing worse than chatting to someone who constantly checks his or her - and-
phone.
Then there's the fact that mobile phones are not only enslaving the user, they're trampling the rights of everyone
else. Around a third of folk surveyed acknowledge they get so engrossed in mobile conversations that they're often
unaware of speaking loudly white discussing their private lives in public. At least most of us agree on one thing:
With the exception of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the increasing use of mobile phones has led to a decline in
courtesy and considerate behavior.
The bottom line here is that we are more than a little bit out of control. Mobile phones are great: but if we allow
them to dominate our lives to this extent - interrupting, conversations with those around us to take a call, staring at
our phones rather than relating to the world and people around us, sending flirty text massages to random numbers
then I can only assume that in another 10 years, society as we know it will no longer exist. All we'll see is a blur of
digital data going out and having all the fun, socializing, falling in love and taking sneaky pictures of each other.

Text 11

Due to the cases of Salmonella food poisoning in Europe, the sale of duck eggs reached its lowest point in the
1970's. Although it was never conclusively shown that duck eggs were to blame, the egg-eating public stopped
buying and many egg producers went bankrupt. Indeed, there is a risk of Salmonella poisoning when ducks lay their
eggs in damp conditions, such as on ground that is constantly wet, but the same can be said for the eggs of hens.
Moreover, commercial duck production in France and England, where the outbreaks of Salmonella poisoning took
place, followed the same standards as those used in the hen industry, which experienced no Salmonella problems.
Storage of eggs, whether those of hen or duck, can also be a factor in contamination. Studies have found that
bacterial growth reaches potentially dangerous levels at storage temperatures of 500 C or greater.
