A Pay Rise or Not?
'Unless I get a rise, Ill have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,' George Strong sail to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had bee offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises (加工资) for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead (前额); His problems seemed endless.

根据短文回答 23~30 题。 Can Mobile Phones Cause Disease? 1 'Mobile phone killed my man,' screamed one headline last year.Also came claims that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss.And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly(假定地)showing how mobile phones heat the brain.2 For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worrying times.But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you will hear a different story. According to them,there is no evidence that mobile phones cause cancer or any other illness in people.3 What we do have,however, are some results suggesting that mobile phones' emissions have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can't be explained by the general radiation biology.And it's only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we' be able to say for Sure what mobile phones might be doing to the head.4 One of the odd effects comes from the now famous' memory loss' study.Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave emissions of mobile phones to the Left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were just as good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen, whether or not the device was switched on.Preece says he still can't comment or the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive abilities,'I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,' he says.5 Another expert,Tatters all,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss.One result,for instance,suggests that nerve cell synapses(突触) exposed to microwaves become more-rather than less-receptive(感受的)to undergoing changes linked to memory formation.6 Hopefully, microwaves might turn out to be good for you.It sounds crazy, but 3 couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were Less Likely to develop brain tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical. 第 23 题 paragraph 2_____________A.Bad ResultsB.Widespread OppositionC.Groundless AnxietyD.NO Effect on Short-term MemoryE.Mysterious EffectsF.Further Reassurance
