§1. No consumer product in history has caught on as quickly as the mobile phone, global sales of which have risen from six million in 1991 to more than 400 million a year now. The arrival of the mobile phone has transformed our lifestyles so much that men now spend more time on the phone than women, according to the results of our special opinion poll.

§2. Mobile phones are no longer just the domain of the teenager and, in fact, just as many 40- and 50-somethings now own a mobile phone as the 15 to 20 age group (slightly below 70%). Even among the over 65s more than 40% now have a mobile.

§3. The survey found that men with mobile phones (72% of all men) spend more than an hour a day making calls on an average weekday. The average man spends sixty-six minutes on his landline or his mobile, compared with fifty-three minutes before the mobile phone revolution. But the poll reveals that, while men are using their phones a lot more, women are actually spending less time on the phone. Slightly fewer women (67%) have a mobile phone, and the survey shows that the average amount of time they spend on the phone on a weekday has gone down from sixty-three minutes before they got a mobile to fifty-five minutes now. The explanation might lie in the fact that men love to play with techno toys while women may be more conscious of the bills they are running up.

§4. Innovation in mobile phones has been happening so fast that it's difficult for consumers to change their behaviour. Phones are constantly swallowing up other products like cameras, calculators, clocks, radios, and digital music players. There are twenty different products that previously might have been bought separately that can now be part of a mobile phone. Mobiles have changed the way people talk to one another, they have generated a new type of language, they have saved lives and become style icons.

§5. Obviously, the rich have been buying phones faster than the poor. But this happens with every innovation. Mobile phone take-up among the poor has actually been far quicker than it was in the case of previous products, such as colour television, computers and Internet access. Indeed, as mobile phones continue to become cheaper and more powerful, they might prove to be more successful in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor than expensive computers.

§6. There are obviously drawbacks to mobiles as well: mobile users are two and a half times more likely to develop cancer in areas of the brain adjacent to their phone ear, although researchers are unable to prove whether this has anything to do with the phone; mobile thefts now account for a third of all street robberies in London, and don't forget about all the accidents waiting to happen as people drive with a mobile in one hand. But, overall, mobile phones have proved to be a big benefit for people.

A36. The group with the highest number of people who own a mobile phone is

teenagers. people between 40 and 50. men.

A37. According to the opinion poll, women

spend less time on the phone than they used to. like to play with their mobile phones. spend more time on the phone than men.

A38. According to the text, mobile phones

are modified too fast. are incorporated into cameras. can now replace any other product.

A39. Among the poor, the demand for mobile phones

has created more of a gap with the rich. follows the pattern of some similar innovations. has grown faster than the demand for computers.

А42. But the poll reveals that, while men are using their phones a lot more, women are actually spending less time on the phone. (§3)

Но опрос показывает, что в то время как мужчины теперь пользуются телефоном намного больше, женщины, на самом деле, стали тратить меньше времени на телефонные разговоры. Но опрос позволяет сделать вывод о том, что, несмотря на то, что муж­чины гораздо больше пользуются телефоном, женщины по существу проводят меньше времени с телефоном. Однако, как видно из результатов опроса, пока мужчины гораздо дольше пользуются телефоном, женщины фактически проводят меньше времени у телефона.

Polly Vacher is no ordinary woman pilot. (A43)... Polly's 46,000 km record-breaking journey began in January. It ended only three days behind schedule when she landed her Piper Dakota at Birmingham in central England in May, five months later.

(A44)... This included storms and a cyclone in Fiji, a country in the South Pacific Ocean. Nor was the journey without incident for Polly, who only learned to fly at the age of forty-nine.

One of the trip's most frightening moments came, on the same route where Amelia Earhart, the American pilot, went missing when she was attempting to fly around the world in 1937. (A45) ... In fact, she allowed herself to be photographed as she stood beside a Banyan tree, which Amelia Earhart had planted in 1935, before setting off for the 16-hour section of her flight from Hawaii to California.

According to Polly all went well for the first part of her journey. Then suddenly it started to get very bumpy. Checking the outside air temperature Polly discovered it was zero degrees. To her horror she found streams of ice - cold rain running back along the wings and starting to freeze. (A46) ...

Though Polly immediately dropped her height to prevent the weight of ice pulling her plane into the ocean, there was more drama when the cabin suddenly went quiet. (A47) ... As a result the main tank had run dry an hour early, but fortunately the emergency tank went into action and she was able to land safely.

The lonely hours spent flying were a great contrast to the warm welcome she received wherever she landed. (A48) ... The publicity she attracted also raised money for a charity which provides flying scholarships for disabled people.

Up there in the sky you are completely free. Polly, however, was determined not to let what had happened in the past cause her anxiety. The delay was the result of uncooperative weather. In 2001 she flew to the ends of the Earth and into the record books by becoming the first woman to fly the smallest aircraft around the world via Australia and the Pacific.

This is the most dangerous kind of ice as it is difficult to see it forming. There was tremendous media interest and on one occasion she gave up to seven interviews in a single day. The moon and the stars disappeared and she was unable to see anything. Strong winds meant that she had used more fuel than expected.
