Most cell phone companies design models especially for kids. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones. According to a July 2012 study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone. According to a recent YouthBeat survey, 12 is the magic number. It is the most common age for kids to get their first cell phone. But 13% of children aged 6 to 10 already have one. The number goes up with age.
Procell phone people, including many parents, notice that cell phones help kids keep in touch with their friends and families. They believe that cell phones are an important tool in a dangerous situation. Kids can stay connected with their parents at all times, whether it's to ask for a ride home from soccer practice or to receive a text message moments before a big game. Plus, some cell phones designed for kids can be controlled with settings that allow the phone to only be used in parentapproved ways. What's the harm in that?
But other people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids' cell phones. They believe that kids with cell phones will spend less time playing outside or hanging out with friends, and that sending text messages or making phone calls while doing homework is bad for concentration. They say that kids are spending too much time texting instead of talking to each other. “Our brains developed to communicate face to face,” says Gary Small, a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine in California. “A lot of this is lost with texting.”
And some experts are also concerned about possible health risks. They worry that radiation—or energy waves—produced by cell phones could be harmful to young people. To be safe, parents should not let them talk long on the phone.

【回答】
9.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的倒数第三、四句可知,最近的这项调查表明许多孩子在12岁的时候开始拥有自己的第一部手机。
10.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的第一句可知,他们认为手机可以让孩子们和朋友、家人保持联系。因此可以推知,Procell phone people是指支持孩子们拥有手机的人们。
11.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知,他的观点表明使用手机会减少孩子们面对面的交流机会。
12.B 观点态度题。作者在第一段叙述小孩子拥有手机这种社会现象,第二段叙述了支持者的看法,第三段介绍了反对者的看法,最后一段提到专家的建议。由此可见,作者只是客观地叙述了人们的看法,并未表达自己的观点,故作者的态度是客观的。
