Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
School exams are, generally speaking, the first kind of tests we take. They how much knowledge we have gained. But do they really show how intelligent we are? After all, isn’t it a fact that some people who are very successful academically don’t have any common sense? Intelligence is the speed at which we can understand and react new situations and it is usually tested by logic puzzles. scientists are now preparing advanced computer technology that will be able to “read” our brains, for the present tests are still the most popular ways of measuring intelligence.
A person’s IQ is their intelligence as it is measured by a special test. The most common IQ tests are run by Mensa, an organization was founded in England in 1946. By 1976, it 1300 members in Britain. Today, there are 44000 in Britain and 100000 worldwide, largely in the US. People taking the tests are judged in relation to an average score of 100, and those who score over 148 are entitled to join Mensa. This works out at 2% of the population. Anyone from the age of six can take the tests. All the questions are and most people can answer them if allowed enough time. But that’s the problem – the whole point of the tests is that they’re against the clock.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the brain cells were seen by modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
What is the passage mainly about?
Cellphones are especially popular with young people because _____.
The man mentioned in the passage, who used his cell phone too often, ______.
What makes mobile phones potentially harmful is _____.
What do mobile phone companies argue about radiation?
