People should be warned against using mobile phones outdoors in stormy weather because they may “be struck by lightning”, according to doctors.
Three experts have described how a teenage girl was struck by lightning while using her phone in a large London park. The girl, aged 15, recovered, but a year later, was still wheelchair-bound and found to be suffering complex physical and emotional problems.
The girl also had a perforate eardrum（打孔耳膜）on the side where she had been holding the mobile phone. She was having general recovery in Northwick Park Hospital, Middlesex.Swinda Esprit, a senior house officer, said that while the brain and muscle damage was similar to that of many lightning victims—who can experience heart attacks on being struck— the ear problems were not.
She said that the damages were particularly relevant for people who might be involved in less serious lightning incidents, who might otherwise recover, but would never get their full hearing back if struck while on the phone.
“We were shocked by the damage, which is why we wanted to draw attention to it,” Dr Esprit said. “A year on and she still was suffering these difficult hearing.”
They added that three other cases had been reported in newspapers in China, South Korea, and Malaysia. In the Malaysian case, a sales executive was killed by lightning while talking on his phone during a thunderstorm near Kuala Lumpur
“All these events resulted in death,” the doctors wrote. “This rare phenomenon is a public health issue, and education is necessary to stress the risk.”
The Australian Lightning Protection Standard recommends that metallic objects, including cordless or mobile phones, should not be carried outdoors during thunderstorms. However, “the United States National Weather Service says on its website that both are safe to use “because there is no direct path between you and the lightening”.
Paul Taylor, of “the Met Office”, said the ear injuries were a consequence of mobile phones being metal, and not related to radio waves.
Mr. Taylor said that mobile phones should be treated as another piece of metal, similar to carrying coins or wearing rings, and people need to be warned against the possible danger.
【小題1】What do we know about the teenage girl?
| A．She was struck by lightning at school. |

| When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job of your choice. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. What to avoid during your job search | ||||||||
