We have long been told that using mobile phones on airplanes could be dangerous. “It could interfere (扰乱) with the plane’s communication network,” flight staff might say.
What they really mean could be: “If you don’t put your phone away then you alone will be responsible for crashing this plane.”
Well, as it turns out, this might not be true after all.
New guidelines, sent out last month by The European Aviation (航空) Safety Agency, said that electronic devices (设备) do not cause a safety risk during flights. It means that iPod lovers and mobile phone chatterboxes (话痨) can enjoy their devices on planes, as long as the airlines choose to allow them.
It is not only Europe that has made a U-turn on the rule. Earlier this year, some US and Canadian airlines lifted their restrictions but said that all devices must be kept in “airplane mode”.
But the issue is still being hotly debated.
There have been many studies into the safety of electronic devices on flights and the results are often different. One study in 2003 found that the electromagnetic (电磁的) radio transmitters (发送器) in some personal devices could affect the basic functions of the cockpit, such as GPS (global position system), which ensure safe landings. However, the report also said that there is no evidence of this being the cause of an accident so far.
Some will be happy with the new rules. They will look forward to proper arrival times and no more waiting around at airports. They will also look forward to no more missed calls, piles of text messages, or wondering what’s happened.
Others won’t be so happy. If you happen to be seated next to a chatterbox, say goodbye to sleep and hello to boring “I’m on a plane” conversations.
But you don’t need to worry so soon.
Unless you have a satellite phone, there’s no signal at 33,000ft (10 km). Since calls can be made through Wi-Fi, airlines will have to install(安装）Wi-Fi so that passengers can start sending texts and making calls.
And until they do so, flights remain one of the only safe places to hide from the world of endless e-mails and phone calls.
34.Which of the following statements is true based on the article ?
A.So far, no airline has said yes to using electronic devices on flight.
B. There are various conclusions about the studies on the security of electronic devices on flight.
C. Canada has permitted using electronic devices on flight.
D.You’ll always find flights a wonderful hiding place from a world of endless e-mails and phone calls.
35. Why does the author say “But you don’t need to worry so soon”?
A. Because satellite phones will be available in the near future.
B. Because airlines have not yet been able to install Wi-Fi in the high sky.
C. Because people cannot make calls via their electronic devices in the sky without signals.
D. Because there will soon be a settled conclusion on whether using electronic devices aboard is safe or not.
