Does Mobile Phone Usage Increase the Risk of Traffic Accidents?
by Donald Statham, Susie Smith, Elliot Penderghast, and Felicia Jones

Note: This study is part of a wider investigation conducted by Norton College psychologists. The results of this wider investigation were published in the November 2001 issue of Psychosocial Behavior Today.

The use of mobile phones has risen dramatically over the past five years. As of July 1, 2001, more than 112 million people subscribe to mobile phone service in the United States alone. The increase in the number of mobile phone subscribers has mirrored the rise in the number of roadway accidents caused by drivers talking on mobile phones. Estimates suggest that mobile phone users spend as much as 60% of their total talk time while on the road.
The complete effects of mobile phone use on roadway safety are unknown, but state legislatures have made several attempts to restrict mobile phone use on the road. In these instances, the legislation assumes that any interference to safety from mobile phones use is due to secondary factors, such as dialing, or holding the phone while speaking. We conducted our research in an attempt to evaluate the validity of this assumption.
Existing research demonstrates the handling of equipment, such as dialing the phone, answering the phone, etc., increases the risk of accident. However, this research does not elaborate on the effects that mobile phone conversation has on driving. One study finds that conversation does not hinder the ability to maintain road position or to respond quickly to hazards. Prior studies have discovered that tasks like mental arithmetic, memory tasks, and reasoning tasks produce negative effects on simulated driving.

What is the purpose of this student essay?
The Monster from Frankenstein
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a story about Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who creates a monster from body parts and a mysterious spark. Frankenstein is horrified by his creation and abandons the monster. The monster also finds it difficult to deal with how he looks and how people react to him. In addition, the monster feels abandoned by his creator. Over the course of the story, the monster shows numerous good and bad qualities, which proves that he is a complicated being.
The monster has several good qualities. Since he possesses the mind of a child, he displays a natural kindheartedness. The monster has a human side, but nobody notices it. When he feels lonely, he asks Victor Frankenstein to create a companion. This request shows that the monster has normal human feelings and desires. Moreover, at one point in the story, he tries to save a young girl’s life, which shows that he sees value in human life.
The monster also has several negative qualities. For one thing, he flies into a murderous rage whenever he is frustrated. He also commits murder to punish Frankenstein. The monster gives into his desire for revenge after Frankenstein destroys his companion. The monster is unable to control his urges to punish Frankenstein for this action.
Thus, Frankenstein is a complicated creature. The monster’s actions show readers that he has the capacity to follow the rules of society. Yet he is also capable of pushing the rules aside and giving into his dark side. In this sense, the monster is not that different from Frankenstein himself.
A. The essay’s purpose is to describe to the audience the different sides of Victor Frankenstein and his monster.
B. The essay’s purpose is to inform the audience of the good and bad characteristics of the monster.
C. The essay’s purpose is to persuade the audience that Frankenstein is the real monster for abandoning his creation.
D. The essay’s purpose is to entertain the audience with the gripping tale of the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein.

Divide the text into paragraphs.

The poisoning of the world's land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilization. It is potentially one of history's greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable. Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction'. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas. Air poluttion is a very serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the air is life threatening - equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. The same holds true for Mexico City. Industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substances. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains. An even greater environmental threat is nuclear power stations. People are beginning to realise that environmental problems are not somebody else's. They join and support various international organizations and green parties.
