When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat．But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up．If the person who answers is not the
one you want，give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．
●Think about the time you call people．Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）．Also try not to call at mealtimes．
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions．Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone．It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop．Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call．Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite
．
●When in a restaurant with your friends，ke
ep phone conversations short．Make a call only if it is important．Practise speaking in a low voice．If no one looks your way, you’ve got it．
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other p
eople around you．Check that your phone is “off” before you enter．If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it．If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away．

Eat, drink and be merry. That’s what Spring Festival is all about. But there are millions of people, too, who love to let happiness go up in smoke.Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China, especially during festive occasions.No wonder, 40 percent of the people surveyed(调查) recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can’t the others do the same? Because they could be seen as being rude, said more than half in the respondents. 15 percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”.The Think-tank Research Centre for Health Development and sohu. com survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socialising, and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study surveyed 3,800 people, and 64 percent of them were men.One-third of those surveyed were smokers, out of which 57 percent said they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture. “People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends,” research centre director Wu Yiqun says.China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. “The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do,” Wu says. “It is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.”
