important meeting it is! A .How an B. How a C. What a D. What an——青夏教育精英家教网—

　　Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don’t really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to ‘edit your friends’?

　　Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends．As our lives get busier it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us．

　　Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions(物品)．It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．

　　What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend．Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think, ‘Do I really want to see this person?’ and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse．That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends．

Most people have a cellphone(手机). When you are walking on a busy street, you will see many people speaking on their phones. Many people say they can’t imagine how they live without a cellphone.
Cellphones play an important role in our daily life, such as keeping in touch with others, calling home or the police if there is any emergency. Although cellphones can help us a lot, we must think of others when we use them. Unfortunately, some people do not consider others when using their cellphones. For example, some cellphone users speak too loudly and discuss personal matters in public places. Some people make phone calls in the cinema. Some people talk for a long time on the phone while they are driving on the busy road. Someone’s cellphone will ring during an important meeting. Many people complain about these bad manners. In their opinion, cellphone users shouldn’t disturb others when they make a call.
Then how to use a cellphone politely in public? The following rules will help you. When you’re in a meeting, watching a movie or having a lesson, you’d better turn off your cellphone. When you get a call and you’re with friends, try to make the call as short as you can. If you are waiting for an important call, then make sure that you tell others about this at the beginning of a meeting. It’s rude to scream(尖叫声) or shout on the phone. Make sure you will be heard only by the caller but not by the others around you. Besides, if possible, find a quiet place where you can talk in private.
