Question

【题目】 What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about his problems he latest met. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time on buses or metros, in restaurants or supermarkets, nearly everywhere!

Many people find cell phones useful in their day-to-day lives. But all of us have ever sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of the noisy customers. You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules.

Off means off!

Respect the rules of restaurants and other public places. If a sign says "turn off cell phones," don't use your phone.

Keep private conversations private!

Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.

Lights off, phone off!

Never take calls in a theatre or at the movies.

Pay attention!

Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the street and talking on the phone.

As more and more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, consider the people around you.
