Question

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?

Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.

Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.

Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone（耳機）and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.

【解析】

試題解析：本文大意：可能你知道在飯店應該說“你好”和“謝謝”，知道圖書館的規(guī)定，知道對同學尊重友好，但你知道音樂禮節(jié)嗎？控制音量：必須注意音樂的音量，不應該讓你周圍的人聽到你的音樂，因為太大聲有的人會不高興，而且音樂聲音太大對耳朵也不好，所以就算你獨自一人聽mp3，也不應該把音量調(diào)的太高。關掉：你需要知道什么時候關掉mp3和收起來，圖書館和學校不允許放mp3，其它地方，像博物館，沒有規(guī)定，但播放mp3會不禮貌。拿出一個：拿掉一個耳機另一個不拿就可以了，假設有人問路時你在聽mp3，你拿掉一個指路，然后帶上耳機繼續(xù)聽，不會不禮貌，在快餐店點餐或接電話時這么做也可以。
