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 your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.

??? Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player 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. 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 OK just to take out one earphone 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.

It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了在聽音樂方面的禮儀。像注意你音樂的音量，它過高會影響他人；在圖書館等地方不允許聽MP3,指路時拿出一個耳塞更有禮貌等等。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this描述，沒有人想聽大聲的音樂。故選A.

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high，大聲的音樂對耳朵不好，所以即使單獨一人也不能把聲音調(diào)的太高，故選D。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段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.描述可知，在觀看表演時聽音樂會錯過正在表演的內(nèi)容，別人也會疑惑你為何而來。故選D。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)It would not be rude? to take out one earphone, tell him the way,可知在給別人指路時，摘掉一個耳塞是好的。故選A。

5.歸納理解題。根據(jù)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.可知在圖書館，學(xué)校，博物館是不適合聽MP3的，故選C。
