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. Not one
wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your cars, so even if you are alone when listening
to our 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 is would
be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn"t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? your would miss what is going on and
others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once is a while it"s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are
listening 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 read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this,
you need to do what seems right for you.
B. the amount of a sound

D. the colour of and MP3 player

| How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash (现金), or do you like to pay by credit card (信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should. Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers (顾客). Unlike today"s credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the Store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn"t pay for something a little at a time. In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company - Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn"t have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card. In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards, The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries. |
