When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.
●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning(before about 9:00)or too late at night(after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.
●When in a restaurant with your friends,keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice.If no one looks your way, you’ve got it.
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you.Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.

Musical for the new era
Some of the world’s most famous movies, like The Sound of Music(《音乐之声》)and Singin’ in the Rain(《雨中曲》), are musicals. These are both very old movies, though. It seemed as if musicals had gone out of fashion.
But La La Land, a new musical by US director Damien Chazelle, 32, had made the genre(类型) popular again. “Brilliantly written and directed, La La Land gives movie musicals life in the 21st century,” Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone.
Starring US actor Ryan Gosling, 36, and actress Emma Stone, 28, the movie was released in Chinese mainland on Feb14. Set in the colorful world of Hollywood’s film and music scene, the two characters-a jazz musician and an actress-sing and dance their way to love.
It has made history as the first film to win seven Golden Globe(金球奖) awards. It has also been nominated(提名) for a record-equaling 14 Oscars.
Other popular movies of today are often about violence(暴力),war, drugs(毒品) or politics. Thanks to Chazelle’s creative style, original music and wonderful location(地点), La La Land has a light feel that will put you in a good mood.
The opening scene, when hundreds of people in a traffic jam start singing , “will be studied and swooned(着迷) over for years to come,” according to Travers. “The very fact that it doesn’t have a strong political message, but is still good enough to win awards, is what makes La La Land so unusual,” Nicholas Barber, wrote for the BBC. “It is intimate(亲切的) and personal and magical.”
1.What does Peter Travers think of La La Land?
A. It is better than The Sound of Music.
B. Its genre is out of fashion.
C. It is not a good story.
D. It makes musicals popular again.
2.Which of the following is NOT true about La La Land?
A. It was directed by a 32-year-old US director.
B. It starred US actor Ryan Gosling and actress Emma Stone.
C. It’s a love story about a jazz musician and an actress.
D. It has won seven Golden Globe and 14 Oscars.
3.La La Land contains_______.
A. original music B. war scenes
C. violent scenes D. a strong political message
4.According to Nicholas Barber, La La Land ________.
A. is a very good movie B. has an impressive opening scene
