【推荐1】Many people wake up in the morning and watch their mobile phones first and then they watch their mobile phones last before they go to bed. Our mobile phones are never far away from us. Data show that we watch them every 12 minutes on average. Since we are bound to be inseparable from mobile phones, we should obey the relative “cell phone manners”. The following five things are best avoided.

●   Talk on the phone at mealtimes

An absolute no-no for most (81%) of us. Yet half of us have been with others who've done it. And more than a quarter of young adults admit to it.

Even looking at the screen at the dinner table is not acceptable — for some. More than four in five people aged 55and over think it's unacceptable to check messages, compared with around half (46%) of 18 to 34-year-olds.

●   Listen to loud music on public transport

Three-quarters (76%) of us object to watching videos and playing video games loudly on public transport, as well as listening to music, but it doesn't stop us doing it.

●   Be on the phone when you should be listening

You’re at the cashiers but on the phone mid-conversation. Do you hang up, say a polite “hello” and pack away your bread and goods — or chat on regardless?

It's a source of frustration for many a shop worker, receptionist and waiter. One hotels checkout worker was so annoyed when a customer refused to end her call that she refused to serve her.

●   Walk while looking at your phone

They are always getting their head down, eyes fixed on the screen — and they're right in your path. Twitter user @tiredhorizon has a public warning for them. Put away your phones in public buildings, hospitals and near reversing lorries.

●   Play with devices while watching TV with others

Four 10 (41%) adults think is unacceptable to use a phone while seated with he family on the sofa in front of TV.

For the older generation (those over 55) it's more of an issue — 62% object to it — than for younger adults — only one in five are against it.

1. Which one of the following is unacceptable according to the text?

A．Play with cellphones while watching TV alone.	B．Talk on the phone at mealtimes.
C．Listen to loud music at home.	D．Talk with others while working

2. Which one of the following is NOT true?

B．Watching videos and playing games loudly on the subway will annoy many people around.

Over 80% people go to work by car.

25% car journeys are under two miles.

Instead of using the car for short journeys，why not walk or ride a bicycle？ Walking is a most popular form of exercise—it's healthy and it can save you money. If you work nearby， try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience.

BUSES

Bus companies are using new buses：some run on new fuels which produce less pollution；some have easier access for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes（行车道）to make bus journeys easier and more reliable. So do something to help solve the pollution problem let the bus take you to work and your children to school.

TRAINS

All car journeys，long or short，can be hard work. For some trips it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk，cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast，safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive；some are quite cheap at discount.
