A

Most Americans believe there are unspoken rules about mobile phone etiquette(礼节). Checking emails, sending text messages and making telephone calls while in the company of others are surely bad mobile manners. Texting during a date is also unacceptable.

But most people questioned in an online survey said they would not be uncomfortable if they received an electronic(电子的) thank you, instead of a written one. And 75 percent totally accepted that people use laptops, netbooks and cell phones in the bathroom.

"Etiquette is first a question of awareness(意识)," said author and etiquette expert Anna Post. But she described the results of the Harris Interactive survey carried out by Intel as "pretty surprising statistics". Sixty-two percent of the 2,625 adults who took part in the survey agreed that cell phones, laptops, netbooks and other electronic devices are part of daily life. Fifty-five percent also thought the demands of business mean people must stay connected, even if it includes answering a cell phone during a meal or taking a laptop on a holiday.

But despite the need to be always connected and the general acceptance of the technology, people were more sensitive about technology use during holiday and religious activities. Nearly 90 percent of Americans think cell phone use is unacceptable during a religious service and 30 percent admitted they would be uncomfortable if they received an online gift wish. But more than half showed that they intended to send an electronic greeting card, instead of a paper one.

B. Cell phones are not part of most people's lives now.

C. Businessmen are not allowed to use cell phones at meals.

The best time of year to visit Florida is going to depend on exactly who you ask, but the general thought is that it is in one of three seasons: spring, fall and winter. Avoid a trip to the Sunshine State in the summer unless you like the idea 110 degree days with high humidity(湿度).

Travelling to Florida in the spring is nice, but it can be very warm and very humid by the beginning of March, depending on where in Florida you are travelling to. You can do research on sites like to follow trends(趋势) for the average and high temperatures of any given month of the year. Take a look at these temperatures and see what month of the year might be ideal(理想的) for your trip.

When planning a trip to Florida in the fall, the same travel conditions may exist as in the spring so it is not the chosen travel time for many. The fall also has the largest number of rainstorms in Florida, second to the spring rains. This, for some, is ideal, as the adventurer(冒险家) may catch a hurricane or two.

But for most, the perfect time of the year to visit Florida is in the winter, as this is when the rest of the country is suffering from the cold and Florida is enjoying some of the warmest weather in the United States. This is often when the largest number of travel deals are published as well. The population of Florida grows by nearly double in the winter time because of the number of travellers in addition to the "snow birds" who move down seasonally to avoid the cold northern temperatures.

41. People should avoid a trip to Florida in the summer because .

The banana is popular all over the world. Its three colours tell you how ripe(熟的) it is. Green means you should go and find another banana. Yellow means you can eat it. Brown means you can eat it but you don't need to use your teeth to break it up. A banana is neat to eat. When you bite into it, you don't have to

worry about the juice. And it's a silent food-you can eat it without driving your neighbours crazy with noisy sounds like eating apples or carrots. Finally, it's easy to cut-you don't have to use a knife.

You're never too young or too old to eat bananas. Babies eat mashed(捣碎的) bananas before their teeth come through. Great-great-grandparents eat mashed bananas after their teeth come out.

The banana is ready for cooking. You can fry it, bake it or mash it. At lunchtime, you can make a banana sandwich, or eat a bag of dried banana. You can add a banana to your ice cream for dessert and call it a banana boat.

Here in the US, we get most of our bananas from Ecuador and Costa Rica, although the fruit was reportedly born in Asia. Bananas are a kind of healthy fruit which contain lots of vitamins A and C.
