A stranger makes you jump as he shouts at his friend on the other side of the city. Mobile phones are everywhere and sometimes they can be very annoying. Although they are necessary in our life, it is common to hear people say something bad about mobile phones.Most public places have mobile phone rules. So try to keep your phone ring as low as possible or put it on vibrate mode（振动模式）. It is good to leave your phone at home when you would be at school or when visiting a hospital.If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting, at a restaurant or a theater, go to the washroom. If you are expecting a call, get a seat near the door. It is polite to tell others at the beginning that you are expecting an important call. When you get a call and you are with friends, keep the call short and speak quietly.A good way to make sure that people don‘t interrupt（打断）you and others is to tell your friends when it‘s a good time to call.根据短文内容，补全表格。
