Task 2

Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you?

Talking during a performance irritates(激怒) people .If you are expecting an

emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate(振动), When your mobile phone vibrates ,you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance .

Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places-especially enclosed spaces, Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think .Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. Eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table .This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you . Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.

Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal call until you are at home.

Task 3

Over a million people visit Hawaii (夏威夷) each year because of its beautiful weather and wonderful scenery (景色)! The Hawaiian islands have very mild temperatures. For example, August, the hottest month, averages 78.4 ℉, while February, the coldest month, averages 71.9 ℉. In addition, the rainfall in Hawaii is not very heavy because mountains on the northern side of each island stop incoming storms; for instance, Honolulu averages only 23 inches of rain per year. This beautiful weather helps tourists to enjoy Hawaii's wonderful natural scenery, from mountain waterfalls to fields of flowers and fruits. And Hawaii's beautiful beaches are everywhere --- from the lovely Mona coast beaches on the large island of Hawaii to Waikiki Beach on Oahu.
