The mobile phone has been a part of our lives since the 1980s. It enables us to stay in contact with our family and friends at all times and in most areas. However, because of the quick acceptance and extensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on an important step, namely, the appropriate (恰当的)use.
Driving a car
Do not use your phone while you are driving ! You could concentrate on your conversation and forget to look where you are going, or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone’s display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident.
In a restaurant
There is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant. The icy glares you receive should be warning enough that it is not appreciated. Turn you phone off and enough that it is not appreciated. Turn you phone off and use your message service to return calls after you leave.
At the cinema
Do not give way to the desire to call a friend if the film is boring, or if you want to find out what happens. You could bee the target of all the angry cinema customers.
At the theatre
There is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone. It goes without saying that you will be seen as a socially unacceptable person in this situation.
In hospitals
This is probably the most important place to make sure your phone is switched off. Your phone can disturb life-saving electronic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter.
On planes
Your phone might disturb navigational equipment and cause a horrible accident so you should switch it off before boarding a plane.

【小题4】C
解析：
【小题1】本题考查理解文章细节的能力。从In a restaurant 中的“There is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant.”可知最佳答案为B项。
【小题2】本题考查根据文章相关信息进行正误判断的能力。从At the theatre中的“There is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone.”可知A项表述与此不相符, 故A项符合题干要求。从In hospitals 中的“Your phone can disturb life-saving electronic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter. ”可知B项表述正确；从 On planes 中的“…so you should switch it off before boarding a plane. ”可知C项表述正确；从 Driving a car 中的“…or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone’s display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident. ”可知C项表述正确；
【小题3】本题考查归纳主旨大意的能力。第一段中的句子“However, because of the quick acceptance and extensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on an important step, namely, the appropriate (恰当的)use.” 指出本文的主旨，然后再分别介绍在不同场合使用手机的礼仪。其他选项都是文章的细节而不是主题。
【小题4】本题考查根据文中细节猜测短语含义的能力。根据“concentrate on” 后面句子的意思：忘记看看你正往何处去，或者您可能把目光移开看手机或按键盘，由此可以推测的意思为“集中精力于；专心于”。故C项为最佳答案。
