It's very nice ________ you to say so.

[　　]

You probably know you should say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep it down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take one out! Sometimes it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s your choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
【小題1】The underlined word ‘volume’ in paragraph two probably means _____.

　　An American writer once said, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. ” It's true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people begin their talks by saying, “Isn't it a nice 1 ?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it looks like rain. ”

　　Many people think they can tell 2 the weather is going to be like. But they 3 ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the sky? It's going to rain tomorrow. ” Another man will say, “Yes, it's cloudy in the sky. We are going to have fine weather. ”

　　People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain and he won't believe 4 else. When friends have a picnic, they are so 5 the weather is going to be fine very 6 that they sit eating their lunch while it is raining.

　　Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman said on the radio or on TV. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still he is 7 most of the time.

　　Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe(賄賂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.

　　Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland－won't go wrong, except to government employees(政府職員) who can't be given presents.

　　You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say “It's so nice. Thanks…” when you get Christmas or birthday presents.

　　You may want to bring a bottle of wine(葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.

　　At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year－doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders－anyone who has often helped us.
