Mobile Phone Manners
Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate (交流) ; they have also brought about problems in phone manners (礼仪) . Gaik Lim, a Singapore-based advisor, has some advice on hone manners.
When dealing with missed calls, the person being called should return the call. "Calls should be returned as soon as possible, and no later than the following day. Anything later than that, and an apology or a reason for the delay should go with the call. "
Text messages should be kept short and to the point. If they go beyond four or five lines, call or e-mail instead. "The use of short forms should be among family members and friends, never in a business situation. "
Speak in a low voice as if you were talking to someone next to you. If the connection is bad, don"t raise your voice in order to be heard , simply move to another place where the connection may be better. And if that doesn"t work, tell the caller to call you back or offer to call at a later time.
When a conversation is cut off due to a bad connection, the person who started the conversa-tion should call back. "It may be inconvenient for the other person to return the call, especially if it"s an unlisted number, or an overseas call. "
When running late for a date or meeting, it is acceptable to text to inform. that you"ll be de- layed. Messages should be apologetic. "A message like " Sorry. Will be about 30 minutes late due to flight delay " is considered polite and thoughtful. "
Taking calls during meetings is only acceptable if you have informed the chairperson that you are expecting an urgent (紧急的) call. If you get an unexpected but urgent call, apologize to those present and offer a quick explanation as to why you have to take that call. Then leave the room to continue your phone conversation.
60. What should one do if he has missed a call?
[A]Text an apology to the caller.
[B] Call back if it is from abroad.
[C] Wait till the caller calls again.
[D] Return the call as early as one can.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:D
参考译文-Text2.手机礼仪手机已经改变了我们的交流方式;它也带来了手机礼仪方面的问题。新加坡咨询顾问GaikLim提出一些关于手机礼仪的建议。对于没有及时接听的电话,应及时打回去。“要在当天及时给他人!:回电话。当天没有打回去的话,那么回电话的时候要道歉。”短信应简短、切中主题。如果短信超出四至五行,那么最好使用电话或是邮件方式联系。“简写只能用在家庭成员和朋友间,千万不要用于商业交往。”打电话时,假如旁边有人,声音要低。如果信号不好,不要为了让对方听清而提高嗓门,换个信号好的地方就可以了。如果信号仍然不好,让对方打过来或者告诉他晚些时候再打给他。如果由于信号不好,电话掉线了,发起通话的人应该再打过去。“他可能不方便打回来,特别是当对方可能没有存号码或电话是国际长途时。”约会或会议要迟到时,比较好的做法是发短信告知对方自己可能迟到。短信应含有致歉的意思。“像‘对不起,由于飞机晚点,我可能迟到约半小时’这样的短信,是礼貌周到的。”会议上,只有在事先通知主持人有可能有紧急电话要处理的情况下,接电话才是适宜的。如果有未预料到的紧急电话,应向与会人员道歉,并给出你不得不接电话的理由。然后再离开会议室到外面去通话。60.D【精析】细节题。题干意为“在错过电话后,应当做什么?”根据文章第二段GaikLim的建议中有“a8soonaspossible”字样,不难得出应该尽快回电话。故选D。
