短文屬于說明文。介紹了不同國家慶祝情人節(jié)的方式。
小題1:holiday是celebrate動作的承受者，因此使用被動語態(tài)。
小題2:前句意思是“每個國家的慶祝方式不同”，后句意思是“風俗習慣不同”。后面表示原因，因此使用because。
小題3:在某一天前，介詞使用on。
小題4:anyone是先行詞，后面是定語從句修飾它，挖空部分指人，且做從句的主語，因此使用who做關(guān)系代詞，。
小題5:前面談到美國，后面談到日本；再根據(jù)后面的too，可以確定是并列關(guān)系，用連詞and連接兩個并排的事情。
小題6:前面已經(jīng)提到一種禮物Chocolate，這里提到其他的禮物，可加副詞“也”，用在be動詞和實意動詞之間，選擇also。
小題7:這里談到美國和日本在送禮物時的區(qū)別，因此用difference；與后面is保持一致，用單數(shù)形式。
小題8:此處的give做only girls and women的謂語，表示一般情況，使用一般現(xiàn)在時，因此使用動詞原形。
小題9:此處代替boys and girls，修飾friends，因此使用物主代詞their。
小題10:從最后一句可知：喜歡在美國當女人；由此可推測：在美國女人得到的禮物比男人的貴。根據(jù)than可知，本句使用比較級。expensive 前面加more構(gòu)成比較級。

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 _____.
A．the type of music
B．the amount of a sound
C．the length of a song
D．the colour of an MP3 player
小題2:We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music _____.
A．is not enjoyableB．makes us tired
C．is bad for MP3 playersD．hurts our ears
小題3:We can take one earphone out when we _____.
A．show others the way
B．talk to fiends on the phone
C．watch a sporting event
D．have dinner with our parents
小題4:It’s all right to use our MP3 player in _____.
A．schoolsB．libraries
C．restaurantsD．museums
小題5:What can be the best title of this passage?
A．Music Lovers.B．Music Manners.
