Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 37 to 41.
Dear Sunday Globe,
I am writing to you about your article in last Sunday's newspaper, “Cell Phones Make Life Easier”.
You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones: they're convenient, we feel safer
always being able to call someone; and they are very helpful in business. On the other hand, you didn't
talk about their bad points at all. I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone
etiquette.
The first point I'd like to address is when not to use your phone. It's polite to switch off your phone
or turn off the sound when you're in class or in a meeting. If you get an important call, you should ask
for permission to leave the room and then don't talk for too long. Furthermore, for conversations that
need more time, it is best to ask the person to call back at a more convenient time. Cell phones can also
cause you to neglect the people you are with. I find it really annoying when my friends constantly
check their messages on their phone. In fact, I want to tell them to turn off the cell phone and enjoy my
company!
Another point that needs to be made has to do with personal space. I think it is very impolite to
make calls in small spaces or crowded rooms. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to
listen to your personal conversations. Additionally, it disturbs other face-to-face conversations; that's
why I never use my cell phone within a few meters of other people except in emergencies.
Lastly, I would like readers to pay attention to the dangers of using your phone while doing
something else. For instance, driving and texting is a bad combination. Likewise, using your phone or
texting when walking can make you careless. You don't want to get hit by a car. Pay attention to where
you're going!
Sincerely,
Amber Jala

B. She wanted to talk about the good points of cell phones.
C. She noticed some bad points of cell phones and wanted to give advice.
D. She disagreed with the Sunday Globe about the good points of the cell phone.
Question 38: Which advice is NOT INCLUDED in Amber's first point?
A. Get an important call right away in the classroom.
B. Tell them call back at a more convenient time.
C. Keep your call as short as possible.
D. Keep your cell phone silent in class or turn it off.
Question 39: What does the pronoun “This” refer to _______ in paragraph 2?
A. Talking loudly on the phone.
B. A face-to-face conversation
C. Making a call in crowded small places.
D. When other people hear your call.
