第七部分閱讀表達(共3小題;53題1分，54題2分，55題3分，滿分6分)
請認真閱讀下面短文，用英語回答短文后的問題，并將答案寫在橫線上。
Have you ever been irritated(激怒) by someone shouting at his mobile phone in a public place?
We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone.
Recently, Dr Adam Rutherford has been answering questions: “I have no interest in hearing about other people's private lives.” “The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations. I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public.”
Many people seem to do it without realizing why, but is there a scientific reason for their loudness?
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called “sidetone”—a feature whereby a caller could hear his own voice in the phone's speaker when talking.
This guarantees the user that they can be heard, leaving no reason to raise one's voice. But the problem with mobiles is that they are mobile, and a fixed volume of “sidetone” isn't always effective where background noise is very loud.
Plus, this is our natural tendency(傾向) to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us. We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear.
It is worth pointing out, however, that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners. When phones were firstly invented, they raised all kinds of questions. Should one have a phone conversation when undressed? Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone?
It seems mobile phones, then, are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues(禮儀問題).
53. When do we easily lose temper?
_______________________________________________________________
54. Where isn't the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?
_______________________________________________________________
55. Do you want to have a telephone called “sidetone”? Why or why not?
_______________________________________________________________
