We spoke to three students from around the world about different national holidays. There are different customs (习俗) for each festival.

Tan Xiaodong, 15, Hong Kong, China

“It'll soon be Chinese New Year. Before it, we'll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we'll go out a lot to celebrate in the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival.”

Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia

“Australia Day is on 26th January and it's an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there's lots of music and dancing. What fun!”

Amy, 14, New York, USA

“The first Thanksgiving Day was hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It's still a very important day for families to be together. This year we're going to visit my grandparents and we'll eat a delicious meal of turkey. Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November every year.”

A new term has begun. Teachers are ______ about the fact that new students are not easy to handle (对待). They like to bring cellphones and MP3 players to school. What is ______, some students even use cellphones to do with out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some other students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.

Are these new students really that ______? ‘Yes,’ says Delaney Kirk, a professor at Drake University. ______ she adds it’s not their fault. Instead, the things that they bring into school --- cellphones, MP3 players and so on --- and the teachers are to blame(责备). Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. ‘I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well ______ nothing to do with them,’ she says. ‘At first, I got worried about this, but then I said to myself, “You’re teaching ______, and you need to manage this … These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good _____. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they might regret(后悔) the time they have wasted.”’

Kirk also ______ a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes. The following are among her suggestions:

Tell students how they will benefit(获益) by taking the class. On the first day of class, emphasize(强调)its importance ______ giving some homework that students must turn in next time.
