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.

If you think you’re too shy in talks and want to be a little bit more confident, try the following. You can make it.

There’s no need to hide it. When people get to know you are a shy kid, they'll understand you better. This also helps you feel more at ease in talks, that means you'____be more relaxed. (16)

When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. (17)

If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep _____ (talk)(18) to that person?

Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time, worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not. (19)

Each time after you say "hi" or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself "I did it" !Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.

Never stop trying and one day you'll never be "shy '" when you talk to others.
