When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone, which makes me unusual. Anyway, the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1

The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not appear, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2

The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life.” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Odey and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to save her.

Point 3

The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing amnager of Haha Dcutsch. Card Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4

The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says. “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near — but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5

The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers at the same time on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line connected to the computer, we can access (存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

The relationship between students and teachers is very important.Why is getting along with teachers important? Every day, we spend more hours with our teachers at school than with our parents at home.We learn many things from them and they teach us to be good people.

In China, many students think that teachers care mainly about our studies and school lives.We believe that they know everything, especially about the subjects they teach.They also have the right to decide who should be the new class leaders, give a speech or take part in some important activities.

Many students want to be the teacher's “pet”.Just like a pet to its owner, we show great respect to our teachers, For example, in class we follow the rules and keep quiet unless the teacher asks us to speak.We seldom argue with our teachers and believe everything teachers say.When they make a mistake, we seldom point it out.Some of us even wouldn't like to contact(接触)teachers after class, because we don't want to bother them.

However at American schools.teachers and students are more like friends.In class, students express their opinions freely and challenge teachers when they don't agree.If a teacher makes a mistake, the teacher will say sorry in front of the whole class.They talk about studies and life experiences.

In my opinion, it's good to show respect for our dear teachers in China, but we'd better think more about how to build a better relationship with teachers.

阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。

Going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different people. Everything you do will leave a deep impression (印象)on others. So manners are very important.

Getting to a place late for a date may mean: This isn’t that important to me. Ringing someone up while talking to your friend may mean: The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me. Not showing thanks to a gift giver may mean: “I don't like the gift.”

Is that the message you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you’re impolite.

How can you change that? First, you should know the proper ways to behave in front of people. We call this manners. Manners are about being honest, respectful (尊重的) and considerate (考虑周到的) .
