A new term has begun. Teachers are1about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones2out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some3students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that4? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor(教授) at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault.5, the teachers should be blamed(责备). Mrs 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 had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to6, “You’re giving lessons, and you need to manage this kind of situation. These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good7. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they8.”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage(驾驭) their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益)by taking the class and the importance9listening carefully in class.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones or MP3 players to the class at all.
Tell them10to use cell phones or MP3 players properly(适当地)..

My life is always full of sadness and little joy. However, no matter(无论) what happens, I can always face it bravely.
Last year, I couldn’t believe the1that I could enter the only key high school in my hometown. Then I rushed to my home and told my parents. But my father didn’t seem as2as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help3.
I knew very well what my family was 4___ . My mum had been ill in bed for4years. We lived a hard life and I couldn’t continue my schooling. I felt so upset(心烦意乱) but I could say5to my parents. I decided to help my father with his work6my family.
To my surprise, things completely changed7the beginning of the new term. My head teacher came to my family with some money, which was8by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have a dream.” With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school.
I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. No matter when I meet difficulties, I always9my teacher and schoolmates. I have a college dream and I must work hard for it, no matter how10life is. Just as a great man says, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.”

“Happy Birthday!” David awoke to the voice of his mother. “It’s time to get up and drive out to1 grandfather’s farm.”  
“Why do we have to go there? And how long is the drive?” he asked with a sad look in his eyes.
“About two hours…and don’t worry, we’ ll bring your birthday 2 with us.” His mother walked away and left him to get ready. 
In less than an hour, David and his parents were on their way. 3 of what the colorful birthday packages had inside filled his head. He was 4 that one had the baseball glove he wanted, while others would have amazing things that he had dreamed about. Thinking of his grandfather, David 5 what his birthday present from him might be. 
“Since my grandfather has a large farm, he must have a lot of money, and the bigger his present for me will be,” David said to himself.
Finally they 6. Hugging his grandfather, David excitedly shouted, “I’ve missed you! You know, today’s my birthday. Did you get me a present?”
“I have missed you, too. And I have a very 7 present for you.”
Placing a small box in David’s hand, he quietly said, “This is a very important gift. I hope you will treasure it as 8 as I have.”  
David looked at the small box, thinking money or jewels might be inside…. When he opened the box, David was 9 to see only a stone. It was a very beautiful stone, but was it valuable?
Grandfather spoke more slowly than before, “David, when your grandma and I were first married, we had very little money. She wanted to give me something special for my birthday, so she found this beautiful rock and polished(打磨)it day and night 10 it shined. It was the greatest gift I ever 11 because it came from your grandma’s heart. Now, I want you to have it because it comes from my heart.” 
David held the stone in his hand and 12 the love of his grandfather. “This is a wonderful gift…thank you, Grandfather.” He knew he had received the best gift ever.

I heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important achievements.
What made him1from others?
He said it all came from2that happened when he was two years old. He tried to3
a bottle of milk away from the fridge, but the slippery(光滑的) bottle fell, spilling its milk all over the4floor.
When his mother came in,5shouting at him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(一团糟) you have made! I have never seen such a big puddle(水坑) of milk. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes6we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, when you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last. So,7would you like to do that? We would use a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the towel and together they cleaned up the milk.
His mother then said, “We had a failed8in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands in the kitchen. Let’s go out and fill the bottle with water and see if you can9a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(杯口) with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I1your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a2from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very3. Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop4, so there was a ladder. Grandmother5me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart6for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder7it was all right. Your grandmother came in and8!”
“Then I broke a small9in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave10grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She11it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I12to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse13they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider” or the same will happen. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. A(n)14umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is15a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid. ”
