1．You probably know you should say"please"and"thank you"at restaurants．You probably know the rules of a library．You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates．（36）C In fact，there are some rules about playing music．
•Keep it down．
（37）D You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it．Some people might even get angry．Usually，when you play music loud on an MP3player，other people can't hear the words of the song．They just hear a loud sound．No one wants to listen to this．Very loud music can also be bad for your ears．
•Turn it off．
You need to know when to turn your MP3off and put it away．Libraries and schools don't allow MP3players．There are other places，like museums，that don't have rules，but it would be rude to have your MP3player on．Sometimes，it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3player at an event．（38）E You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came．
•Take one out．
Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other．（39）F It would not be rude to take out one earphone，tell him the way，and put back the earphone and continue listening．You can also do this when you order food at a fast food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you．
•（40）A There are times when you need to decide what is best．For example，some people can listen to music on their MP3players when reading books，while others think it is disturbing．In cases like this，you need to do what seems right for you．

A．It's your choice．
B．Don't make your voice disturb others．
C．But do you have music manners？
D．You have to notice the amount of sound of your music．
E．Why would you listen to music at a play，a movie or a sporting event？
F．Imagine you are listening on your MP3player when someone asks you the way．
G．The music is active and inspiring as long as you can feel energetic when you are listening to it．

20．Handwriting can make or break the first impression．If your handwriting is difficult for others to read，you will sometimes feel embarrassed．（71）C．It needs lots of practice to improve your handwriting．
（72）A．Try each of them out on a piece of paper by signing your name．Find out which type of pen you can write best with．You may be amazed at the change in your handwriting just by changing to another pen．
（73）B．Do not just do what feels comfortable because that is just your old bad habit coming back into play．Try to hold the pen lightly and don't press too hard．
Use your chosen pen to write Os on some pieces of lined paper．Write until you have filled up all the lines．Be careful with each O that you write．（74）E．Practice writing Os as much as possible．Remember：practice makes perfect．You may practice for weeks or months if you need to．（75）G．
As your handwriting shows signs of improvement，go ahead and keep on practicing by writing more words．

A．Gather different types of pens
B．Practice holding your pen in different ways．
C．However，a bad writing habit is hard to break．
D．Choose a type of pen with which you write best．
E．It won't help if you write a lot of careless Os on the paper．
F．Two to three months'practice is enough to get good handwriting．
G．After you are confident in your Os，do the same thing with your name．

19．There's no doubt that when it comes to friendship，you want positive people in your life and not negatives ones．（36）A
Support when you need it•
With positive friends，you don't need to beg for help when you need it because chances are they will be there for you without asking．（37）C
Health benefits of being positive．
The more positive friends you have，the better you will be at remaining optimistic yourself．（38）E For example，it helps people to deal with stress and illness better．Health benefits may include lower rates of depression，a greater ability to throw off colds，and a reduced risk of developing disease．
Bring out the best in you．
（39）F This means trying new things，achieving goals，and having the kind of life you dreamed of for yourself．With positive people in your life，you'11feel more comfortable sharing your goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life．
Attracting More Positive Friends
You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you．So if you're a downer，you'11probably find that negative people flock to you．（40）D The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude，the more likeminded people you'11attract in return．

A．In most cases，they will go out of their way to help you when you're in trouble．
B．The same is true for being positive．
C．Here are some benefits of spending time with positive friends．
D．That's why you'd better surround yourself with positive friends．
E．As we all know，there are many benefits of being optimistic．
F．Your positive friends will inspire you to be the best you can be．
G．Most of the time，you have to ask them to help you when in trouble．

18．Chronic disorganization （慢性失序症）occurs when one has a habit of being disorganized over a long period，which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business．One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isn't actually a disease or even an"official"disorder．It's the continued lack of organization in one's life．
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control．This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand，yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation．
One's personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists．Once the attitude of acceptance about being a"slob"is in someone's head，it's hard to remove．If someone tells himself that he is a slob，he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him．
One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members．Everybody becomes affected by this situation，especially those sharing living places with the one involved．
The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization （HSGCD） recommends that one get help through a professional organizer．The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions．There were varied reasons given for this problem of decision-making．Among them were fears and prioritizing issues．Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization．
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization，something most people experience at some point．Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce．Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career is likely to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside．However，one doesn't instantly have chronic disorganization．
"If you're going through hell，keep going．"That's an old saying that's true about one's struggles with chronic disorganization．Every person has the power to change within himself．It's a matter of staying organized，one day at a time．Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day．

Definition	◆It means that the person is （71）habitually disorganized in life and business over a long period．（72）Short of organization，one is likely to have the problem．
Recognizing the problem	◆One example is that an addict is（73）unable to organize the collection． ◆The existence of chronic disorganization is partly （74）affected/caused by one's personal attitude． ◆One doesn't （75）realize the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has bad effects on the relationships with friends and family members．
The findings of the study	◆All subjects in the study（76）suffer from the problem of poor decision-making，which is linked with chronic disorganization．Further research are still in（77）progress．
Warning（78）signs	◆People losing someone significant，going through a divorce or changes in one's life and career have a （79）tendency to ignore organization and order．
Good news	◆In（80）wrestling with chronic disorganization，every person has the power to change，at least one single day at a time．

14．Meet the magic folk
Throughout the ages and across the world，fairies（童话故事）have come alive in the stories，poems，and songs passed down from the old to the young．Some amazing stories about fairies have come to us from the British Isles．（56）A
Merrows are Irish fairy mermaids（美人鱼）．The females are very gentle and beautiful with fishes'tails．Merrows sometimes come onto land disguised（伪装）as small，white cattle or as beautiful women wearing bright red feather caps．（57）G
Leprechauns（矮妖）are fairies that appear as tiny old men．They like to be alone most of the time，making and mending shoes and keeping their pots of gold well hidden．If a human catches a leprechaun and asks for its gold，the leprechaun must hand it over．（58）C If the human looks away for even an instant，the leprechaun will joyfully disappear．
Brownies are hairy little men who do chores（杂事）in houses and on farms during the night．All they want as payment is food，and they get very angry if humans watch them do their work．If a brownie is given clothes as a present，he'll disappear forever．（59）F
Selkies are seal fairies．Female selkies sometimes come to shore and take off their sealskins to play on the beach in human form．Like merrows，if a human finds a selkie's sealskin，she can't go back to the ocean．（60）E If she finds her sealskin，she happily returns to the sea，leaving her human husband and children…but she comes close to shore to watch over them from time to time．

A．Here are some of these fairies．
B．Most sailors at sea hope never to see a merrow．
C．But it is far trickier（狡猾的）than it looks!
D．A selkie is quiet and lovely，with dark hair and sad eyes．
E．Instead，she must obey（服从）the human who keeps it and usually marries him．
F．Perhaps this is because he rushes back to show off his new clothes to the others．
G．If a human steals this cap，a merrow can't go back to the sea and must stay on land．

13．As a child grows up，you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult．（36）C A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others，but also learns to respect himself．
◆Show him respect．
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others．Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you，understanding how important this is in communication．
◆（37）A
The more you say"please"and"thank you"to your child，the more likely he will learn to use them．Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation．
◆Agree to disagree．
（38）G Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect"respectful"responses．Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience（不服从）．
◆Control your desire to overreact．
When a situation arises，stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior．（39）D
◆Praise，praise，praise!
So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishments are not celebrated enough．（40）F

A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses．
B．Respectful behavior is always accompanied by bad behavior as a child．
C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life．
D．If he sees you lose your temper，he is more likely to respond that way in future．
E．A child may act as he pleases，and he will live a happy life．
F．Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior，make sure he knows how proud you are of him．
G．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you．
