Dear Sir,

I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel.

My wife and I  1 on Saturday, 15^th, May and stayed   2 a week. Though we were treated __3 and found the service(服务) excellent, we  4 there are one or two matters we   5 bring your attention.

First, we had hoped for a nice  6 from our busy work lives, and your ad   7  "Comfortable and qui­et". We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. How­ever,  we were  8 to find that repairs are sometimes needed,  but is it  9 necessary to start early in the morning?

Big schoolbags have been a big problem for students for a long time. Maybe your schoolbag is too   1   to carry, and it troubles you a lot   2  you want to find out a book to read. Now e-textbooks will   3  you.

It is said that many Chinese middle schools are going to use e-textbooks. An e-textbook, in fact, is a small   4  for students. It is much   5  than a usual schoolbag and easy to carry. Though it is as small as a book, it can   6  everything for study. The students can read the text page by page on the   7  ，take notes   8  the pointer (屏写笔)，or even “hand in” their   9      to their teachers by sending e-mails. All they have to do is to press a button (按开关).

Some people say e-textbooks are good, but some say they may be   10  for the students’ eyes. What do you think of it?

A new term has begun. Teachers are __36__ about the fact that new students are not easy to handle. They like to bring cellphones and MP3 players to school. What is __37__, 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 __38__? ‘Yes,’ says Delaney Kirk, a professor at Drake University. __39__ 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. 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 __40__ nothing to do with them,’ she says. ‘At first, I got worried about this, but then I said to myself, “You’re teaching __41__, and you need to manage this … These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good __42__. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they might regret the time they have wasted.”’

Kirk also __43__ a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes. The following are among her suggestions:

l     Tell students how they will benefit by taking the class. On the first day of class, emphasize its importance __44__ giving some homework that students must turn in next time.

l     Do not allow them to bring cellphones and MP3 players to the class at all.

l     Decide __45__ formal and informal the class will be.

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I  1 . I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father  2 ,too.” But what about the other days of the year?

I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We had a nice conversation . Then she wanted to  3 . So she dialed(拨号)the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen  4 , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom.”

Later I asked."  5  did you dial the number twice?” She smiled. “My parents are old and  6  . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them   7 time to answer the call.”

My friend is a good girl. She is  8  thinking about her parents. You also want to be a   9 child. Right? Please always remember to  10 your parents in every situation, not just on some important days.
