A new term has begun．Teachers are   1   about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with．They like to bring cellphones and MP3 players to school．What is   2   , some students even use cellphones   3   out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun．Some   4   students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in．

       Are these new students really that   5  ? “Yes．” says Delaney Kirk, a professor at Drake University．   6   she adds it’s not their fault．   7   , 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   8   well had nothing to do with them．” she says．“At first, I got worried about this．” but then I said to   9   , “You’re giving   10   , 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 good   11   ．They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young．Sooner or later, they may regret the time they 12   ．”

       Mrs. Kirk also   13   a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes．The following are among her suggestions:

l         On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit（受益）by taking the class and the importance   14   listening carefully in class．

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

l         Tell them how to use cellphones or MP3 players   15   ．
