If you study in America，you need to know some classroom customs．

When the teacher asks a question，you   1    to give an answer．If you do not understand the question，you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to   2    the question．If you do not know the answer，it is all   3    to tell the teacher that you do not know．Then he or she may know   4   you need to learn．

There is   5   for not doing your homework．If you are absent（缺席的），you should call your teacher or someone   6   is in your class and ask for the homework．It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you   7   your missed homework．

You must not be absent on a test day．If you are   8   ill，call and let the teacher   9   you can't be there for the test．If your teacher allows you to make up the test，you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class．Serious illness is the only reason for   10   a test．

Be on time! It is considered rude to be late．Also，it disturbs other students．  11   you come late，be sure to be quiet．Have your books and papers out of your bag   12   you enter the room．Then come in and go to your seat quietly．In the U.S. it is not necessary to knock when you enter the classroom．If you must leave during a class，do so quietly．There is no need to ask for the teacher’s permission．Before entering a teacher’s office or   13   office with a closed door，knock first，then wait to   14   in．

__15   in class is considered impolite by many teachers．Some teachers may ignore it，but you should get permission first．

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __31__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __32__ have that money.

　　On my birthday my parents told me they had my __33__ outside in the back yard. At once, I __34__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __35__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __36__! I thought I __37__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __38__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __39__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __40__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t __41__.

　　As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __42__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __43__. When you give something out of love, it doesn’ t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this __44__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __45__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
