One student took a box of chicken to class. Another carried on a cell-phone  1  ,and still another whistled loudly every time the  2   turned his back..

Reform school? No. College.  

More and more, professors say, they are coming across  3  students in their classrooms. Many of today¨s young scholars arrive late, leave  4  , talk loud or take care of personal 5  such as paying bills during class.  

Why are the students behaving  6 ? ^Because they can, ̄ said a student of University of North Texas. ^A lot of the time, the professors let them get away with it. ̄

Some educators say it is time to bring politeness back to their classrooms-and even  7 taking some of the blame for bad behavior. They say that rude students are by no means the majority but that one of them can ruin an entire  8  .  

People are  9  when they learn that impolite behavior is becoming more and more common in  10   education, says Dr. Gerald Amanda, a counselor at City College of San Francisco. They  11  some high school students to misbehave, but think those who get to  12 will behave more politely.  

Dr. Amanda believes that society in  13  has become more tolerant of rude behavior and 14   people in power, including professors, no longer  15  standards for  16  . That leads to a growing imprudence(煤楕佩葎) 17  some college students. ^There¨s a great  18  of bad behavior in the world around them, and young people see it and  19  disrespect, ̄ said Dr. Amanda,  20  that sometimes students ^have no idea that they are being rude.  ̄

Many adults see teens as energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking  1   many adults and us, too, to have the idea that if we can¨t handle school or  2  life well, we¨re just not trying.

But in my opinion that may not be  3 .

Earlier this school year, I was leaving my class one Friday,  4  suddenly it felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.

After a few days I stopped eating. This meant I lost 5  ; the clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began   6   loose. This time my parents got scared. 7  , I started sleeping less. My eyelids(凛討)were constantly   8  .

I refused to   9   that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didn¨t  10   any classes. When I was hurting, I didn¨t mind and kept on going. 11   it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?

But now I find myself thinking. Is it  12   it? I¨m taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks good  13   college applications. And I¨m working 25 hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can  14   it.

Here I am, already sick from the  15   of work I¨m doing in and out of school. So, what good is a(n)16   application if I¨m badly ill? What is the  17  of doing this work if I can¨t enjoy the results?

In fact, by writing my  18   I¨m telling all the people who  19   much about the future and worry about it now. This is my warning: Don¨t climb the  20   dive if you don¨t like the deep end.

Doctors were unable to  1   the cause of her illness��so she2  to London and admitted to Hammersmith Hospital��where specialist help was  3  . She was then only half-conscious(磯肢痴)and on the ^Dangerously Ill ̄ list. A team of doctors hurried to  4   the baby only to discover that they��5 ��were puzzled by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby¨s case��a nurse asked to  6  to them.

^Excuse me�� ̄said Nurse Marsha Maitland��^  7  I think the baby is  8  from thallium poisoning.  ̄

^ 9  makes you think that? ̄ Dr. Brown asked. ^Thallium poisoning is extremely  10  .  ̄

^A few days ago��I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse   11  Agatha Christie�� ̄Nurse Maitland explained. ^In the book��somebody uses thallium poison��and  12   the symptoms are  13  . They are exactly the same as the baby¨s.  ̄

^You¨re every observant and you may be right��"another doc tor said. ^We¨ll  14  some tests and find out  15  it¨s thallium or not.  ̄

The 16  showed that the baby had  17  been poisoned by thallium��a rare metal used in making optical(高僥議)glass. 18  they knew the cause of illness, the doctors were able to give the correct treatment. The baby soon  19  and was sent back to Qatar. 1nquiries(距臥)showed that t he poison  20  from an insecticide(姫恰質)used in Qatar.
