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:
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.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones and MP3 players to the class at all.
Decide __45__ formal and informal the class will be.

Do you want to make your own bike？You can do（46） at the Bamboo Bike Studio （竹子单车工作室） in New York．People can learn（47） to make their own bamboo bikes there．
The studio is also helping build factories in Ghana （加纳），a country in western Africa．The factories will make cheap bamboo bikes．
Bamboo grows in America．It also grows everywhere in Ghana．Bamboo is one of the fastest﹣growing（48） in the world．
Bamboo is as good as steel for（49） a good bike．Marty Odlin works at the studio．He says a bamboo bike is the wonderful everyday bike．
In Ghana，bikes are very popular，because（50） people have money to buy a car．They have to use bikes to（51） most of the country's food and other goods （商品）
The people of Ghana are also too（52） and they can't build factories to make traditional steel bikes．（53） making bamboo bikes is cheap．Odlin plans to teach Ghanian workers how to（54） make bamboo bikes．He says each worker can make about four bikes a day．
"Tn America，we have too many goods，"says Odlin．"So we don't appreciate （感激） what we have．In Ghana，people don't have many goods．We want people in America to have a better relationship with their goods and（55） in Ghana to have more goods．"

Earthquakes may take place anywhere on the Earth's surface．（49） ，they are most probably to happen near mountains．
During an earthquake，the Earth's surface shakes．Houses fall，people are killed or injured，and （50） whole cities are destroyed．
But we can do something to protect （51） against earthquakes．Scientists have made maps （52） the"earthquake belt"．In the belts，earthquakes are likely to happen．In these areas we can build （53） houses to resist（抵抗）earthquake shocks．
In the future，scientists will be able to predict exactly （54） earthquakes will take place．Then they can tell people to take measures．Thus lives can be saved and damage（损失）can be（55）

Jellyfish and Crocrodiles（水母和鳄鱼）
Hi，my name's Ben．My family，that's Mum，Dad and me，live in Broome in Western Australia．Western Australia is about 80times larger than Italy，but only 1.5million people live there．（46） It has a population of about 12，000．It's right on the coast and is known for its famous Cable Beach，which is 20km long．
We live in the town in a house with a large garden．（47） We drive to Cable Beach and look for a quiet place to swim or to fish．We don't go swimming from October to March because there may be box jellyfish in the water．The box jellyfish is one of the most dangerous jellyfish．（48） If you are attacked by one，the best thing to do is to pour vinegar（醋）over the area of your body where you are hurt．That's why we always take a bottle of vinegar with us．
（49） A year ago I went camping in the bush with my friend Bill and his dad．We wanted to do some fishing and set up camp about 20metres from a river．（50） Bill's father told us to get up and we quickly got out of the tent adn ran to the car，which was only 10metres away．
Bill's dad started the car and turned on the headlights．In the light，we could see a big crocodile pulling the tent into the river!
| A． |

Rebecca says that many people who are bullied（2） in silence．She says that although she （3） heard a lot about bullying when she was in primary school，she never thought it would happen to her．
Rebecca told us that the bullying began when she went to middle school．People started making fun of her for being a（4） student and knowing all the answers．
She went on to say that every time she answered a question correctly in class，everyone would start shouting and saying that she was too（5） for them．
She told us that by the end of the year，she was very （6） about the bullying and became ill．She began to hate school．But （7） she had a friend who could talk to，and they told their head teacher about her problem．She believes that talking to the teacher
