A new term has begun. Teachers are 41 about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones 42 out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some 43 students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that 44 ? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor（教授） at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault. 45 , 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 learning well had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to 46 , “You’re giving lessons, 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 47 . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they 48 .”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage（驾驭） their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益)by taking the class and the importance 49 listening carefully in class.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones or MP3 players to the class at all.
Tell them 50 to use cell phones or MP3 players properly(适当地)..

When I was about 12 years old， I really wanted a new bike！ I __36__ my parents my birthday wish，but I knew there was little hope because my family could __37__ have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my __38__ outside in the back yard. At once I __39__ out to the yard. There was my bike， __40__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink， old and worn with age. It was so __41__！ I thought I __42__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __43__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __44__ the old bike and rode it， feeling __45__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile， rode as fast as I could and didn’t __46__.
As time went by， I began to understand my parents gave me __47__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __48__.

It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember， a gift that __50__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars， or even more.

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a __36__ about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

He put a great deal of his __39__ into the project and the next day he handed it in __40__ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a __41__ that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__42__ did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an __43__ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of __44__. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no__45__ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__46__ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about __47__ long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important __48__ for you.”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __49__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my50 .”
