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.

" Wanted: A violin. Can’t pay much. Call…"
The ad in the newspaper made me remember my childhood. Because my family was 36 , I couldn’t have a violin. So I asked, "Daddy, may I have a 37 ？" Daddy’s face looked sad. But a few weeks later, Daddy went home with a case in his hand. Inside the case was a second—hand violin for seven dollars.
No one could know how 38 I was when I took my violin to school for my first lesson. Several years later, I became famous as a violinist. And then, I carefully 39 the violin away.
Now 40 this ad, I discovered the case deep in my closet(储藏室). I put it on the table. Then I picked up the 41 , walked to the telephone and called the number.
Later in the day, a man aged about 30 knocked at the door. "I’ve been expecting
someone can answer my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so 42 ," he said, examining my violin. "How much is it?"
I said, " 43 dollars. "
"Are you surer" he asked. "Seven dollars," I 44 and then added, "I hope your daughter will be 45 to have it and enjoy it as I did. "
I smiled, but I found my tears roiling down my face.

The man’s son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. "And when your mother was your age, " the young man’s father 44 , " she had a good job and she 45 lots of money. You don’t even have a part-time job .You earn nothing. " The man’s son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too.

"Who did this?" Mrs. Green asked with a piece of broken glass in her hand. She had never been so 51 with us. The classroom was so quiet. All students looked at the window except me. I kept my head 52 . I knew it was me. I broke it when I practiced 53 baseball. But should I tell the truth? If I did, I would be in trouble, I didn’t have enough 54 . How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn’t want to put up my hand, 55 at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not 56 for me to say those words.
Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at 57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like 58 .Here is the book about them. It’s yours now. I give it to you not because you broke the window, but because you are 59 ." I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t punished(惩罚). However, I was given my favorite book about birds.
