Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname (绰号)“Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.

Chen Jie, 14, from Ningbo, Zhejiang is a lucky girl. She got 3600 yuan as gift money this Spring Festival. However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.
Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.
Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's," she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves."
It is not so simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.
Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.
But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承担责任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial(理财) skills, ' Yan said.
She also added:" No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected(尊重) and trusted.
Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent.
"It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said.Chen Jie’s grandmother ________.
| A．took away all her money and put it in a bank |
| B．let her take care of all her money |
| C．gave all her money to her parents |
| D．spent all her money |
Chu Chaohui thought the gift money should be dealt with by _________
| A．children | B．grandmother | C．parents | D．friends |
Yan Honglan thought___________ is the most important thing.
| A．to make children feel a little bit more grown-up |
| B．to take care of the gift money by themselves |
| C．to put the gift money in a bank account |
| D．to make the children feel they're respected and trusted. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Chen Jie got 3600 yuan as reward this Spring Festival. |
| B．Xiong Shengyue thought children should take care of the gift money. |
| C．Chu Chaohui thought parents shouldn’t play a big party in dealing with the money. |
| D．Yan Honglan has let her son be responsible for his gift money since the age of 9. |
Just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior(行为) that should be followed on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “ Would I say that to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn’t fire back. You should either ignore(不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you do decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯). You’d better not ask others questions about their age, sex and families. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, or don’t ask such questions.The Chinese meaning of the sentence “ treat others in the same way you would want to be treated”

I went to a square（广场）in a local university with my classmates to do cleaning. We swept off the fallen leaves and picked up rubbish. When we finished, the ground was very clean.
