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.

Ben is reading the following magazine article now. He wants to find out more about a special kind of theft.
Identity(身份) theft
The modern world is very convenient. It’s 85 to buy or rent things. We can do a lot of our shopping and banking on the Internet. However, we also face a growing problem: identity theft.
We often give our personal information to stores. That 86 our birth date, personal ID number, and home address. When we apply for a store membership, we give our information to a stranger. When buying something online, we do the same thing.
87 work hard to get that information. They- steal receipts(收据) and 88 computers. They also try to steal our passwords. They can use that information to become" another person. That’s identity theft.
One common crime is to apply for a credit card using 89 else’s name. The thief buys expensive things but doesn’t pay the bill. That can hurt a victims credit. With bad credit, it’s harder to get bank or car loans.
90 can you prevent identity theft? First, be careful about giving away personal information. 91 give someone your birth date and personal ID number when necessary. Second, tear up old credit card receipts and bank statements if you don’t want them. Finally, some experts recommend paying in cash as much as possible.

When I was young，my father told me that little acts of kindness may give one great happiness. Since then I have always tried to help people in 16 .
One hot summer afternoon, I was 17 down the highway to New York when another car suddenly 18 into my lane(车道). My car was in the far right lane，so it ran onto the roadside. As a(n) 19 driver，I moved my car quickly and skillfully back onto the highway without causing any accident.
I was 20 with that driver，but I thought that he just did not pay attention to the lane change, and he 2l did not do that on purpose(故意).The car ran away 22 after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared from sight. After a while，I came around a curve(弯道) and found the 23 car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He was an elderly man and looked 24 . With no telephone nearby and the nearest services twenty miles away. I decided to 25 and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire(瘪胎). Although he had a spare tire，he had nothing to work with. I decided to 26 him. I changed the tire for him and allowed him to sit in my Air-conditioned car while I did it. Fifteen minutes later，I 27 the work.

The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is 16 there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about 17 .
Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it. 18 a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are 19 tickets that will let them see a 20 game for free.
“Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price. 21 all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy 22 . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some 23 TV sets from the factory.
“Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of 24 an invitation, but for a later time.
You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?” 25 you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.
