American schools must obey the classroom rules. Here are some of them.
If the teacher asks you a question, you should answer it at once. If you do not understand the question, you can put up your hand and ask the teacher to say it again.
You must not be absent (缺席 ) on a test day. If you are seriously ill, let the teacher know. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you'd better take the test within one or two days after you return to class.
It is rude(不礼貌的)to be late. If you are late, you should come into the classroom and go to your seat quickly. In the US it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom.
In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name, not "teacher". Also you should use Mr. Miss, Ms or Mrs before the last name, such as Mrs Smith or Mr Jones.
In the US, it is impolite to eat, drink or chew gum (口香糖 ) during class. Don't do these until(直到)the break.
A. How to get on well with others B. How to greet(问候,打招呼) C. When to arrive D. How to get on with our parents E. What to bring |
⑴The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "around 3:00", that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
⑵Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolate for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
⑶When you visit your friend's house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names, and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
⑷As we all know, students should learn how to get on well with others. But in what ways? First of all, we should respect others. Everyone has their own way to do things, so we should understand each other. Besides, it is important for us to communicate with each other. What's more, we should be kind to others and offer necessary help to those who are in trouble.
⑸Everybody has his parents. But not everybody gets on well with his parents. Well, first, we should respect our parents because they bring us up and care for us all the time. Second, we are supposed to do some housework at home. We should help clean the room, cook meals and so on. Third, we should care for them, have a talk with them about their work.
It was a cold night. A taxi driver, Peter, didn't take even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"
"To the Red Hotel." the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city.
After a long time, they arrived at the hotel. "Here we are! You should pay me fifteen dollars, please." The taxi driver said to the young man. "What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this hotel and only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip."
Around the world people enjoy sports. Many people like to watch others play games. Often they get very happy when "their" player team wins.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake! And think of people in cold countries.
Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese kungfu, for example, has a very long history. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.(胜不骄,败不馁)
A. Think how many people love to skate or ski in Japan or Canada. B. Sports help to improve a person's character. C. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy. D. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch games. E. People all over the world like doing sports. F. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. |
Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people.
Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind.
There is a kind of dog. His name is Seeing Eye dog. Now we can see this kind of dog all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye dog is strong and easy to train. He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, he must go to a training school for about three months. First, the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer's call. In his next lesson, the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training school, he must take tests. When he passes the test, the Seeing Eye dog will do things by himself.
Now he can help the blind people. The new master(主人) may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

These days I have been reading an interesting book called Robinson Crusoe. Do you know about it? It was written by Daniel Defoe. Have you heard of him? He was a famous English writer, who was born in London in 1660 and died in 1731.
Robinson Crusoe is one of the world's most popular adventure novels. It tells a story about an English sailor, whose name is Robinson Crusoe. He is caught in a heavy storm at sea on his way to Africa. After floating for some time, he arrives on an island, where there are no people. In order to survive, Robinson searches for food, builds a hut, makes tools and raises animals with his strong minds as well as his wisdom. He comes back to the human society after living on the island for about 28 years.
The novel shows us the experiences of a brave man and it also introduces us the spirit of never giving up. It is so popular that it has been translated into many foreign languages and is loved by readers from all over the world.
Dear Vera, Thanks for telling me your problems. I'd like to give you some . First, stop arguing with your parents. It is not necessary to argue with them.
