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.

The iPhone 4S is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Apple Inc. It is the fifth generation of the iPhone, succeeding the iPhone 4, and was announced on October 4, 2011. Siri on iPhone 4S is like a person assistant. It lets you use your voice to do things on the iPhone. You can just talk to Siri as you talk to a person. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back.
Say something like “Tell my wife I’m running late.” “Remind me to call the doctor.”“Any fast food restaurants around here?” Siri does what you say, finds the information you need, then answers you. It’s like you’re having a conversation with your assistant.
Siri not only understands what you say, but it’s also smart enough to know what you mean. So when you ask, “Any fast food restaurants around here?” Siri will reply, “I found a number of restaurants near you.” Then you can say, “Hmm. How about French fries?” Siri remembers that you just asked about restaurants for something to eat, so it will look for KFC restaurants in the neighborhood. And Siri is active, so it will question you until it finds what you’re looking for.
When you want to do something, just ask Siri to help you do it. Siri uses almost all the built-in apps on iPhone 4S. It writes texts and sends email messages. It searches the web for anything you need to know. It plays the songs you want to hear. It gives you directions and shows you around. It makes calls, plans meetings, helps you remember and wakes you up. In fact, ask Siri what it can do — it even speaks for itself.
Siri is easy to use and does so much. You’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.

We live in the computer age. People use computers to do much of their work. But few people know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use your computer:

2.Do not let people smoke near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of a computer.
3.Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food and a little water in the keyboard are also bad for a computer.
