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:

l     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.

l     Do not allow them to bring cellphones and MP3 players to the class at all.

l     Decide __45__ formal and informal the class will be.

A man got a new car and he was very proud 　36　 it. One day, when he 　37　 back home, he saw his three-year-old son 　38　 hitting the new car with a toy hammer. The man was 　39　 angry that he ran to his son, grabbed the hammer(鐵錘) from 　40　, and used the hammer to hit the little boy’s hands too hard. The 　41　 boy cried out but his father didn’t care.

　　When the father 　42　, he took his son to the 　43　 as fast as he could. Although the doctor tried his best to save the 　44　 bones（骨頭）, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end.

　　When the boy 　45　 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently(天真) said, “Dady, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “but 　46　 are my fingers going to grow back?” The father 　47　 very sad.

　　Think about the story when 　48　 steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge(報(bào)復(fù)). Think first before you lose your patience with someone. Cars can 　49　, but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.

　　People often make mistakes. But we should remember that forgiveness(寬恕) is greater than revenge. 　50　 before act!
