The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat．Your talkative seat
题型：不详难度：来源：
The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat．Your talkative seatmate doesn’t understand your need for sleep．And the aircraft’s bathroom is a total mess．These situations can make even a short flight unbearable．Hopefully you don’t cause these unpleasant experiences for others．Instead，you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies．
Always recline your seat slowly．There’s nothing worse than suddenly being slammed in the knees by the seat in front of you．In addition，don’t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight．Always keep it upright position before going to the restroom（or anytime you leave your seat）．
Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtime．Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays have been collected．It’s hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays．And when using the bathroom，always clean up after your-self-the next user will be grateful!
Keep your body--and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate（s）．Share the armrest，especially on a long flight．Also，be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you，and don’t allow your children to do so either．
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight，not everyone does．Some people may want to nap，read or work．If the conversation seems one—sided，take the hint．
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat，keep your voices low．If using electronic gadgets，keep the volume down．People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high．
When exiting the plane，if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage，help them if you can．If you can’t help，wait patiently，and don’t push past people to get off the airplane．
On your next flight，remember that it all boils down to the golden rule．Treat others the way you want to be treated !

The internet has become part of teenage life.
A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often.
While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term.

It"s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. That"s especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents. It"s also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes (收养孩子的家庭) because of parents who can"t or won"t care for them but refuse to give up custody (监护) rights.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody baffle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she"s ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That"s an important development, one that"s long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly"s biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasn"t the Twiggs" own daughter, but Kimt only was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting fights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue ( 起诉) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren"t always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
36. What was the primary consideration in the Florida judge"s ruling?
A. The biological link. B. The child"s benefits.
C. The traditional practice. D. The parents" feelings.
37. We can learn from the Kimberly case that
A. children are more than just personal possessions of their parents
B. the biological link between parent and child should be emphasized
C. foster homes bring children more pain and suffering than care
D. biological parents shouldn"t claim custody rights after their child is adopted
38. The Twiggs claimed custody rights to Kimberly because
A. they found her unhappy in Mr. Mays" custody B. they regarded her as their property
C. they were her biological parents D. they felt guilty about their past mistake
39. Kimberly had been given to Mr. Mays
A. by sheer accident B. at his request C. out of charity D. for better care
40. The author"s attitude towards the judge"s ruling could be described as
A. doubtful B. cautious C. critical D. supportive |

Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection(亲密) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses. But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t permit this, for example, in Korea and China. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street.
In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men don’t kiss or hug when they greet each other.

Wily is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean"，a relatively untouched area.
The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors
ho use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or not completion. It contrasts with the “red ocean", which is already saturated, competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.

Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined，it’s a catalyst(催化剂)for the blue ocean market.
McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters，table settings，men us，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s，however，was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited.
