When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.

If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.

When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
1. When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.

A．touch everything	B．cover your mouth
C．point out to the kids	D．pass the germs to others

2. If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.

A．hold the door

B．pass through

C．close the door

D．stand to the side

3. Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?

A．Because it’s dangerous to stand to the left.

B．Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.

C．Because we must wait for others to move first.

D．Because we should make way for people in a hurry.

4. From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.

A．doctor

B．traveler

C．parent

D．teacher

5. The passage is mainly about ______.

A．the rules of acts in public	B．the ways of communication

【推荐2】Great books can make us knowledgeable and keep our minds growing. But great books are also hard books. How can we go through with great books? Mortimer J. Adler offers us a key to them in his book How to read a book.

Mortimer J. Adler(1902-2001), an American educator and popular writer, was famous as a leading editor(编者) of Encyclopedia Britannica《大英百科全书》in1974.Also, he set up the Great Books of the Western World program and tried to bring great books to common people.

To increase readers reading skill and help them to be active readers, Mortimer wrote How to read a book. It was first published in 1940 which became a bestseller in America and then it was completely rewritten in 1972. Now, it is one of the most successful guides for the general readers.

In this book, Mortimer first explains why we read. He points out that there is a big difference between reading for information and reading for understanding. He also shows that modern media (传媒) have taken much time we once spent reading books. Perhaps we know more about the world than we used to, but it may be questioned that whether modern media has much improved our understanding of the world. Meanwhile, Mortimer thinks there are four levels of reading, from the elementary(初级的) reading to the comparative reading.

Anyway, How to read a book is useful. But the fact is another story. It's said that 70 percent of the readers fail to finish reading it and 90 percent of the reader don't act in the way suggested in the book.
