Many people have never communicated with someone who is blind. Keep in mind there is no need to treat (对待) those people differently. Just show your respect to them. And do the following things kindly.
Offer help.
If you see a blind person who seems to need help, offer your arm. Taking your arm will help them to follow the movements of your body. If they have a guide dog, ask if they’d like to take your arm or follow you. Remember not to touch a guide dog.
Give helpful directions (方向).
Always give directions to a blind person according to the way they are facing. Giving them the words, such as “over there”, won’t help. Let them know clearly, “Go straight for about five meters and the door is to the right.”
Don’t use different words.
It’s okay to use words like “look” and “see” when communicating with a blind person. Words like these are likely as much a part of their word bank as yours.
Leave things where they are.
When visiting a blind person’s home or office, don’t move things around. Even if you think you’re helping, you may not be doing the right thing for them. Usually the blind person knows where they keep things and expects the things to be where they placed them.
When meeting someone who is blind, don’t treat them |

【推荐2】Do you like to eat out? Many people like to eat out in a western(西方的)restaurant. We should remember the rules in a western restaurant.
Western restaurants usually give you a nice napkin(餐巾)to use during the meal. When you sit down, put this napkin on your legs, then order the food. It often has a lot of dishes. Many people order an appetizer(开胃菜)for the first dish. An appetizer is a small dish of food. After the appetizer, you may get soup and then salad.
After the salad comes the main food. A main food will have some kinds of meat or fish with noodles, rice or potatoes and vegetables. The last food is usually dessert(甜点)and drink, like coffee or tea.
Eating out in a western restaurant can be expensive. But the food is very delicious. Usually by the end, you will be quite happy!

In English-language news reports, when you read “relations between Beijing and Moscow”, it actually means “relations between China and Russia”. That’s how important the capital is. We know that the central government of a country is always located in the capital. The leaders of a country usually work and live there as well.
Many of you may know that Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. But this will change soon. Indonesia has decided that the country would move its capital from Jakarta to Kalimantan. This is big news for the country, even for the world.
Choosing a good place as the capital is significant for a country. In many countries, the capital is the richest city. This is because when a city becomes a major business center, it takes on a more important place in the world. London, for example, has been the economic(经济的)center of Britain for nearly 2, 000 years, so people naturally chose it as the capital.
Sometimes, capitals are chosen for some other reasons. For example, Brazil’s capital used to be Rio, which is a coastal(海岸的)city. Later the capital moved to the inland city of Brasilia, because coastal cities can be attacked(袭击)more easily during a war.
In the case of Indonesia, the new capital was chosen in order to balance the development in different areas. Kalimantan is an underdeveloped area. By becoming the new capital, it can expect faster economic growth.

WARNING: Holding a cell phone against your ear or putting it in your pocket may be bad for your health.
This sentence is a warning that you’d better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research in Motion, BlackBerry’s producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If cell phone use can cause health problems, the result will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion (万亿) minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.
Devra Davis, professor who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation (辐射). Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.
Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to (暴露在) radiofrequency (电波频率) radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones (有线耳机) or the phone’s speaker. Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant (怀孕) women should keep phones away from their bodies.

【推荐2】As a teacher, you need to create rules for your classroom. But how can you make your students want to follow the rules? Give them a hand in creating those rules! Here’s how to do it. Start with a list of what you consider the main points, and then, through thoughtful discussion, work with your students to create a set of rules expressed in their language. Use this list as a starting point.
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Respect other people and their things.
Laugh with anyone, but laugh at no one.
Pay attention to your own learning
Come to class and hand in homework on time.
Most teachers agree that it’s best to choose only a few rules-those leading to successful learning and a great environment. It’s too hard to remember a long list! Make clear and specific rules. Then decide with your students’ help what the punishment will be for breaking those rules.
Teach the rules as you would have a common lesson. It should be your first lesson. Discuss each rule, explain the idea behind it, and ask for examples of how it could be broken.Tell your students that rules help make everyone’s time in school more enjoyable, and use examples to explain this. The rules can also be posted as a reminder(提醒) and each student is advised to take a copy of the rules home.

Do you know the idea of game literacy(素养)? Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us communicate and learn about the world. Game literacy means the ability to get, understand, critically evaluate(批判性地评价) and even create games.
A report showed that Chinese teenagers’ game literacy has improved. For example, more than 60 percent of teenagers can know about whether the information is the historical facts or reality(现实). And 55.3 percent can recognize information which is harmful for them.
Teenagers also know the bad effect of games, and have a sense of self-control while playing games. The biggest problem is that teenagers easily share personal information with others, which is not safe.
To change the situation, the experts suggest highly improving the idea of game literacy. Family, school and community need to work together to improve the game literacy and help students use the Internet properly.
Game literacy means the ability to get, understand, critically evaluate and even create games. A report among young Chinese people showed that their game literacy has The experts give us a |
