It’s popular to use the cell phones with cameras to catch a moment in time.A Texas schoolMagnolia Independent School,is worried that students have found another use—a way to cheat(作弊)in tests.School officials said some students could use the phones to take pictures of test questions.Another problem was that students might take improper pictures of classmates to share or post on a website later．

“Cell phones without cameras are allowed in school,but must be turned off in class.Cell phones with cameras will be confiscated(没收) and punishing action will be taken.”officials said.Some students are not willing to obey the rule.“I’d be lost without my phone,”said Kendall Paul,a student.“All my numbers are in it.I’ve never used it to cheat and I don’t know anyone who has at our school,so I think it’s kind of stupid.”

But other students said they saw it all the time at their school.“In fact,the cell phones with cameras are popular in our school and they are very useful,especially in our tests.We would take a picture of the test,and then send it to the next person or the person in another classroom,who is taking the same test.”said Melisa Sparks,a student.“They would send the question and the answer,too.It’s quicker that way.”another student said.

I have a computer and I almost use (C) ________ to write reports every day. People also depend on their computers a lot these days.

However, some students play computer games for too long. This is a serious problem. In the past, students used to play outside more often, (D) ________ now they spend more time inside. They play computer games in front of computers without having a rest. This is bad for their health.

【推荐2】Being polite is very important.(1) If you are polite to others, they will be polite to you.

In English there are many words to show your politeness; the use of “sir” and “madam” is not an important one. These words are used far more rarely than we think. In Britain, it is unusual for someone in the street to say “Excuse me, sir.(2) Can you tell me the way to the station?” The people who use the word “sir” in this way are usually expecting some money for a service—a taxi or a waiter. For example, “That will be $12,sir.Thank you!”

The word “please” is used everywhere in Britain.(3) Many visitors don’t know when to use “please”. When they go into a cafe they say “A coffee.” or “I want a coffee.” or even “Can I have a coffee?”(That might be really alright in their own languages).However,(4) it seems that they are impolite! Just adding a simple “please” would make it better —“A coffee ,please.” or “I would like a coffee, please.” It is better and safer to always use “please”!

Let’s look at polite ways of asking questions. Instead of a direct question we often use “Can you” and “Could you” before we say what we want .Look at these examples, which are from a normal conversation at home between husband and wife: “Can you park your car over there, please?” “Could you move the table against the wall, please?”

“Could...?” is a little more polite than “Can...?”,but both questions contain the word “please”.

If you are not a native English speaker ,then to use “Can...?” and “Could...?”to express a request is wise. In fact, you can be even more polite: “Sorry, could you tell me the way to Oxford Street, please?” “Sorry, could you tell me your name again, please?” (5) it’s, with, the, word, request, very, common, to, start, a, “sorry”.

If you ask for help, try “I’m sorry to bother you, but could you help me, please?” You might say to a friend “Hey John, lend me $100,will you?” But you couldn’t say this to somebody you do not know well.
