phone. Now, teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can
turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys and many other thing.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example, the biggest Swedish teleshopping
company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $
100 million. In France, there are two teleshopping channels (频道), and the French spend $ 20
million a year buying things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year, teleshopping was on one channel for one hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can now open for telebusiness,
including teleshoping, because it allows people to do their shopping without leaving their homes.
With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason to allow more teleshopping.
But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping
" junk on the air". Many Europeans worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality
is important to them, and they believe they can"t be sure about the quality of the things they see on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
from American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.
They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can"t touch or see in person.

have banned (禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.
Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the schools this year. Several
children have got mobile phones as Christmas presents, and more students want them.
Mary Bluett, an official (官员) said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心) to students during
school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also
saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat (作弊) during exams.
The official said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy
because they couldn"t get in touch with their children.
Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good
reason, they could leave their phones at school office. They also said there were many reasons why
the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction
from studies.
Many people say that they understand why parents would like their children to have phones, but
they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test 4 to talk with the teacher and his or
her parents so they can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and 5 them out
will help feel better than cheating.
If a student is 6 cheating, the teacher may give a " 7 " on the test, send him or her to the head
teacher"s 8 , and call his or her parents. Worse than the 9 grade may be the feeling of having
disappointed those people, 10 parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an 11 person
and a teacher might watch you more 12 the next time you"re taking a test.
There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn"t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If
that"s you, it"s 13 too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a 14 , but a student is always able to
act better and make better 15 . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.

| Many pupils tell us that they are busy with their study every day and don"t have enough time to do what they like to do. Brian, 13, said, "I don"t have much time for friends. I wish I could talk to them more." Mary feels that she never has enough time to practice her violin and play with her friends. She spends most of her time studying and doing her homework. Alice, 14, wants more time for skating and Rick, 15, wishes he had more time to watch TV. Morgan, 12. said, "I never have time just to be myself, talk with my friends and write in my diary!" Well, time is the same to every one of us. We can"t get more time or make time slow down. What we CAN do is try our best to manage (明智的使用) it. This means that we should know about everything we HAVE TO do and WANT to do. For example, we have to study, sleep, eat and make our house clean. We want to do things that make us feel relaxed (放松的) and happy. Then we should try to understand how much time each activity will take in a day. After we know that, we can make a plan to help us get through the day without too much hurry. I think that if all of us use our time properly, we"ll feel happier. | ||
