24、We all have our favorite teachers----those who seem truly interested in us. But what about teachers we don’t know as well ( or even don’t like much)? You can do lots of things to get a good relationship  with your teacher.

First, try to be a good student: go to class on time, finish all homework on time, be active in the class and ask questions often.

Second, show an interest in the subject. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects. Showing the teacher that you care-----even if you’re not good at math or French----sends the message that you are a dedicated(专注的) student.

Third, you can also often have a talk with your teacher when he is free. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, talk about the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when lecturing(讲课) in front of the whole class.

25、There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , “Sorry”.

One time as I was walking on the street , a young man ran by hurriedly , brushing against my handbag . Even as he continued on his way , he turned back and said “sorry” to me . Even in a rush , he didn’t forget to apologize .

One day , after I bought some apples , the salesman was giving me the change , but I wasn’t ready for it , and a coin dropped on the ground, “I’m sorry ,” he said while bending down to pick it up . I was puzzled —why would he apologize when it was my fault ?

Another time , I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator . At the same time , we both said “sorry” . I thought it interesting : was it really necessary for him apologize ?

Later on , an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is public place which everyone should be able to stand in . After someone occupies a position in the escalator , making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in , isn’t it necessary to express an apology ?

During my stay in America , I gradually realized that when friction (摩擦) occurs in daily life , Americans don’t care much about who is responsible . If someone is troubled , a “sorry” is always necessary . Even if the other person is hurt , the “sorry” would cool tempers . Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses , subways or streets in America .

27、You might like to listen to music while studying. What kind of music is your favorite? An experiment done with British workers found that listening to classical music at work can improve one’s efficiency (效率) by 15%. A study of 2,000 British workers found that half of them often listen to music on the job. Some of their bosses encourage them to do so, while others are against it, believing it hurts their work.

British scientist Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out if background music hurts or improves efficiency. In the study, four office workers were asked to copy two 600-word sets of passages. The group worked on the first set with no music playing and worked on the second set with classical music playing in the background. It took them 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set. The time for the second set was 17 minutes and 42 seconds.

Classical music can work as a kind of white noise, according to Spelman. “White noise is a mixture of sounds with different frequencies (频率). It can help people stay cool and calm. In fact, as long as the music has a calm beat, it can help us slow our heartbeat and stay calm. This makes it easier for us to work quickly and carefully,” Spelman said.

【1】Some bosses in Britain encourage the workers to listen to music because ________.

A．the workers don’t like their jobs

D．the bosses like music very much

A．Kind of music.

B．Time of copying.

C．Efficiency of working.

D．Number of workers.

【3】According to Becky Spelman, white noise is ________.

A．able to help people stay calm

B．a special kind of classical music

C．able to help people work slowly

D．a mixture of different kinds of music

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Noise brings harm

B．Workers interested in music

C．Music improves efficiency

D．Experiments of music playing
