27、ere are some basic rules of behavior that shouldbe followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, "Would I say

28、this to the person's face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to d

29、o so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block theirmessages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation bypolitely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.Everyone was new to the netw

30、ork once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they maynot be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel s

31、trongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if youfind you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to t

32、hose that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status.Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.45 When you send short messages to a person, you

33、 must _.A make sure that they mean no harmBread them again and againC say something good to hearD repeat them later to the person's face- 4 -46 If you are hurt in the chat room by others, you should _A fight back in the same wayB take them seriouslyC have none of themD be angry at them47 If a ne

34、wcomer who communicates on line makes any mistakes, you _.A should point them out sharplyB shouldn tgive any advice unless required by themC should say something about themD should take your responsibility to correct them48 This passage mainly tells us _.A some rules of Internet communicationB ways

35、of sending messagesC rules of the chat roomD ways of making friends on the Internet（ C）Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. T

36、hese are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a grea

37、t impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail. The ant works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about en

38、joying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk. The cricket fun firstThe cricket wants to

39、 enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. Theyeven borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance. The sn

40、ail lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loansfrom the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.

44、at an Unusually large number of such childrenare mentally affected.The professor says，“ It strue ， my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school.But our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings.”Captain Thomas James， an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and

45、himself a father of two，said，“ Ive never heard of such rubbish.

46、ed as any others ， if not more so. What the professor doesn t appear to appreciate is the factthat in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups. "When this reached Professor Martin， he said that at no time had his team suggested that allchildren were backward or mentally aff
