Everyone loves to talk to a polite person, but sometimes it is difficult to be polite to others.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}you want to be a polite person, the following advice might help you.

    Keep a smile.

    I don't know why we always {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to smile in front of others. There are even people who {#blank#}3{#/blank#} say hello to others with a smile. You won't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} humble (卑微的) if you smile first when you meet someone. A sweet smile is the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} way to show your kindness.

    Say "sorry", "please" and "thank you".

    "Sorry" ,"please" and "thank you" are the most ignored (被忽略的) words. When you need someone's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , do say "please" to him. If someone has helped you, don't forget to say "thank you". If you have done something {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, accept it and say "sorry". These simple words could show {#blank#}8{#/blank#} polite you are.

Avoid arguments (避免争论)

    If you don't agree with others on something, you'd better speak softly. Listen to others carefully and try to understand{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. If the person that you're speaking to is getting rude, keep quiet for a few seconds. Then he will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} that you are not interested in arguments.

    When I was a little child, I was afraid of hears. Later, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I was a teenager, we made a car trip from Oregon to Minnesota. We camped along the way. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to sleep in the car rather than in our tent, because I thought a car was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}than a tent. One night we stopped in a campground. I woke early the next morning while my friends were still {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the tent. I got out of the car and headed for the restroom. On the way right in front of me was a huge {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , looking right at me. It was at least 12 feet tall I cried, turned and ran back to the car. I could never forget it!

    On the way home we drove {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Yellowstone Park. Bears were everywhere along the road. There were lots of cars, so we were driving very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} , sometimes stopped. The bears came right up to our cars to ask for food. I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them through the car window. I wasn't afraid of the bear any more.

    Later I found something about bear attacks(攻击). {#blank#}9{#/blank#} 1900 and 2003 there were 52 human died because of bear attacks, while more than 300 people were killed every year by dogs. However, most of us are more {#blank#}10{#/blank#} bears. In fact, bears need human kindness. It's time for us to start caring about wildlife, particularly(尤其)bears.

Dear Mr. Hunt,

    My problem is that I can't get on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my family. Relations between my parents have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don't like it. It's the only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they have. I don't know if I should say {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to them about this. When they argue, it's like a big, black cloud {#blank#}5{#/blank#}over our home. Also, my {#blank#}6{#/blank#} brother is not very nice to me. He always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to let me watch my favorite TV show.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don't think this is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. At home I always feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?
Sad and Thirteen.

    On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. I was feeling a little {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , as I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks. They were so heavy that I decided to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some things. So I started to walk towards the litter bin {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I noticed a poor man held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} nearby bin and started looking through it.

    I suddenly felt very sorry because I was about to throw away with a new drink just because it was heavy.
