If you are in the UK, you'll probably meet people who never talked to you before. They may{#blank#}1{#/blank#} you "dear", "darling" or" love" There is no need{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Why? Because those people are just{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to be polite.

    Just like "sir" and "madam'.', there are many other{#blank#}4{#/blank#} for the British to call the people they may not know well. It is{#blank#}5{#/blank#} for a shop assistant (店员) to call you "darling", "dear" or "love". Don't{#blank#}6{#/blank#} shy.

    The British also use words like "petal", "duck" "son" and so on. It all depends on (取决于) your age and where you are. For example, if you{#blank#}7{#/blank#} your seat (座位) to an old lady on the bus, she will say "Thank you, petal". If you are in a bar (酒吧) in the West Midlands and try to ask for a(n){#blank#}8{#/blank#} the barman will say. "What'll it be, duck?"

    Next time you are called a strange name in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the UK, just accept it and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Remember to say "please'! and "thank you".

    Ms. Brown is a teacher. Her students are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} these days because of (因为) the school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the Summer Palace. It's next week. But she is so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} these days and she doesn't have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to go. She tells her students about it and they are not happy. But at last, the students persuade (说服) her and she decides (决定) to go {#blank#}5{#/blank#} with her dear students.

    Do you always {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with your teachers? Sometimes you have a different answer to a math problem. Or perhaps they scold (训斥) you when you don't think you did anything {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. What do you do then?  A story said that more and more students are speaking out and even quarrelling {#blank#}3{#/blank#}their teachers.

    It's good for students to say what they think. In the past,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Chinese students dared speak back to their teachers. It was a rule that what the teachers {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is always right. But now students are beginning to think more by themselves and dare to say {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they want.

    But students should choose the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}way to speak out. We should {#blank#}8{#/blank#} teachers. They are older than you and have more experience. So, never {#blank#}9{#/blank#}rude words when you don't agree with them.

    Try to find the right time to talk to your teacher. For {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, discuss the problem after class.
