Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy when dealing with people. My own son, who basically grew up with his grandmother, the original 21 guru, has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was 22 to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not 23 manners. So I asked him why. He said,?I behave the way I am supposed to 24 when I抦 out, but when I am at home I want to be 25 .?That抯 when I realized that mos 22t parents, myself included, do 26 their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also 27 to believe that at home, anything goes.

My 28 to him was 揼ood behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are wit2h?

Then he answered, 揃ut I behave 29 when I抦 with others so that they think better of me.?And that is when I realized that I was doing things all 30 . I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This 31 him even mo witre.

So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday 32 with people or at the dining table at home, is an 33 of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.

So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children 34 comes with the underlying lesson that it is not about 35 to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not 36 ; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the 37 courtesy of greeting their friends?parents and 38 the mselves when they go to someone抯 home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door 39 that matter, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors oer letting women step out of the elevator first.

Just 40 that teenage boys who practice good manners’ and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.

第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题;每小题2分，满分50分)

：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项选项的标号涂黑。

A

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France抯 most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generatitons.

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. 揥hen people think they can抰 take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a cleareg r picture,?he said. 揟he drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can抰 see them properly th toey simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.

But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a 搉o-go?area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he saysth, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.

Clottes disagrees, 揟he measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests frhom people who live there,?he said. 揟he site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.?David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the sit fre. 揌enry de Lumley抯 idea isn抰 ideal,?he said. 揙ur department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able tit fro look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn抰 seem to be possible to get the government support.?In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also workedfr on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach ?tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles ?the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and pfrrovide guides. 揧ou can抰 say the plan can抰 go ahead because there is no money,?she said. 揟hat is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we don抰 take steps, we will be resnd pfrponsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.? 41.Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain____.

43.Henry de Lumley is eager to ____.

A. set up research projects B. protect public rights

C. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area

44.Which word best describes Annie Echassoux’s attitude towards saving the historic site?

A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Hesitant.

45.This passage has been written about Mont Bego to ____.
