26、An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. 【1】Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modem kids.
Saying “thank you” to service workers
Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers. It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable. 【2】
Taking turns talking
Teach your children to touch your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge(理会)them before speaking. If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. 【3】Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk.
Using their indoor voices
【4】 A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate(使适中)their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.
Covering a cough or sneeze
These days it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It’s not just a matter of hygiene(卫生)——no one enjoys getting sprayed. 【5】 Don’t forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after.
A．Remember it goes both ways.
B．Therefore it makes others feel cared about.
C．Games are very important for children’s good manners.
D．Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud.
E．Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.
F．It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.
G．Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.

28、What’s Really Green?
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy. and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. 【1】
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. 【2】 In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
【3】
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 【4】 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local food might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than food grown a long way away, even taking into account its transport.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
【5】 If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
A．So say no to plastic bags.
B．Here are some common ones.
C．Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D．Eating local food is good for the environment.
E．The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F．It’s time that we should take some measures to protect our environment.
G．It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.

Flat photos may never be out of fashion. But if you are a creative person who is always 【1】 for new things, you may consider printing a photo of yourself in 3D.
In December, the Omote 3D photo booth, the world’s first 3D photo booth that can 【2】 action-figure-size versions of people, was opened in Japan. Less than a month later, two 3D photo booths of this kind were opened in Beijing and Xi’an, bringing the cutting-edge 【3】 even closer to home.

The 【7】 involves a 15-minute scan with a handheld scanner, during which the 【8】 must stay completely still, in the manner of early portrait photography—no doubt 【9】 in similarly rigid (僵硬的) poses and fixed stares.
