If an old man suddenly falls down in front of you, will you help him? Most of us would choose to help him 1.__because__ we know it's the right thing to do. But others might refuse 2.__to__do__(do) so. In my opinion, we should not only think about 3.__ourselves__(we) but others as well.

Some people may feel that students need phones for safety 3.__reasons__(reason). However, it's not good or necessary for them to use phones at school.
First, there are 4.__phones__(phone) in most modern classrooms nowadays. 5.__If/When__ students need to call their parents, they can use one of the phones in the school. There 6.__is__(be) really no reason for students to have a phone with them.
Besides, cell phones can be a big problem in the school day. If the school allows students 7.__to__bring__(bring) their phones to class, they won't pay much attention to their schoolwork.

What's 9.__worse__(bad), cell phones can also be another way that students bully(欺凌) each other. In some ways, phones would just be another way for bad students to hurt others.
In a word, I can't think of any good reasons why students need to have cell phones at school. Phones would just be 10.__a__ problem and could lead to more bullying in school.

“It's so boring 6.__to__listen__(listen) to Robin. He is always talking about his farm,” Alan added.
“Then what 7.__about__ Peter?”
“A selfish man, though he is smart and interesting,” Alan continued.
“But everyone loves him.He is 8.__more__popular__(popular) than anyone else in the village,” the doctor laughed.
“Right,” agreed Alan. “But he's so noisy that I can't stand 9.__him__(he) for more than five minutes.”
“I'm afraid you see so much of your neighbors' weakness that you don't know what good people they actually are,” the doctor said. “Anyway, please call me 10.__if/whenever__ you need me.” Then he left and not a word of “thank you” was heard.
