Teaching good manners should begin long before they know how to walk or talk. In life, you have to set a good example for them. But how do we teach them good manners? There is a good book, How to Behave and Why by Munro Leaf. I read it with my first grade students and we love the book. It tells good manners that every child should know. The words in the book are not difficult and there are pictures in it. They make the book easy to comprehend. In daily lives, before children are going to school or a friend’s house, tell them the importance of good manners. In your family, you can make a list of family manners. This helps children learn good manners. And you can have a manners match. It makes learning manners more interesting. What are good manners for children? At school, they should respect teachers and other classmates. They should be quiet in class and listen to their teachers. And they should say “hello” or “goodbye” to teachers and classmates, and “thank you” when they get help from others. Good table manners are important too. For example, teach your children not to talk with their mouths full. Tell them that old people should eat first. Teach your children not to be late for classes, parties, meetings and so on. In fact, good manners will help your children a lot in their daily lives. So teach them to your children and learn with your children. ( )1. According to Paragraph 1, who may be the text for?

Here are some very interesting answers to this question. ② Alphorns（阿尔卑斯号角）were to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland once. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen（牧人）used them to call cows in the distance for milking. Alphorns were also to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re musical instruments. ③ The people of La Gomera, an island, have their own special way of sending messages from one mountain to another. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called El Silbo Gomero which comes from their language Spanish. People can hear whistling in up to 5 kilometres, which means they can use it across much greater distances than shouting. El Silbo Gomero can send all kinds of messages, including greetings and notices. People use El Silbo Gomero less than it used to be, but students in La Gomera have to learn it. ④ Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers（士兵）along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a sign. If they noticed something uncommon from their signal（信号）towers, they set a fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they set fires too. In this way, messages could travel 300 miles in just a few hours. ( )5. What do people use alphorns for today? [A] Communicating in the mountains. [B] Calling cows for milking. [C] Sending messages down to villagers. [D] Playing a kind of music. ( )6. Why do the people of La Gomera use El Silbo Gomero to communicate? [A] Because it can send messages to animals. [B] Because it is different from their language. [C] Because they can hear it at a great distance. [D] Because it is a subject for young students. ( )7. How did soldiers along the Great Wall get messages between towers? [A] By listening. [B] By whistling. [C] By shouting. [D] By watching. ( )8.
