题目

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’m out, but when I am at home I want to be     25  .” That’s when I realized that most 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 “good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with”. Then he answered, “But I behave   29   when I’m 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 more. 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   themselves when they go to someone’s 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 or 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. 21．A. knowledge             B. wisdom            C. manners          D. intelligence 22．A. exposed                   B. limited             C. cared            D. concerned 23．A. learn                     B. practice            C. remember         D. make 24．A. live                          B.
