名校初中英语八年级基础阅读训练含答案16.Dear Dr. Manners,My close friend seldom（很少）says ”please”. She will say “can you get me that bag?” or “move it over here!” I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use “please” and “thank you”, but she hardly remembers. I feel that she is ordering（命令）me around without “please”, and I always get annoyed（气恼的）.We have been close friends for over 10 years, this has always been there. It seems that I cant stand it any more. What should I do? Can you help me?Sincerely,HawkinsDear Ms. Hawkins.When your friend does not use polite words, it seems that she is ordering you to do something. So you have every right（权力）to hate her behaviors（行为）.Ask her why she doesnt use “please” and “thank you”. Explain to her that it makes you uncomfortable. Also, you dont want to do anything for her because she doesnt seem kind or pleasant when she asks you to.Your friend was probably never taught how to use “please” and “thank you” in normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that. Remember it is difficult to find another close friend if you lose one.Best regards,Dr, Manners阅读短文并根据短文内容回答问题。1.

It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like Survival Holidays is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. Survival Holidays gives them an important change.Is Survival Holidays a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children.
