If you dont understand the question or dont know the answer, its all right to tell the teacher that you dont know. Then he or she knows that you need to learn. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent (缺席), you should call your teachers or your classmate and ask for homework. It is your duty to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teachers responsibility to tell students about the homework theyve missed. 5 You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a make-up (补考), you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test. Be on time! It is rude to be late. Also, it disturbs other students. If you come late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and paper out of your bags before you enter the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the US it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly. There is no need to ask the teachers permission (允许). Entering a teachers office or any office with a closed door without knocking first is not OK. Knock first, and then wait to be invited in.

Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things.

The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate (预算) must be corrected and revised because prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house. When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high!) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan.
