Checking e-mails, sending text messages and making telephone calls while 1 others are impol

And 75 percent 4 anyone using laptops, netbooks and mobile phones in the bathroom. “Etiquette is first and fore
19、most a question of 5 ,“ said author and etiquette expert Anna Post. But she described the results of the Harris Interactive poll as pretty surprising 6 . Sixty-two percent of the 2,625 adults who took part in the survey agreed that mobile phones, laptops, and netbooks are part of daily life. Fifty-f
20、ive percent also thought the demands of business mean people must stay 7 , even if it involves taking a laptop on a holiday or answering a mobile phone on a meal. But despite the need to be constantly connected and the general 8 of the technology, people were more sensitive about technology abuses d
21、uring holiday and religious activities. Nearly 90 percent of Americans think mobile phone use is 9 during a religious service and 30 percent admitted they would be offended if they received an online gift wish. “These are issues about common sense,“ said Dr Genevieve Bell, adding that the social rul

Indeed homelessness has
23、 reached such 1 that local government can“t possibly cope. To help homeless people towards independence, the federal government must support job training programmes, raise the 2 wage, and fund more low-cost housing. Not everyone agrees on the numbers of Americans who are homeless. Estimates range an
24、ywhere from 600,000 to 3,000,000. Although the figure may vary, analysts do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is 3 , one of the federal government“s studies 4 that the number of the homeless will reach nearly 19 million by the end of this decade. Finding ways to assist this gr
25、owing homeless population has become 5 difficult. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a shelter that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day 6 the street. Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are 7 to alcoho
26、l or drugs. And a significant number of the homeless have serious mental disorders. Many others, while not addicted or mentally ill, simply lack the everyday 8 skills needed to turn their lives around. Boston Globe reporter Chris Reidy notes that the situation will improve only when there are 9 prog
27、rammes that address the many needs of the homeless. As Edward Blotkowsk, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, puts it, “There has to be 10 of programmes. What we need is a package deal.“ A. increasing B. strolling C. addicted D. proportions E. proclaims F. invariably G.

Indeed, Jeff
29、erson was an obsessive book collector from a young age, amassing (收集) three separate home libraries in his lifetime. The first collection was destroyed when his family home burned down in 1770. When the Library of Congress was destroyed in the War of 1812, Jefferson sold his second collection of abo
30、ut 6,000 books to the federal library. Jefferson“s library was considered the finest in the country, and his collection doubled the holdings of the Library of Congress. Still, Jefferson didn“t let the shelves at Monticello sit empty. By the time he died 11 years later, he had more than 2,000 volumes
31、 in his library. B. Jefferson“s library might fit your conception of an old-fashioned home library with leather-bound books, wood paneling and uncomfortable furniture. But home libraries can be a dynamic expression of the owner“s personality. Creating a home library is a fun way to display your inte
32、rests while establishing a special space for reading. Home library organisation C. When you started using the public library, you probably learned about Melvil Dewey and his system for ordering libraries. The Dewey Decimal Classification System has ten broad categories for organising books, includin
33、g philosophy, religion and the arts. Each category is assigned a number, so for example, when you want a book on modern art, you head to the 700 block. Larger libraries, such as those at universities, tend to use the Library of Congress Classification System because it offers a more specific array o
34、f subjects for categorisation, adding subjects such as medicine and law for a total of 21 categories. D. Your home library may or may not be as large as your local public library, but a good system of organisation will still help you find the book you want quickly. You could take a page from Dewey a
35、nd the Library of Congress and sort books by subject matter. Sections for subjects such as history, technology or fiction might make their retrieval easier. This system also would allow you to highlight a particular passion, such as an extensive collection of World War history. E. Here are some othe
36、r ways to organise a collection: 1) Alphabetising by author works well for fiction but not necessarily for nonfiction books of various subjects. 2) Judging a book by its cover is usually frowned upon, but sorting by colour can be aesthetically (从审美上) pleasing to some. Those generally forgetful about
37、 the colours of their books might disagree. 3) After a painful breakup, the main character in Nick Homby“s book High Fidelity organises his record collection autobiographically in the order he acquired them. A chronological organisation might include shelves that track the progress of your life, fro
38、m beloved childhood reading and college textbooks to parenting books. 4) To some readers, there are two ways to look at books: read and unread. Prioritising (区分优先次序) when you might need the book will allow you to keep unread books at the forefront of your collection, as well as books you reach for f
39、requently, such as reference books or favourite novels. Library furniture F. While it might be difficult for a book lover to spend money on something other than books, at some point, you will need some bookshelves. Built-in bookshelves can provide floor-to-ceiling storage and space savings. They can
40、 be tucked under staircases or other out-of-the-way spaces; however, they“re not a good choice for renters, and they can represent a big investment in terms of price and installation. Freestanding bookcases are widely available in a variety of sizes, colours and price points. You can also mount hang
41、ing bookshelves onto the wall or buy glass cases, which might be preferable if your collection includes antique books that you want to preserve. G. Sagging poses the main threat to bookshelves. A bookshelf that is 36 inches long should have shelves at least one inch thick. If it“s longer, then it sh
42、ould be thicker so that it won“t droop under the weight. One tip for maximising space on the shelves is to use adjustable bookshelves, so that very small books don“t take up space that can be better used for taller coffee table books. You can also decorate bookshelves with personal items, such as ph
43、otographs and souvenirs. Not only will this break up the rows of books visually, it will also give you room to expand as your collection grows. H. As your bookshelves creep up the wall, you may need a library ladder to reach them. While any step stool or ladder will do, rolling library ladders add a
44、n elegant, whimsical (异想天开的) touch. The ladders attach to the shelf on a tracking rod, and the bottom of the ladder has wheels, so that you can move effortlessly from one end of the library to the other. I. When considering other library furniture, think about how you“ll be using the room. If you“ll
45、 be writing and taking notes on your reading, you may want a desk or a lap desk. Desks and bookstands are also helpful for reading those big volumes that are too heavy to hold up comfortably. Overstuffed (加有厚软垫的) couches and chairs will beckon guests to spend a few hours reading, but if you fall asl
46、eep as soon as you hit the couch, you may need to consider other options, particularly if you“ll be doing scholarly or professional reading. J. Wherever you“re sitting, it will be hard to enjoy a library if you“re suffering from eye strain, fatigue and headaches, which can all be brought on by poor
47、lighting. When selecting lighting, look for a lamp that will help you see the smallest text you read. The lamp should be positioned over your shoulder, so that the light is not directly in your eyes. Positioning it this way will also help to minimise glare. Your lamp should be brighter than the rest
48、 of the room but not that much brighter. However, all light will eventually damage books, so use it at a minimum. Book care K. Do you devour (贪婪) books quickly? You“re not the only one. Some insects love books, but not for a good story. Bookworms are not just those readers that have their nose in a
49、book all the time. The more dangerous kind will tunnel through the book, eat the pages and lay eggs in it. L. Once you identify an infestation, isolate the affected books. In some cases, you can seal the books in plastic bags and freeze them to kill the insects. Keeping your library free of excess moisture and dust will help to pre
