For anything you’re about to send, ask yourself "Would I say this to the person's face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2 If someone in the chat room is rude to you,your instinct (本能)is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.4 Offer advice when asked by newcomers,as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it is a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.5 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age,sex,and marital status,unless you know the person very well, and both are comfortable with sharing personal information.A.

If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.三、短文改错In our life, we often regret what we did and what we couldn’t do. Actual, it doesn’t benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn moremoney, to get a high position and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don’t seize those chances, thus feel upset. Although we do know regretting the past is of no benefit, but we still can’t help doing it.To avoid problem above, we need to pay more attention to which we are doing now,making us busier and having no time to recall the past. Moreover, we5d better set reasonable goals one with one. Only by doing so can we struggle for their better future.参考答案：一、阅读理解1. D 考查推理判断根据第一段的内容可知，绘画符号可以用来与部落成员传递秘密信息、反映战争中的事件，以神奇的力量保护部落成员。
