【明報專訊】ARIANA GRANDE filed a lawsuit seeking US$10 million against Forever 21, a fashion retailer, who had posted on Instagram photos of a model whose clothing and poses resemble hers in the music video for her song 7 Rings. The singer thinks the company didn't ask for her permission. (photo.1-2)

Manners

A recent survey by a non-profit organisation shows about 19% of children never say "thank you" when given help by their parents. Over 70% of the Hong Kong parents interviewed think the government and schools should bear most of the responsibility for teaching their kids good manners. But the director of the organisation thinks parents should take the initiative to do so. (photo.3)

Popularity

SOCIAL PLATFORM giant Facebook is considering hiding the number of "likes" users get in an attempt to ease users' pressure from attempts at popularity so as to enhance their mental health. Instagram, its subsidiary app, is experimenting on it.

■Gear up

(1) Find a word in the passage which could replace "thinking about".

(2) Ariana Grande sued Forever 21 because she thought the model it hired (was not professional / looks too much like her / did not appear in her music video).

(3) If a child has no manners, he or she treats people politely. (True / False)
