New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only be the ones who have high marks. They will also be the kids who don’t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The followings are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest (诚实的) student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you were doing your homework at that time.

Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Birdloving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it brings more fun for everyone.

Be friendly to others. Have you ever quarreled (吵架) with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t good for kids, so try to look at web pages that are good for you. You can use the web for homework or fun. If you can’t find any good web sites for children. Here are two: http: //, http: //.
