 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 have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye(染) their hair. The following are some of the new rules.

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

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

　　   Have you ever quarreled 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 for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for run or homework. Can’t you find any good! Web sites for children? Here are some: Http:// kids.eastday.com  Http ://www. China kids. net.com    http:www.Cycnet.com

　Have you ever studied in a foreign country? Maybe it is an amazing experience(经历), especially（特别） when you come to Australia as a foreign high school student. You can have a lot of fun there, especially on holidays.

　　There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers （包括）the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia students love to fly back to their home countries to stay with their family members and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get jobs. It is quite easy to find a job at Christmas. Students often take part in some social activities. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.

　　Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.

　　The Chinese New Year is not a public(公开的) holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do the same things as usual.
