New rules and Behavior Standards for middle school students came out in March. A middle school is going to start new rules        who the top students are. The best students will        have high marks, they will also be ones who don’t color their hair, smoke or drink. The following are more of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied        work in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something        students should do. If you are playing computer games in your room, don’t tell your parents you are doing homework.

Do more activities at school. Good students love animals and        others. April is Bird Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! That way you can learn more about animals and   46   them. When more people work together, it brings us more       .

Learn to co-operate. When your basketball team is       , only working together can make your team       . 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        Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down upon new ideas. All the ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Pay attention to your safety. You should not walk        outside, especially at night.       where the public phones are. If ________ happens, you can find them quickly. If you take a bus to a place far away, please don’t sleep. This stops a stranger from        money from you.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

    Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).

    Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

    Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

    Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

Here are some tips on how to talk with your parents.

Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day. They love this!

Make it clear what you want to tell your parents if they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t disturb. Ask them to do the same for you.

Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look at their eyes sincerely.

Be honest. Honesty builds trust(信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.

If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you or they’re not trying. Sometimes you have to explain things to them again or in a different way.

When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “Thanks! That helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.

If you feel there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another day.
