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 best students are．The best students won’t only have high marks．They will also be students who don’t dye(染)their hair, smoke or drink．The following 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 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(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?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 students, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you．You can use the Web for fun or homework．Can’t you find any good Websites for children?Here are some：

“You speak very good English”

　　The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English．“You 　　1　　 very good English．” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor．” The foreigner was quite

　　　　2　　 at the answer．Thinking he had not made himself 　　3　　 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well．” But the Chinese student still 　　4　　 saying “No”．　　5　　 the foreigner gave up and didn't know what to say．

　　What's wrong with the student's answer? It is because he didn't accept a compliment as the American people 　　6　　．He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”．He actually understood what the American had said．But he thought he should be modest．If someone says to a woman, “ You look 　　7　　 beautiful with the new clothes 　　8　　．” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you．” In our country we think 　　9　　 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior．But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 　　10　　 I can't do it well, ” then the others will take it for granted(理所当然)that you 　　11　　 can not do it．If you often say, “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 　　12　　．When 　　13　　 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it．So in the West, one should always be confident．　　14　　 self-confidence, he can't go anywhere．Confidence is of great 　　15　　 to one in a country where competition is quite keen．(激烈)
