New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. 1. The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink.

Here are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam? 2. 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 our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join in! 3. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.

4. 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.

Use the Internet carefully. 5. 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 fun or homework. If you can’t find any good websites for children, here are two: http://kids.eastday.com; http://www. chinakids.net.com

A. If so, don’t do it again!

B. You can do this online for a few hundred dollars.

C. That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.

D. Be open to new ideas.

E. The Internet can be very useful for your studies.

F. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who are the top students.

G. The Internet has its advantages and disadvantages.

Why does it seem like we are running around like chickens without a head? We fill up our schedules with to-do lists, events, meetings, and everything else in between. With such a busy schedule and a limited amount of time throughout the day, it’s easy to be late. Why does it seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day? You want to find out how not to be late again. __1.

Be Organized and Plan

First things first: you need to be organized with your schedule and plan! _2. If you are determined to be on time, you must first know what is on your schedule and at what times. Give yourself time in between meetings to relax and get refocused for the next meeting. It will be important for you to pace yourself throughout your day so that you don’t get overwhelmed and burnt out.

Arrive at Least 10 Minutes Early

When you organize and plan out your week every Sunday evening, it will be important for you to leave enough room in between meetings/events to arrive at the location at least 10 minutes early. ___3. Personally, I would rather be waiting instead of being the one walking in late. When you come early, it shows that you care. Be prepared with what you need to bring and be 100% there.

4. ________

When it comes to being on time, what helps me is to figure out what I want to wear the night before and have it ready to go in the morning. Prepare the coffee machine the night before and have it set for when you want it to be ready in the morning. Prepare and organize the night before what you need in the morning. For everything that needs to happen in the morning, try to prepare as much as possible the night before. This helps and you will feel much more relaxed when you wake up.

Value Yourself and Your Time

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful for fear that you let other people spend it for you” -Carl Sandburg.

When it comes to being on time, it’s all about valuing your time. When you value your time, you value how you spend it. If you are constantly running around and being late to events, it’s important for you to evaluate how much you value your time. When you are able to value your time, you will start to appreciate how you spend your time. _5.___ We experience so many distractions every day that we can easily be pulled away from what we need to do.

Cyber(网络) Sickness

Also called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy(头昏眼花的) feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen.1.Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.

Text Claw

It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction(收缩) felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 2.So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.

In Britain, it’s bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year. The last Friday before Christmas, popularly known as ‘Mad Friday’, is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.

But it’s not just the bars that get busy. Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too. Head injuries, cuts, falls…it’s easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1 revelers have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.

The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.

Jackie Ballard, the charity’s Chief Executive, believes the campaign has been successful in recent years. She says, “More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink. But also a study has shown the impact it has on people’s health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72％of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4％were still not drinking.

Moderation (适度) seems to be the key to everything. The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day. The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol — no more than a pint of 5.2％ABV lager, beer or cider.
