Your peers are people your age or close to it. Besides close friends, your peers include other children you know who are the same age------like people in your grade, sports team, or neighborhood. Peers may have a positive influence on each other and play important roles in each other’s lives:
Positive examples
Peers set plenty of good examples for each other. Having peers who do well in school or do their best in a sport can influence you to work hard to realize your dream, too. Peers who are kind and helpful can influence you to build these qualities in yourself. Even peers you’ve never met can be role models(模范). For example, watching someone your age compete in the Olympics or give a piano concert might inspire you to go after a dream of your own.
Feedback(反馈) and advice
Your peers listen and give you feedback as you try out new ideas. They can help you make decisions, too: what courses to take, whether to get your hair cut or let it grow, or how to solve a problem. Peers often give each other good advice. Your peers will be quick to tell you when they think you’re making a mistake or doing something dangerous.
Socializing（交际）
Being with your peers----such as classmates or teammates----gives you a chance to learn how to make friends and deal with disagreements with people.
New experiences
Your peers might get you involved(参与) in clubs, sports, or volunteer groups. Your world would be far less rich without peers encouraging you to try some new food for the first time, or listen to a CD you have never heard before

　　New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out in March. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who are the top students. The best students won't only have high marks (分数). They will also be kids who don't dye 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 what an honest (诚实的) student should do. If you have played computer games for twohours in your room, don't tell your parents you have done homework.

　　Do more at school. Good students are kind to other people and love animals. April is Birdloving 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 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 some day. 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 take care of yourself and 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 fun or homework. Can't you find any good web sites for children? Here are some: http://kids.eastday.com; http://www chinakids.net.com.
