     New rules and behaviors 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, smoke or drink. The following are some
of the new rules.
     To 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 com-puter 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! In that way, you can learn more
about animals and how to protect them. When more people work to-gether, 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? May-be 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 anyone 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 fun
or homework. Can't you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some:
     http://www. eastday. com
    http://www. chinakids. net. com
    http://www. cycnet. Com

　　Choosing a Writing Topic(题目，话题)

　　Your teacher and your group members may help you choose a topic sometimes．We suggest that you try if possible to choose or make up a topic that is interesting to you because it will be easier for you to write about something you are interested in．

　　Getting Started

　　Once you have chosen a topic, you have to get started writing．Getting started is the hardest part of writing for most people．However, there are ways of making this job easier, and we would like to introduce you some of these techniques(技巧)at this time．

　　Brainstorming helps you get ideas for your writing．Here is how to do it．First, take a pen and piece of paper and write down your topic on it．Read your topic over a few times to yourself．Then let your mind go freely．And then write down any ideas that come to your mind．Now let’s suppose your topic is blue jeans．Please do as suggested．

　　freedom　　comfortable　　enjoyable

　　Listing is useful for exploring something where you are trying to look at two sides of a subject, the advantages(good points)and disadvantages(bad points)of something, reasons for doing and not doing something．

　　Another useful technique is mapping．You start by writing your topic in the center of your page in a box．And then as you brainstorm for ideas, you write your ideas around the topic．As you write one idea down, you may think of another idea related to(与……有关的)it, so you could write this second idea close to the first one．Mapping can be useful for helping you see relationship between ideas and also showing important events in relation to each other．Here are two examples of mapping．

　　Another way to get started and to explore your ideas on a topic is to do some free－writing at the beginning．You can do free－writing after or in place of brainstorming．You write for 10～15 minutes about your topic．You should write anything that comes into your mind．Keep on writing even if nothing comes into your mind．When you free－write, don’t think about grammar, spelling, or punctuation(标点)．Just write!And don’t stop writing until your time is up．After you finish, read over what you have written．Draw a line under anything that seems interesting to you．You can free－write again beginning with the part you underlined．You can free－write several times．Each time you bring your ideas more and more closely to your topic．

Once upon a time there lived two friends in a small village. Jay and Victor had been friends since they were little children. Now they were studying in a school which was far away from their village. They had to cross a river, climb hills and go through sandy areas on their way to school.

One rainy day, the two friends went to school as usual. They were chatting while walking. Perhaps they were discussing something important, but the two had different opinions, which led to a big argument. Things got so bad that Jay suddenly hit Victor. Then Victor looked at his friend and wrote in the sand, “ Today, my best friend hit me.” They both continued walking without saying anything . Later, they reached a river. Victor was not a good swimmer. By accident, he fell into the river and was going to be carried away by the water. Jay saw this and jumped into the river at once. With difficulty he pulled victor out of the river when Victor became safe, he wrote on a stone, “Today, my friend saved my life.”

Jay, who was watching all this, asked,“So way did you write it in the sand when I hit you, and why did you write on a stone when I saved your life?” Victor replied, “ we should soon forget the wrong done by our friends as words in sand get erased easily, but if they do something good for us, we should always remember their kindness, just as words in stones are kept forever.” Then the two friends walked on as if nothing had happened.
