  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 top kids are. The best students won't

have high marks (分数). They will also be kids who do not dye (染) their hair,smoke or drink. Hereare some of the new rules.

  Tell the truth. Did you copy others' work in a test? Don’t do it again!That is not something an hon-est (诚实的) student should do. If you’ve played computer games for two hours in your room,do not tell your parents you are doing your homework.

  Do more at school. Good students always love animals and care for other people. April is a bird-loving month in China. Are your schoolmates doing anything to celebrate? You should join!

cover (发现) Earth II some day. Do not look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You

should welcome them,because new ideas make life better for everyone.

  Protect (保护) yourself. Keep your own information safe. If you have to go home late,you should

take care of yourself and let your parents know.
