Shanghai No. 8 Middle School began to use the new bell this term. It helps teachers remember it is break time. The new bell has three parts. The first part lasts 15 seconds. It is made up of lovely folk music. Next, there are 20 seconds of silence. The final 25-second bell is a fast-paced march (快节奏进行曲) that seems to tell each teacher, “You have to end class now”

All the students welcome the new bell. Chen Yong, a student, said, "We tried many ways to stop teachers before, but nothing worked. It's better now. When the folk music is on, teachers know that class is going to be over in one minute. "

Shen Huimin, a teacher at No. 8, agrees that the new bell is creative (创意的). "In the past, we usually wanted to add a few words after class. But we often forgot the time," Shen said. "The new bell reminds us twice. It's a small change, but it's really solving a big problem. "

New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle Schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. The following are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever cheated in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something honest students should do.

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 it? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect (保护) them.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth in space in the future. Everyone’s new ideas are important.

Protect yourself. Has a thief ever taken money form one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go back home late, you should let your parents know.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your study. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at the good web pages (网页). You can use the web pages for fun or homework.
