New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The following are some of the new rules.

You should not dye(染)your hair, smoke or drink. You should not copy others' work in an exam. Don't do it again if you did it!

     Good students love animals and care for other people. Being kind to animals is being kind to ourselves. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others, not only yourself.

Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Learn to protect yourselves. If you have to go home late, you should let your mother or your father know.

    Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren't good for teenagers, so try to look through web pages that are good for you.

A: Jim is working late again tonight, Xiao Ping.

B: I know.  Young people need to sleep.

A:  Teenagers never get tired.

B: Well, maybe. But Jim shouldn't  work every night.

A: Oh,  He needs time to relax.

B: You know, he should really cut his hair.

A: Oh, I don't know.  

B: Yes, I do. It doesn't look clean. And I think he should stop wearing that silly earring.

A: Oh, I disagree. I like it a little. It looks cool!

B: What worries me is that Jim doesn't seem to have many friends.

A: Really? I didn’t know that.

B: Yes. Because friends are very necessary.
