How to be the best
？

STARTING next term, it will be even harder to become an
all-around good
student
(
三好学生
). 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;
they will also be kids who don't
dye
(
染
) their hair, smoke or
drink
(
喝酒
).
Last week, new rules and
behaviour standards
(
行为规范
) for middle school
students came out.
The Ministry of Education
(
教育部
) said
many new problems have come up in
schools in the past few years. Because
rules aren't clear, some students do bad
things and get hurt. The Ministry hopes
the new school rules and behaviour
standards will help middle school students
by telling them what is right and what is
wrong.
Seven big changes will be made to both of

them.
Use the Internet for fun or for
Tell the truth

your schoolwork, but keep

work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not something an honest
student would do. If you have been playing computer games for two hours
in your room, don't tell your parents you have been doing homework. Be
honest about what you have been doing! If you tell your classmate you'll
return his cartoon book in two days, don't keep it for two weeks.
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
(
庆祝
)? You
should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to
protect
(
保护
) them. When more people work together, it makes it more
fun for everyone.
Work together with others

Have you ever
fought
(
打架
) with your teammates when your basketball
team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be
friendly to the people you work with. Try to think of others, not only
yourself.
Be open to new ideas

Have you ever thought that human beings could live on another planet?
Maybe you'll
discover
(
发现
) 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.
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 (
网页
) that are good for
you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can't find any good Web
sites for children? Here are some:


HELP


come up:
出现

Protect yourself

look down on:

Has someone ever taken money from one of your
瞧

classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you want to
stay overnight:
stay overnight
at a friend's house, you should let
过夜

your parents know.
Keep away from drugs

Some kids might not know that
drugs
(
毒品
) are bad for them. If you find
someone tricking (
欺骗
) students into using drugs, make sure you keep
away. Then you should tell the teachers and ask them for help.

The sand is back

EVERYONE tries to get to school on time. But when bad weather gives you
trouble, can you still make it before the bell rings?
In northern China during spring, big
sandstorms
(
沙尘暴
) often make
trouble for students and everyone else.

a Junior 1 boy at Yaohua Middle School in
Tianjin.
Xing usually gets up at about seven and
needs 20 minutes to get to school. But on
sandstorm days, he needs 40 minutes.
When the sky is dark with sand, buses and

against a sandstorm.
Here it comes again

Sandstorms usually happen in spring. This year, sandstorms started in late
March. They have happened in more than 10
provinces
(
省
) in northern
China this year. More than 70 million people have had problems in those
places because of the storms.
People in southern China don't have to worry about this kind of bad
weather. Most of the sand comes from Gansu and
Inner Mongolia
(
内蒙古
).
In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain.
People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there aren't
many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the
ground
dries up
and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice
melts
(
融化
), the ground becomes
looser
(
更松散的
). Strong winds take the loose
sand into the sky.
Sandstorms are bad for people's health. If people
breathe too much sand, they could cough or have

asthma
(
哮喘
).

Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems.

What can you do to stop sandstorms? Here's an idea: Ask your parents to
help you plant some trees this spring.
If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the
dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from
cutting.
Take care of yourself


Sandstorms are bad for people's eyes, nose and skin. So remember to
take good care of yourself if sandstorms come your way this month. Here
are some ideas:
.If you know a storm is coming, stay at home and close your windows.
. If you have to go outside during a storm, remember to put a wet
towel

(
毛巾
) over your mouth. That will keep sand from getting in your mouth.
.If you get sand in your eyes, don't worry. Close your eyes and put your
head down. Wait until your
tears
(
眼泪
) wash the sand out.
.Don't
rub

(

)

eyes
if

them.
It
could

your
eyeballs. And if your hands are not clean, your eyes could get
infected

(

).
.You can also wear a
mask
(
口罩
) and some
gloves
(
手套
) to take care of
your skin during sandstorms.
.Don't forget to wash your face and hands when you get back home.
.If you have a bad cough or can't
breathe
(
呼吸
), go and see a doctor
right away.
