Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in
school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow
the rules and the behavior standard(标准) for middle school students. Here are
some of the new rules and standards.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam ? If
you have, then don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do .
If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your
parents you were doing homework.

work together. Did you quarrel(争吵) 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, instead of only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the
moon? Perhaps you’ll discover Earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas.

make life better for everyone.
