New rules and behavior standards (规范)for middle school students came out in March. A middle school is going to start new rules 1       who the top students are. The best students will 2       have high marks,they will also be ones who don’t color their hair,smoke or drink. The following are more of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied 3       work in an exam? Don’t do it again!That’s not something 4       students should do. If you are playing computer games in your room,don’t tell your parents you are doing homework.

Take part in more activities at school. Good students love animals and 5       others. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should participate in it!So you can learn more about animals and 6       them. When more people work together,it brings us more 7       Learn to co-operate. When your basketball team is 8      ，only working together can make

your team 9      . Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others,not only yourself.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll 10       Earth II someday. Don’t look down upon new ideas. All the ideas are important. You should welcome them,because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Pay attention to your safety. You should not walk 11       outside,especially at night. 12       where the public phones are. If 13       happens,you can find them quickly. If you take a bus to a place far away,please don’t sleep. This prevents a stranger 14       money from you.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. 15       not everything on the Internet is fit for kids. You should enter healthy websites for your homework or just for fun.

Dear Jenny，

How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

I’ve been back at school 1      nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great 2       have taken place in our school this term. First of all，we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 3       to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 4       the food we order. We should also stop wasting in many other ways. For example,we should turn off the lights when we 5       the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden,and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans (豆类)in our 6       time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to 7       you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time!What’s more,we have only two classes in the afternoon 8       we can have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school,we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to 9       the traffic rules. I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon,and tell 10       more about your school.

Yours,Wang Wei

A desert is a large land of sand. There is very little rain and not many plants. The size and the place of the world’s deserts are always changing. In recent a hundred years,deserts have become more and more. That’s mainly because of men. In the nineteenth century,some people brought a kind of little animal called rabbit to Australia from England. Today there are millions of them. They eat every plant they see. So the great desert in the center of Australia is becoming bigger.

There are places in North Africa where great cities once stood. There were gardens and trees and grass. But now these places are deserts. Scientists studied the land to find out what happened. Many of them thought the land died when the trees had been cut down.

Trees help other plants grow. And they keep the earth from blowing away. In forests,leaves on the ground keep rain water from running off.

Men  can  make  deserts,but they can  also stop them from  getting  bigger.  For  example,in China,the  Great Green Wall has been built  and it has already saved  a  lot  of land.  But  more    “Great Green Wall” are still needed all over the world. Can we stop deserts from getting bigger and save the land? Yes,we can. And we must.
