New rules and behavior standards (規(guī)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.

  Do 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 join!That way you can learn more about animals and 6        them. When more people work together,it brings us more 7      

  Learn to cooperate. 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 may enter healthy websites for your homework or just for fun.

  When I first started to learn English,I didn't like it because it was so hard. But now I'm good at it,and it's all because of a young Canadian lady. I first met her one day six years ago when I went to an English lesson. It was 1        to have a pretty foreign lady for a teacher.

  At the very beginning of the lesson,she 2       at us and said ," Hello,today we're going to learn some animal words. Do you like animals? I like animals very much. For example,I like dogs,cats,fish and lots of others."Then she took out some 3        and gave one to each of us. She wanted us to look at the animals on the cards 4        and draw them on the blackboard one by one. Then she would teach us the English 5        for them. There was a bee on my card. When it was my 6       ,I went to the blackboard and thought for a minute 7        I started to draw. I could 8        the other students looking at me from behind. It made me 9       I looked at the teacher,and she gave me a smile. She seemed to be saying to me, "I 10       you can do it!"

  After looking at her,I didn't feel so nervous anymore. I tried my best and drew a big bee on the blackboard.

  "It's pretty good," my teacher said when I had finished. She used her hands to 11        us how bees fly. I felt 12        when I looked at my own picture on the blackboard. It made me want to learn "bee"， and also lots of other 13        for animals.

  That young Canadian lady's class was the most 14        one in my life.  I never got the 15        to ask her what her name is,and now she has gone back to Canada. But every time I have English lessons,I think of her and her sweet smiles just for me.

  My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher g 1       us copies of the script (劇本) .

  "Choose a character in the play who you'd like to be," she told us. "This evening learn a few lines (臺(tái)詞) for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I'll d 2       who'll play each part."

  I wanted to play one of the biggest p 3       in the play,so I chose the part of the king. He had a lot of lines to say. I learned them by h 4       

  This morning,I acted as the king. When I said my lines,I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted r 5       well.

  Everyone in the class said some lines. Many of them couldn't act at all. They even couldn't read without m 6       mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.

  H 7      ,the teacher gave me the part of a soldier at last. He had only one line. It was "Yes,sir!”

  I was very d 8       At the end of the lesson,I went up to my teacher and asked her why I had s 9       a small part.

  "You put too much expression in your acting," she said. "A good a 10       is who the audience (觀眾) can identify with (與...... 產(chǎn)生共鳴) ."

  Most teachers agree that the first lesson of a teacher is often unforgettable. I remember getting into the class with the 1        of a beginner teacher：nervous,careful,excited,etc. The school I 2        my first lesson in was wellknown to hold the most troublesome (頑皮的) students in the city. With this in 3       ,I was more nervous than I should be. But I tried my best not to 4        it out and went into the class. The first thing I did was taking a look at the whole class. My eyes 5        on a big black student. He was sitting in the back 6        of the class with no one in front of him. His body was much 7        than mine. I thought it would be better to 8        that boy untouchable. As soon as I started my lesson writing on the blackboard,I heard some noise from the back. I 9       the students to find out who did it,but the class looked very 10       . I went on writing and the noise went on. Then I stopped my lesson to 11        this problem because I believed that if I lost control of the class from the 12       ,I wouldn't be able to get it back. I thought the big boy made the noise. To my 13       ,a small boy was the source (根源) of trouble. Days went 14        and I discovered that the big boy was good and quiet and the great source of trouble came from 15        students who became under control after some week. From then on,I realized that judging by appearance can often be wrong,especially with students.

  My feelings about science have really changed. I never used to 1        science,but last year I changed schools,and the science 2        at my new school are excellent. The science facilities (設(shè)備) are very 3       ,with laboratories that have all the latest equipment. Our chemistry teacher,Mr Longford,takes us to 4        science lectures (講座) about four times a term,and these are 5        very interesting,as the lecturers are people who have made real discoveries in 6        area of science. The fact is,Canada has 7        firstclass scientists. In the last twenty years,seven Canadian scientists have 8        the Nobel Prize!The Nobel Prize is the highest scientific prize,so we should be very 9        of that.

  I'm becoming more and more interested 10        physics,and have decided that I want to 11       it at university. I'm going to try to go to 12        Montreal or Ottawa University,as both 13        supposed to have good Physics Departments.

 Maps are very useful and important to us today,but they are not a new i 1      In fact,people have made and used maps for centuries. It is b 2      that the first map of the world may be a 2,600-year-old clay (黏土) map from Babylonia. People in the p 3      did not know what the world really looked like,but they had many i 4       about it.

  Mapmakers could not draw accurate (精確的) maps of the Earth until people began t 5       around the world in the fifteenth century,mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,people began making c 6       maps of countries,but the accurate maps of the world were not made u 7      the 1890s.
