Nowadays, a new method(方法)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 standards for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.

Tell the truth. Don't copy someone else's work in the exams. That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played online games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you were doing homework.

Learn to be loving and caring. Good students love animals and care for other people.

Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you quarrel with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. You shouldn't only think of yourself. You should also think of others.

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. 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. Some websites(网站) on the Internet aren't for kids, so make sure to visit the ones that are good for you. You can use the Websites for fun or homework. Can't you find any good websites for you?

Justin: I'm from Romania. China is a great country and its high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me only 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It saves a lot of time and it's cheaper than by plane. I wish we will have high-speed railways in our country someday.

Yala: I'm from Nepal. l always go out by bike. The bicycle-sharing system allows people to borrow a bike from point "A" and return it at point "B". It's cheap and a low carbon and healthy way of life. I like it very much.

Archana: I'm from India. My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. I hardly take money with me when l go out. I can pay for almost everything by Zhi Fu Bao. Oh, it's amazing. In India, if you don't take money with you you'll be awkward.

Bond: I'm from Thailand. In China, you can find many wonderful things that we don't have. Alipay or other online payment Apps are convenient. So I can go shopping without stepping out of the doors(足不出户). lf only(要是……就好了) l could bring them back to my country.

Four students are talking about the best museums they have ever been to.

Peter was the best table tennis player in his school and hardly ever lost a match. He hated losing anything. When he won, he would feel really good. If he lost, he would feel terrible. It seemed to Peter that losing was the worst thing in the world.

A new kid, Albert, came to Peter's school. He was good at table tennis, too.

Soon there would be a match between Peter and Albert. Peter worked hard to get ready for the match, but Albert didn't seem to think much of it. When the match began, Albert was a real player. There was always a smile on his face, while Peter looked serious all the time. Peter thought it was so important to win the match that he even wanted to cheat, but he lost in the end.

"You played very well, Peter. I think we can play again sometime," said Albert. But Peter didn't feel happy and couldn't fall asleep that night.

One day, Peter saw Albert playing basketball. Though he lost again and again,

The happy smile never left his face. Peter found Albert was great at table tennis but bad at basketball. However, he enjoyed both of them.

Peter came to realize that enjoying a game was much more important than winning or losing it. So he felt happier than before.
