New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. 1. The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink.
Here are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam? 2. 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 have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving Month in our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join in! 3. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
4. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe 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. 5. But some things on the Internet aren't good for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. If you can’t find any good websites for children, here are two: http://kids.eastday.com; http://www. chinakids.net.com
A. If so, don’t do it again!
B. You can do this online for a few hundred dollars.
C. That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.
D. Be open to new ideas.
E. The Internet can be very useful for your studies.
F. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who are the top students.
G. The Internet has its advantages and disadvantages.
Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
1. In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.
A. huge buildings B. high mountains

A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
4.The passage is mainly about_____________.
A. the use of garbage dustbins
B. how to save water and electricity
C. how to save the environment
D. our current environmental problems
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
1.Which best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?
A. Intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
2.It is suggested in this passage that __________.
A. close relations usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
3.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.
A. the importance of their intelligence
B. the effect of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions
D. the part that birth plays
4.The best title for this article would be “_____________”.
A. On Intelligence
B. What Intelligence Means
C. Born with Intelligence
D. Environment Decides Intelligence
