New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only be the ones who have high marks. They will also be the kids who don’t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The followings are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam 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 your homework at that time.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it brings more fun for everyone.
Be friendly to others. Have you ever quarreled (吵架) 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, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. 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.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t good for kids, so try to look at web pages that are good for you.

I have tried to write a ghost story that won’t make you unhappy with yourselves, with each other, with the seasons, or with me. I hope it haunts (飘荡) your houses pleasantly.
—Charles Dickens
One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark.
“Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew (侄子).
“Bah!” said Scrooge “Humbug (骗人的话)!”
“Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle.” Said his nephew.
“I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry You’re poor.”
“OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad You are rich. Don’t be angry, Uncle!” said his nephew.
“What else can I be ” answered the uncle, “I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you It’s a time for paying bills (账单) without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying ‘Merry Christmas’ should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!”
“Uncle! Please don’t say that!” said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!”
Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him.
“One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit,” said Scrooge, “and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!”
“Don’t be angry with him, e and have dinner with us tomorrow.”
“No.” said Scrooge.
“I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!”
“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge.
“And a Happy New Year!” said his nephew.
“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again.
His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied. “A Merry Christmas to you, too.”

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 32 , the first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges. 33 . For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. There must be competitions in one’s life, so people can improve.
Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents words, “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.” 34 .
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 35 . It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.
根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
A. When a lion wakes from its dream
B. I suddenly knew what competition was
C. So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again
D. Whenever I would remember my parents’ words
E. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises

阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
Many traditional woodcut prints (版画) are either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) can show rich colors.
The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints (印刷) different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. The reduction woodcuts became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009.
Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. Leng started learning it in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure (奇遇). “Every time we cut on the wood and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng.
But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish.
Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu’er. “For my works, there are two themes (主题): Tea Horse Road (茶马古道), because Pu’er is one of the starting places of that road and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.”
