As a student, what does it mean " to be good"? TheCode of Conduct for Primary and Middle School Students (《中小学生守则》) holds the answer.

    Last year, a new draft (草案) code came{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, replacing the old content. There are some important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Big phrases like"have deep love for your motherland, the people and the Communist Party of China" are not there anymore. The new code tells students to respect the national flag and national emblem (国徽){#blank#}3{#/blank#}. It also {#blank#}4{#/blank#}students to "know about China's history".

    Also, the new code asks students to "lead alow-carbon (低碳的){#blank#}5{#/blank#}"，"takepart in voluntary work"， and "control the time you spend online". The change on brave actions {#blank#}6{#/blank#}draws attention. The old code told students to act bravely when they saw people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}rules. But the new code asks students to learn to protect {#blank#}8{#/blank#}and ask for help.

    Many teachers are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}to see these changes. Students say they know{#blank#}10{#/blank#}to do when they face some problems.

A: Annie, I'm a little nervous. I have to finish {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a book and give a report next Monday.

B: That doesn't sound too bad.

A: But I'm a very slow reader.

B: Just read quickly to get the main ideas at first. Don't read word {#blank#}2{#/blank#} word. Read word groups.

A: But I don't understand many of the words. I have to use a dictionary.

B: Try to guess a word's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} by reading the sentences before and after it. You {#blank#}4{#/blank#} understand more than you think.

A: That sounds difficult!

B: Well, be patient. It takes time. You can become better by reading something you enjoy every day. The more you read, the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you'll be.

    Rose is one of the funniest girls in her class. She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} like a boy, and she is good at performing. So she {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to play Harry Potter by her classmates last week. She said happily, " I'm sure that I am able to do the job well because I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the book many times already."

    Dick, one of Rose's best classmates, is also an actor in the play. He likes to perform the play with Rose. He said, "We are confident that we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} well in our school art festival next week."

    Everyone in the school is looking forward to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their performance.

    One Christmas, Celina received a special gift—a blue plastic piece. There is green, blue and faded mica(褪色的云母片)in it. It has the same {#blank#}1{#/blank#}as a hand mirror. It was similar to a kind of fish which looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} useful nor beautiful. She thanked, and forgot it.

    One day. Celina {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the dining room. When she took down the box from the bookcase, the strange gift was found. This time she noticed a hook(钩)at one end, and there were several{#blank#}4{#/blank#} on the bottom of the box: Hang on a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}window.

    Then Celina went to the kitchen, hung this gift on a window with the sunshine pouring in all day. To {#blank#}6{#/blank#}surprise，amazing colorful light came into the kitchen. Through the little blue mica colors turned{#blank#}7{#/blank#}green to dark blue，and then to purple …just like the fantastic sea waves. She had {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thought such a small strange gift could lead to a beautiful sea world. On Christmas day Celina didn't find that kind of beauty. But at the moment she understood: a common thing will be so beautiful as long as you make use of it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.

    The gift has been hung on the window. Every day it reminds her that she should {#blank#}10{#/blank#}some time finding the beauty hidden in people and gifts, it's an important lesson for her.
