New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The following are some of the new rules.

You should not dye(染)your hair, smoke or drink. You should not copy others' work in an exam. Don't do it again if you did it!

     Good students love animals and care for other people. Being kind to animals is being kind to ourselves. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others, not only yourself.

Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Learn to protect yourselves. If you have to go home late, you should let your mother or your father know.

    Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren't good for teenagers, so try to look through web pages that are good for you.

    Do some colours make you feel calm while others give you energy? Scientists have studied the connection between colours and mood for a long time. Many believe that colour can influence our moods.

    Warm, bright colours such as yellow and red are positive colours. They can give people a pleasant feeling. Cool colours such as blue, purple, and green are relaxing colours. They help people experience calm feelings.

    Many public places are decorated with certain colours in order to create certain moods. Orange makes people feel hungry, and many restaurants are painted this colour.

    People use colour in their homes to create moods as well. Blue is a peaceful colour. It helps you rest, so it is a very good colour for a bedroom.

Colours can create bad moods too. Some types of blue make people feel sad. Red can make people feel angry.

    What is your mood right now? Now look at the colour of the walls round you. Does it match your mood?
