Jenny,

You asked me when you can \"go out\" with someone last time. Now Let's talk about it.

The answer depends a lot on what you mean by \"going out\". When middle school kids start talking about \"going out\" or \"going together\might write notes to each other or talk on the phone or send messages to each other.

If somebody asks you to \"got out\it might feel great that someone likes you, but also a little strange. You may don't know what to do next. The best advice is to go slowly because it's easy for kids to get their feelings hurt.

It's a good idea to talk with your morn or dad, too. They might not want you to \"go out\" with anyone yet, even if you're not really going out anywhere. Or, if they're OK with it, they might have certain rules they want you to follow, like if you can have this person as a friend or get phone calls and send messages to this person. It's also a mistake that some kids may send messages to the person too many times a day.

Yours, Mary Green

73. When students talk about \"going out\ A. going out to play. B. Writing notes to each other. C. talking on the phone D. sending messages to each other 74. From the letter, we know Mary may be a _____________. A. school boy B. school girl C. teacher D. parent

75. The passage mainly talks about ______________. A. \"going out\" is a bad thing to all people B. You can \"go out\" with someone likes you

C. how to talk with your parents

D. how to do with \"going out\"

D

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 have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye（染）their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work on, 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 have done homework.

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（庆祝）? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.

Have you ever quarreled 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（发现）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 for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for run or homework.

76. The school new rules will help kids by telling them __________. A. how they can study well B. what they should do

C. what is right and what is wrong D. how they can protect themselves

77. According to the passage, which of the following is not true? A. Take care of yourself when you are out. B. Tell the truth, even when you are wrong. C. Keep some animals to protect them.

D. Use the Internet, but keep away form bad things.

They often think they swim so well that nothing will happen to them in the water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming in summer, don't forget that better swimmers have died in water.

If you remember these things, swimming will be safe.

C. 将你听到一篇“关于如何提高英语水平”的文章。请你记录下关键词或短语，并填写在下面的表格内。你有50秒钟的时间阅读表格的内容，短文读两遍。

How to Improve Your English

Here are some ways for you to improve your English.

1. We'd better develop our interest in English at beginning of our study. To develop interest in English study is not very hard. We may have the confidence from our English study when we are able to say something simple in English and talk with others or foreigners in English.

2. Plans are always very important, so we must make plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans.

3. We should take notes when we study any book. We may follow this advice: Don't read book without taking notes. Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easier and can often review and read them.

4. Watching English movies, English TV programs, listening to English songs are some very useful English learning ways, because they can attract our attention.
