Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.
Tell The truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? If you have, then 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 homework.
Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you fight 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, instead of only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps 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. Some websites on the Internet aren't for kids, so make sure to visit the web pages that are good for you. You can visit the websites for fun or homework. Can't you find any good websites for children?
(1)How many new rules and standards are mentioned in the passage?
(2)Should we learn to work together with others?
(3)Why should we welcome the new ideas?
(4)What kind of web pages should we visit?
(5)Who can be the best students according to the new standards?
Have you ever heard the saying " There is no place like home! " This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home.
Is home a place where you can relax and have fun? Is home a place where you get all of your best thinking done? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually represents more responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out?
There are many different kinds of homes. Some people live in apartments, condos, or single﹣family homes. Homes have different rooms that are used for different purpose. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the living room and the bathroom each have their own use. Suppose your house does not have a roof and you are a bird flying over it, what does your house look like? Think about it.
Some people might say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and grab a snack from the cupboard of fridge. You can relax in your room and read a book or play a game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be grateful for. Even though you are young, you can help to make a nice place to be. After all, home is where the heart is!

Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced,it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony (檀木) in the rivers. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark (树皮) to produce the world﹣famous xuan paper.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future ﹣ for example, getting into college or getting a good job ﹣ that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
(1)Does the writer agree to "Happiness depends on ourselves"?
(2)What can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life's simple pleasure?
(3)Why do many people go dancing or play sports?
(4)What's the example in helping others to find happiness?
(5)What's the passage about?

People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world? Emojis might be the first truly universal(通用的) language.
Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across. A group called the Unicode Consortium is in charge of choosing official(官方的)emojis It has added new emojis every year since 2014. These new emojis do not come out of nowhere. They come from what people think about, like and care about.
Emojis can be used to represent (代表) different groups of people. In 2015, emoji faces with different skin tones(肤色) were added. In 2016, different jobs were added,such as doctor, police officer and painter along with female versions of these jobs. This year, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheel chairs.
But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to pop culture and new cultural trends.New emojis in 2019 have included several animals, such as sloths(树懒) and flamingos(火烈鸟). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular thanks to the 2016 film Zootopia(《疯狂动物城》). Many fashion designers have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animal makes people feel like they' re on a tropical(热带) vacation.
It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in.It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.

To the Editor,
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One,the sixth﹣grade mentoring (指导) group.Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students.Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring.We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor,but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.
I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year. Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don't, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life.In many situations,lasting friendships are made as well. My mentor and I hit it off right away.And we're still good friends today.
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment(承诺).Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring.Considering your responsibilities,it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule.But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Lopez
