Every school has its own set of rules to keep students disciplined (守纪律的). The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter than others. There are also some rules that look strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules:
Tough(严格的) Japanese rules. Most schools ask that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But many Japanese schools even regulate (规定) the color of underwear (内衣)! They also ask the girls to fold their white socks in a certain way and the boys to shave (剃) their heads. 3.Other Japanese schools tell students that they may not hang out, go to the movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission (许可) from the school.
Different shoes in the US. For safety at some US schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change at school every day. 4. This makes sure students won’t fall over on the slippery(湿滑的) floors and keeps the schools clean. Gum (口香糖) chewing is not allowed in many US school buildings, as it is difficult to clean the gum up. And if students chew gum in class, they may not focus on their study.
No strange hair in the UK. Strange hairstyles are not allowed in some British schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. Two students cut their hair into a special design during the 2002 World Cup. But they were not accepted by their school after that because the school said the rules had changed since then.

Once kids hit the teenage years, parenting becomes more difficult than ever. Establishing (建立) effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers. House rules must respect teenagers’ needs to be independent and make sure they do proper behaviors.
How can effective house rules be established?
First of all, get your teenager to take part in making the rules, which can help keep them following them. Ask their opinion about what kinds of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.
When creating the list of rules, don’t list every single rule imaginable. Instead, try to limit it to the ten most important rules. I’ve seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list. Remember, it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.
Then, it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location. Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere everyone can see them is a good reminder. Revise the rules whenever there’s a need, not very frequently though.
Give a clear explanation of the consequences (后果) when a rule gets broken. But ensure (保证) that none of your consequences are equal to abusive (辱骂的) parenting. For example, take off the rule that says—“if you don’t get home by 11 at night, make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning”. Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as consequences for disobeying rules.
Following these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行) will help improve your teenager’s behavior. Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!

What’s the most enjoyable school activity among American students? The answer is the school dance. Most American high schools have two dances during the year, one in winter and the other in spring. The students like the school dance because it is a good chance for them to meet new friends and learn from each other. At the dance, most schools make some strict rules to help create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. Only the students under 21 years are allowed in most schools. Some schools will even give the students a safety check before they come into the dance area. Some schools ask their students to keep a standing position (姿势) when they are dancing. That means the students can’t lean. You’d better not break the rules and enjoy yourself at the dance.

【推荐1】“Mum, I hate you. I don’t need a new schoolbag or clothes. I’m not afraid of being hit by you. I only want you to come back.”
When Chen Jiuying read her daughter’s letter, she couldn’t help crying. Chen and her husband are now working far away from their hometown. Their daughter, Xiao Li, is looked after by her grandparents. Like Chen, many migrant workers (外来务工人员) are dreaming about a better life, so they have to leave their children behind.
According to a survey, there are now about 61 million left-behind children (留守儿童) in poor areas in China. This has brought about many problems. These children care little about others. They do not do well at school. They lose confidence.
Luckily, many Chinese are now thinking about the life of the left-behind children and actions have been taken to help solve the problem.
A charity event took place in Beijing before Children’s Day. Its aim (目的) was to raise social awareness (意识) of left-behind children. The event was held to raise money from businesses and the public to prepare “love bags”. Inside the bags, there are things for children, including books, torches, and envelopes (信封) and stamps so that children can write to their parents.
The event was started by Chen Weihong, a television host in China. “The left-behind children don’t have enough parental love and family care. They need to keep in touch with their parents. We hope our love bags will help them communicate with their parents, and make them happier,” he said.

【推荐2】If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The G stands for the “generation（代）” of your mobile network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor（副市长）, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem—lag（延迟）. When the car “sees” an obstacle（障碍物）, it takes time to send and receive information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, making the cars safer, according to CNN.
5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things（物联网）. This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.
The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

The life of the animals in the zoo is different from that in the wildlife park.
In the zoo, most of the animals are very sad. They have to stay in cages all day and wait for the zoo keepers to feed them. They can’t go out of the cages, so they have to walk round and round.
However, the wildlife park is a good place for them. All the animals there live in the open air. They can run, jump and play happily, and look for food by themselves. They are protected there because people are not allowed to hunt. The most important thing is that they are free and happy in the wildlife park.
Most of the animals in the wildlife park are friendly. But some are scary, such as lions, wolves and tiger. Don’t worry. A special bus can take you to see the animals. You are quite safe inside the bus. How exciting it is if a tiger or a lion watches you through the window!

Now in the United States, I am trying to learn new school rules. My school has clear rules.
As for clothes, we must wear school uniforms. We can wear brown, black or gray trousers and shoes. Our shoes must be made of leather or canvas (帆布). No trainers or boots can be at school. We must change into the PE uniform and trainers before doing sports.
The break time between each class is only four minutes. We need to get to the classroom for the next class on time. Sometimes, there is even no time to go to the restroom. We usually put all the books in school bags two minutes before class is over.
If we are late, we must give a good reason or a permission (允许) card from the teacher of the last class. Or we will get lower scores. If we are late five times in one term, then we will be called truants (逃学者). This may bring us a detention (课后留校).

Dear Cindy,
How’s it going with you? For me, it’s terrible. There are too many rules in our school. It isn’t fair (公平的). I have to get up at five forty every morning. I can’t be late for running. I have to run at six thirty. I have to practice English and Chinese every day. In the evening I can’t watch TV or hang out with friends because I have to do my homework. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. What’s more, we can’t listen to music or eat in the classroom. We even can’t wear hats or have long hair. We have to wear school uniforms every day. On weekends, I still have to stay at school on Saturday, because I have to learn science and math. Do you have lots of rules in your school? Are they fair? What’s your dream school like?
Your friend,
Alex
