As a teacher, you need to create rules for your classroom. But how can you make your students want to follow the rules? Give them a hand in creating those rules! Here’s how to do it. Start with a list of what you consider the main points, and then, through thoughtful discussion, work with your students to create a set of rules expressed in their language. Use this list as a starting point.
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Respect other people and their things.
Laugh with anyone, but laugh at no one.
Pay attention to your own learning
Come to class and hand in homework on time.
Most teachers agree that it’s best to choose only a few rules-those leading to successful learning and a great environment. It’s too hard to remember a long list! Make clear and specific rules. Then decide with your students’ help what the punishment will be for breaking those rules.
Teach the rules as you would have a common lesson. It should be your first lesson. Discuss each rule, explain the idea behind it, and ask for examples of how it could be broken.Tell your students that rules help make everyone’s time in school more enjoyable, and use examples to explain this. The rules can also be posted as a reminder(提醒) and each student is advised to take a copy of the rules home.
Complete the chart according to the passage with only one word for each blank.

【推荐1】It’s time for school! But on May 14th, Duncanville High School in Texas, US, asks 170 students to go back home.
Why? Because they are wearing the wrong clothes to school.
Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes (着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells Students to wear belts, shirts without logos(标识).
Schools’ most-hated clothes are different. In 2011, people in Florida stop students from wearing trousers that show body parts. Now, some schools don’t allow(允许) leggings(紧身裤). Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.
Some students complain(抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect(保护) students’ safety(安全) and make sure they grow up with good taste.
“We want to teach them that they must do this not only here in school. but also outside school,” said Andre Smith.

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.

The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. With a history of over 2000 years, the Great Wall has lost some of its parts. It is still a very popular place of interest.
It is the longest wall ever built in the world. It’s from Shanhaiguan on the east coast to Gansu Province in the northwest of China. It is about 8 meters high. The top is 8 meters wide and it gets even wider towards the bottom（底部）where it is 15 meters. The top is hard enough for men on horseback to ride on. The Great Wall was built by hand and it took hundreds of years to finish.
Nobody knows exactly when the building of the Great Wall was started. It is believed that it was built to protect parts of the country during Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang joined the separate（分离的）walls built by the Qin, Yan and Zhao Kingdoms. The wall was not only for protection in the north, but it was also a symbol of China’s ancient civilization（文明）.
Today, many of the visitors go to see the Great Wall. When they stand on the top of a tower and look down on this wall, they can’t help saying, “Wow, that’s fantastic!”
1. Is the Great Wall the longest wall in the world?2. How high is the Great Wall?

He Yueling, a fifth-grade student, won’t go home right after school this term because after-school care programs become available in all primary and middle schools in Shanghai. He Yueling says he now does math homework much more quickly with the help of his teacher on this program. It’s quite common to find his school full of life before 5:30 p.m. every day. Students are learning to cook Sichuan food in the after-school cooking club, reading Harry Potter in the library, playing kung fu and other sports on the school playground.
Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, started free after-school programs in all primary schools in 2017. All 84 primary and middle schools in Beijing’s Dongcheng District are also on such a program with all its teachers and 80 percent of its students.
China Youth Daily did a survey, asking 1,605 parents how they feel about this program. A mother says with a smile, “I don’t have to rush to my kid’s school after work and I needn’t worry how to help him with his homework now.” Most parents love the program because it helps them out when they have trouble picking up their children after school. The survey shows more than 92 percent of the parents expect schools to organize safe and colorful after-school activities for their children. 73 percent of the parents want the program to cover on-site(现场的) question-and-answer activities, while about 70 percent hope teachers could guide their children with homework.
Headmasters say school teachers should mainly work for the program and that they also welcome outside helping hands from artists, experts, university teachers, experienced parents and volunteers. They believe that schools should not only meet the parents’ need, but also have more choices on activities to make the program not become after-school classes like Xin Dongfang and Xue Ersi.

To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it’s seldom used. Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions yon make! Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do? If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (needed for success.
1. What will you be like if you respect your own decisions? (no more than 11 words)2. Why do others no longer trust you? (no more than 7 words)

Do you think about what job you will do in the future? Of course, we may think about it even when we are young. We sometimes hear little children ask their parents, “What will I be in the future? Can I be a pilot (飞行员) or a basketball player like Jordan?”
When I am young, I dream of doing many exciting jobs. When I meet my best teacher, I hope to be a teacher having fun with so many students. After going to a concert (音乐会), I dream of being a singer some day to make people happy and love my songs. When watching the players playing so well in different games, I really hope I can become a cool player as they are.
Everybody dreams of getting a good job and our dreams may be different when we meet different people and see different things. But one thing should always be the same ─ that is to work hard. The more knowledge (知识) we learn, the more chances (机会) we will have in the future.
So try hard and learn as much as you can. Your future can be as bright as you hope.
