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？

As a Chinese student， （2）你应该了解一些有关丝绸之路的事．
（3）Long ago，traders brought treasures from the East to the West． Trips to the West became more favorable when traders found silks and spices（香料）． These treasures were not ordinary goods that were easy to get．
