Reading is fun． When you read， would you like a paper book or an e﹣book（电子书）？ Some people choose e﹣books， some love paper books， and others prefer reading both．
Li Ming， a university professor（教授）， is busy doing some research． So he is often on business．
When he is at the airport or on the train， he especially loves reading e﹣books． He also likes reading paper books in the library for his research work． Besides， he enjoys the smell of the paper books．
What's more， Li Ming would like to read with his family． There is a reading time from 8： 00 to 9： 00 each Friday evening at home． Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books． One Friday evening． Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson， "Lei Lei， this is the first book your grandpa gave me． There is his name on the front page． Whenever I read it， I can get something new from his notes． And I can still remember the happy life we lived together．" Li Lei said， "But I enjoy reading e﹣books． E﹣books need no paper． Many forests will be saved．" Grandma advised． "Don't read for a long time， or your eyes will get sore．"
Different people have different ideas about e﹣books and paper books． No one knows whether e﹣books can replace（代替） paper books or not． Somehow， books are our friends． No matter which kind of books you choose to read， you can learn more about the world through them．
（1）Do all the people prefer reading e﹣books？
（2）When is the reading time in Li Ming's family？
（3）What does the old paper book mean to Grandma？
（4）Do you think e﹣books will replace paper books in your life？ Why or why not？
New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle Schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever cheated in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something honest students should do.
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 it? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect (保护) them.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth in space in the future. Everyone’s new ideas are important.
Protect yourself. Has a thief ever taken money form one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go back home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your study. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at the good web pages (网页). You can use the web pages for fun or homework.

Shanghai No. 8 Middle School began to use the new bell this term. It helps teachers remember it is break time. The new bell has three parts. The first part lasts 15 seconds. It is made up of lovely folk music. Next, there are 20 seconds of silence. The final 25-second bell is a fast-paced march (快节奏进行曲) that seems to tell each teacher, “You have to end class now”
All the students welcome the new bell. Chen Yong, a student, said, "We tried many ways to stop teachers before, but nothing worked. It's better now. When the folk music is on, teachers know that class is going to be over in one minute. "
