New rules and behavior standards（标准）for middle school students came out in March．Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students
are．The best students won't only have high marks．They will also be kids who don't dye their hair，smoke or drink．The following are some of the new rules．
Tell the truth．Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do it again! That's not what an honest student should do．If you have played computer games for two hours in your room，don't tell your parents you have done homework．
Do more at school．Good students are kind to other people and love
animals．April is a bird loving month in China．Is your school doing anything to
celebrate? You should join! That way，you can learn more about animals and how to protect them．When more people work together，it makes it more fun for everyone．
Have you ever quarreled 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，not only yourself．
Be open to new ideas．Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe we will discover Earth Ⅱ some day．Don't look down on new
ideas．Everyone's ideas are important．You should welcome them，because new ideas make life better for everyone．
Protect yourself．Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you．If you have to go home late，you should take care of yourself and let your parents know．
Use the internet carefully．The internet can be useful for your studies．But something on the internet isn't good for kids，so try to look at Web pages that are good sites for children．Here are some：http：//kiks.Dastday.com；http：//www. chinakids.net.com.

It’s 2011．You feel sick, so you go to the doctor．She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you’ve been thinking about lately． When you leave，she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily． She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness．
Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way that do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it．You know that your brain(大脑) is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system（神经系统）．Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body．
Stress（压力，紧张） is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your
life．Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody’s life is perfect．In fact, stress is necessary． Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change．We would probably be bored to death．But too much stress can hurt you． It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases．It can even make you more likely to have an accident．
When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline（肾上腺素）．Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat． Today you have a different kind of stress．Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can’t fight or run away from, so you don’t use up all that adrenaline．It just stays bottled up inside you, and that’s what can do something bad to you．
What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren’t under so much stress．You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends．But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation．Sometimes you don’t even want to． A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful．
The link（关联） between your body and brain works in two ways．Your body can help your mind deal with stress．If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body．It’s important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals．Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day．Another thing that you can do is daily exercise． If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your body a chance to burn up(烧掉) some of that adrenaline．Of course, a person who isn’t used to much physical activity should start slowly．Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before staring any exercise programs．
81. Who says that the way you think is causing some of your illness?
A. The scientist. B. The doctor. C. Father. D. Nobody. 82. A psychologist is a person who may help you with your ______． A． illness and abilities B． thoughts and behavior C． body and nervous system D． physical activity and daily exercise 83. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A． You shouldn’t go to the gym if you are under stress． B． One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline． C． Diseases and accidents are caused by stress． D． Everyone needs stress to improve himself．
84. From the underlined sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer(推断) that ________． A． it’s difficult to change a stressful situation B． it’s not stressful when a good change takes place C． a big change will cause another stressful situation D． a stressful situation can’t be changed without any hard work 85. What is probably the best title（标题） for this passage? A． The body-Brain Link B． The Causes (原因) of Stress C． The Advice on Health D．Doctors and Scientists
