Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter (木匠) . He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates , too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.
But Jim's one great shortcoming (缺點) was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush (臉紅) even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practise lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away .
One morning, however, he didn' t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn't ended till the early hours of the morning. And so far the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. He spoke in a high voice. “Hello, ”he said nervously (神經(jīng)緊張地). “I'm afraid Jim can't come to work today. He isn't feeling very well. ”
Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn' t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling (發(fā)抖) and his face was bright red.
“Thank you for letting me know, ”said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “Just a moment, madam, who' s speaking”.
“Oh! ”he stammered (口吃地說), and going all out for making a voice like a woman, he cried in a loud voice: “This is my landlady speaking!”

New rules and behaviour standards (行為規(guī)范) for middle school students have come out. The 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 smoke, drink or dye (染) their hair. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something that 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 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! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it is more fun for everyone.
Have you fought 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 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.
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 let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t good for kids, do try to look at Web pages that aren’t good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can’t you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some: http://kinds.eastday.com / http://www.chinakids.net.com / http://www.cyenct.com
【小題1】The new school rules will help kids by telling them __________.
| A．how they can study well | B．what is right and what is wrong |
| C．what they should do at school | D．how they can protect themselves |
| A．learn how to be a good basketball player |
| B．discover if people could live on the moon |
| C．know how to love animals and other people |
