    Many people think of bullying (欺凌) as one child pushing or hitting another, but bullying is not only physical.

When I was in junior high, the girls in my class would laugh at me. Once a girl looked at me and announced loudly, “I don’t want to sit next to her!” Their comments didn’t hurt me physically, but they did make me feel terrible.

Bullying is a widespread problem in schools, and some adults even have to deal with it at work. 1.

Be kind

You may not think of yourself as a bully, but do you make jokes at others’ expense? If the other person isn’t laughing, your words or actions may hurt more than you think.

Many bullies were once victims (受害者) of bullying or faced other difficult experiences and now bully others to feel powerful. 2. Instead, get rid of your pain by treating others well. Despite your experiences, being kind will make you truly powerful.

Speak up

3. Many bullies are motivated by a desire to look cool, so if you tell them you’re not impressed, they’ll stop. If they don’t, walk away, and tell an adult about the incident.

Stand tall

If you’re being bullied, don’t try to face it alone, but ask a parent or other trusted adults for help. Similarly, in places where bullying happens, stay close to a friend since bullies often aim at people who are alone. 4. Leaving will keep you safe.

Finally, remember that what is happening is not your fault. The terrible things bullies say reflect who they are, not who you are. You are valuable for who you are, and nothing anyone says or does can change that. 5.

A.Bullying is a common school problem.

B.What can you do about a big problem?

C.But anyone can take action to stop it.

D.When you’re being bullied, walk away calmly.

E.If that’s you, don’t make up for it by hurting others.

F.If you notice one person bullying another, please tell them to stop.

G.When you meet people weaker than you, remember they are valuable, too.

    A recent study showed that disordered eating has negative effects on health including lower self-evaluation of health, which isn’t too surprising. What was really shocking was how common the disordered eating behaviors seemed to be in our culture.

Individually, these behaviors aren’t something to be overly concerned about, but when they add up, it became a roadblock to healthy living. Ask yourself the right questions to find out if you, too, have gone beyond healthy habits and worry about your weight.

For example, starchy(含淀粉的) foods can make people feel uneasy about eating them. Sometimes an ingredient, like fat, causes anxiety, even if it’s used to make healthy foods like olive oil. If you’re skipping foods and blaming it on an allergy(过敏) reason, but your real motivation is to lose weight, that’s a red flag.

A strict eating schedule might seem like a smart way to provide structure throughout your day, but overdoing it can leave you feeling hungry.

Not having control over how your food is prepared can be a concern, especially if you have food allergies. It’s when that anxiety is baseless and prevents you from otherwise enjoying a night out that it becomes a problem.

Tracking calories can be a useful tool to understand which foods are rich in calories, which ones aren’t, and what calorie range you should be eating. If it becomes overbearing, it’s no longer a healthy method. It’s the right way to pay attention to your hunger and satiety(饱足), and rely on those to decide when to start and stop eating.

Disordered eating is common, but it’s not harmless. Seek out help if you see yourself in these behaviors, and make sure you recognize the signs that you’re already at a health weight.

1.What does the underlined part “a red flag” in the third paragraph mean?

A.A good means. B.A negative attitude.

C.A warning sign. D.A normal situation.

2.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Tracking calories can be a useful tool to keep fit.

B.Disordered eating is common but harmful.

C.Skipping foods won’t help you lose weight.

D.Knowing how your food is prepared can be beneficial.

3.If you have disordered eating problems, you’d better ______ accordingly.

A.avoid starchy foods B.lose weight

C.prepare your food well D.turn to the doctors

4.The author proves her point by ____________.

A.using examples B.making a comparison

C.asking and answering D.analyzing causes and effects

    “If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big environmental problems in the world.”

That’s what Thomas Lovejoy, a well-known biologist, says. He helped introduce the term “biological diversity” to the world. And he long ago predicted that by the early 21st century, the Earth would start losing a surprising number of species-a prediction, unfortunately, that is turning out to be true.

We were taken with what Lovejoy said about birds and decided to use it as a launch pad(跳板) for marking 2018 as the Year of the Bird by National Geographic. Hopefully, this will help raise people’s awareness of this problem. In this 12-month multiplatform exploration, we’ll examine how our changing environment is leading to great losses among bird species around the globe. And just as important, we’ll record what we can do about it.

At National Geographic we’ve been looking at the planet’s health from a bird’s-eye view for a long time. This magazine has featured birds on its cover more often than it has featured other popular creatures-at least 30 times, 13 times compared with apes. And the National Geographic Society has awarded hundreds of funds(资金) for the scientific study of birds.

In 2018, we’ll take our coverage of topics affecting birds to a new level. In this issue we launch a year of storytelling with “Why Birds Matter”, an essay by best-selling author Jonathan Franzen. It’s paired with remarkable photographs of birds created by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.

Why is National Geographic focusing so much attention on birds? That’s just another way of asking, as Franzen does. Why do birds matter? Among his fluent answers: “They are our last, best connection to a natural world that is otherwise moving gradually away from us.”

1.Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Bird?

A.To introduce different kinds of birds.

B.To record what we can do to help birds.

C.To draw public attention to the loss of bird species.

D.To examine the environmental influences on birds.

2.What is “Why Birds Matter”?

A.It is a magazine with many essays. B.It is an article with many photos.

C.It is a report with many topics. D.It is an organization to raise money.

3.What can we know about National Geographic from the passage?

A.It focuses more on birds than other creatures.

B.It receives sums of money to research on birds.

C.It’s the last connection between man and nature.

D.It’s popular with famous biologists and authors.

    I like staying overnight at my granny Ruiz’s house until she starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her.

That’s why I wasn’t too excited when granny called me to “come on over”. When I got there, it was worse than I expected. Maya sat there, all dressed up.

Maya was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago. She was talking about how nice to see me again. But I could tell that she didn’t really think so.

I couldn’t remember what it was I didn’t like about her. The last time she was there, we’d had hours of fun together. After that, I’d heard about her only through granny’s tales. Now Maya looked great with the latest haircut and a beautiful dress. I glanced down at my jeans and sneakers. It was bad enough that she was granny’s favorite-smarter and more talented than I was-but elegant, too? This was too much.

Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts, “I hear you like skating,” I was surprised, wondering how she knew about my skating.

“I hear you take piano lessons,” I countered. A funny look crossed her face and she nodded.

“I hear you were captain of your softball team,” she said.

“Wait a minute,” I said. “How do you know this?”

Maya shrugged and looked down. “I hear about you all the time from granny’s letters.”

“Granny tells me about you all the time, too!” I said. “I even know you wear a size-three shoe!”

Maya laughed. I also smiled, knowing now that granny had two favorites.

1.We can infer that the author felt ______ every time granny talked about Maya.

A.excited B.curious

C.surprised D.uncomfortable

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Maya and the author hadn’t met each other for about four years.

B.They both knew a lot about each other through their granny.

C.Maya was happy about the get-together but the author wasn’t.

D.The author loved sports, such as skating and playing softball.

3.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Fun Time with Maya B.Granny’s Favorite

C.Our Loving Granny D.A Surprise Get-together

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ariana caught another whiff(难闻的味道) and tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking. Ariana felt trapped. She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn't smell very good. But how could she do that without hurting her feelings? Instead, she gathered the remains of her lunch to throw in the trash, thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air. She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly. Ashley's hair was tangled(乱糟糟的) , and her clothes were dirty. Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat, vowing(发誓) that she would not sit with Ashley tomorrow.

When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mother, ''There's a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad. ''

''She's probably having a tough day, '' said her mother.

''No, it's not just one day. She smells bad a lot, '' Ariana explained. ''Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either. ''

''I don't think you understand Ashley's situation, so let me ask you this..., '' Her mother's tone was serious. ''Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you'll look nice when you go to school? ''

''You do, '' answered Ariana.

''Who makes sure you're bathed and cleaned every day? And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed? ''

''You and Daddy, '' Ariana said again.

''Do you live in a nice home? Do you have enough to eat? ''

Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty. She was starting to understand now. Ashley couldn’t help her situation because she was only seven years old—the same age as Ariana. Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.

''Why doesn't her family take better care of her? '' Ariana asked.

''Not all children live in the best situation, '' her mother said. ''The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and sympathy. ''

注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
