“Better Days", a movie about two teens who are constantly bullied(被欺凌), has brought new attention to school bullying.

A bully means to give you a hard time for no reason at all. A bully calls your names, takes your things and makes you feel afraid over and over again for a long time.

Surveys show that one-fourth of the US middle school students have experienced bullying.

Bullying can make you feel terrible. Maybe you are scared to go to school, or can’t eat or sleep. What can you do? First of all, remember to be proud of who you are. Don’t take the bully’s mean words to your heart. Also, keep in mind that it’s not your fault, it’s the bully who has the problem. If you can, ignore the bully, hopefully he or she get bored and stop. If these things don’t work, tell your favorite teacher and your parents about the bullying.

And, of course, never be a bully. If you don’t like someone, be nice anyway, and the world will be a much happier place.

What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it’s “autumn”. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both “autumn” and “fall”. Why does this season have two names in English?

According to a Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops(庄稼) would become ripe and farmers would have a big harvest(丰收). So in old English, this season was simple called “harvest”.

Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. Wish fewer people farming, the word “harvest” become less useful English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it “the fall of the leaf” or “fall” for short.

But at the end of the 1600s, autumn from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumns”, came to England. It gradually replaced(替代) “fall” as the word for this season.

At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words “fall” and “autumn” with them. That’s why today’s Americans have two names for one season.
