Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mum came to school and talked on and on about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. “Somebody’s got to stop that boy!” she was shouting. “Rick’s troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny.”
Mrs. Green, Danny’s teacher, was concerned a lot. “I didn’t know that Danny was being picked on,” she said. “He’s never said anything about this to me!” Mrs. Green looked at Danny. “How long had this been going on?” she asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble at school.
Danny hadn’t said anything about the problem because he wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.

Americans love sports . But this hobby sometimes has serious results—at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow(肘部). Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries(毁伤)happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.
A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation(手术)or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad
Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries.
For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens(镜头)inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.
Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.”
