Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable  1  when I was teaching second   2   10 years ago.

       In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to   3   ideas of how to   4   our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and   5   to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   6   invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child   7   up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.   8   it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking   9  .

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   10   if you could keep my mother   11   while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   12   my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   13   the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   14  .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   15   and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   16   was completed. When I came   17   Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   18   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   19   it.”

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had   20   stopped hugging teachers years ago.

An old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．

Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．Her said, “Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching(咬紧) her jaw and grinding(磨,咬牙) her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school.”

Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person． It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．

And now there is cyber bullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．

The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．

Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．

1.Which of the following is NOT bullying?

       A．To beat someone repeatedly．       B．To call someone names．

       C．To isolate someone from friends． D．To refuse to help someone in need．

2.Why is cyber bullying appealing to the bully?

       A．Because it can involve more people．    B．Because it can create worse effects．

       C．Because it is more convenient．         D．Because it can avoid cheating．

3.According to Susan Sweater,           ．

       A．bullies are anti-social      B．bullies should give victims help

       C．students are not equally treated       D．bullies themselves also need help

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

       A．How to wipe out bullying in schools.

       B．Bullying has a negative influence on students in US.

       C．Cyber bullying-Taking Off in Schools.

       D．Girl's suicide in US brings fresh attention to bullying.
