Bullying(欺凌行为) is a problem in many schools. Maybe lots of you have ever come across school bullies(小霸王). 【1】

Ignore the bully and walk away. It’s definitely not a coward's response—sometimes it can be harder than losing your temper. Walk tall and hold your head high. 2

Hold the anger. Who doesn't get really upset with a bully? 3 Bullies want to know they have control over your emotions. Work out your anger in other ways, such as through exercise or writing it down.

4 However you choose to deal with a bully, don't use physical force. Not only are you showing your anger, you can never be sure what the bully will do in response. You are more likely to be hurt and get into trouble if you use violence against a bully. You can stand up for yourself in other ways, such as gaining control of the situation by walking away.

Talk about it. It may help to talk to a guidance advisor, teacher, or friend. 5 Talking can be a good outlet for the fears and frustrations that can build when you're being bullied.

A.Don't get physical.

B. Take charge of the situation.

C. People above can give you the support you need.

D. Here are some things you can do to fight bullying.

E. Some adults believe that bullying is part of growing up.

【题目】How to Strengthen Your Willpower

Researchers find willpower is like a muscle—it may get tired from over use. So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES. 1

1. Ten minutes of reflection

Reflection will give you the fater results. 2 Researchers show that after just 2—3 days of practicing thinking for 10 minutes, your brain will be able to focus better, you will have more energy, and you aill be less stressed.

2. Work on your posture

Work on your posture for a 2-week period. Every time you catch yourself slouching(懒散), correct it by sitting up straight. This simple practice can vastly improve your perseverance.

3. Use your opposite hand

Select a chunk(块) of the day to use your opposite hand. 3 And from personal experience, if you aim for more than an hour, you will unnecessarily tire out your willpower muscle.

4. Correct your speech

Change your natural speech. 4 Again, it takes willpower to consciously go against your instincts. It doesn’t matter how you correct your speech, as long as you change natural speech habits.

To get started, select a chunk of the day to practice and choose the words you will change. Personally, I tried not using contractions during work hours and it worked very well.

Above are some effective ways to strengthen your perseverance. Do not try to do all at once. 5 You should start small and gradually build up as your muscles get stronger.

A. Training your willpower muscle is like training for a marathon.

B. This even includes resisting the urge to say “hello” instead of “hey”.

C. You will be more mentally strong.

D. With the right practice willpower can be strengthened.

E. It can make your brain focus and resist the urge to wander.

F. Be more conscious of your automic decisions.

G. It doesn’t need to be more than an hour in order to get results.

【题目】Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

When I was in Senior two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.

Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups(投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.

In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.

【1Different from other coaches, Coach Brian _____________.

A. concentrated on skill training
