Once a boy often made trouble. His mother gave him many nails（釘子）. She told him to hammer（錘，釘）one in the garden fence（柵欄） every time he lost his patience and fought with someone. The first day he hammered 27 nails. In the following weeks he learned how to control himself better and the number of nails hammered became smaller and smaller. He learned it was easier to control himself than to hammer nails.

The day finally came when he didn’t hammer any nails. He went to tell his mother about it. Then his mother told him to pull off a nail from the fence each time he didn’t lose his patience. After some days he told his mother that all the nails had been pulled off， so she took him to the fence and said to him， “You’ve behaved well， but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be again like it was before. When you fight with someone， you leave wounds（傷口）in him like these. The trouble may be over， but the wounds will always be there.”

So， learn to control yourself before you hammer the nail in the fence. Try not to leave any holes in your past.

1. Losing control may bring you ________.

A. good luck B. trouble

C. nails D. a hammer

2. The boy used to _______.

3. Why did the mother give her son nails?

B. He fought with others.

C. He wanted to do so.

D. His mother asked him to do so.

5. The writer wants us to ______.

It’s back to school time for kids in New Jersey, but it’s not back to bullying time. There is a new anti-bullying law in New Jersey starting this school year.

New Jersey’s law says bullying is not allowed for any reason. All public school workers, from teachers to headmasters, must be trained in how to prevent bullying. Schools must report any bullying at once, and they will be graded on how well they deal with the problem. New Jersey is one of 47 states with anti-bullying laws for schools. Only Michigan, Montana and South Dakota do not have such a law.

There are many kinds of bullying. It may include laughing at others, calling others names and leaving someone out. It can also be physical. The behavior happens over and over again, and can take place anywhere, from the playground to the Internet. It’s reported that nearly half of all kids will experience bullying in school, and at least 10 percent are bullied regularly.

Each year in October, many people begin to pay attention to bullying and try to do something to stop it. Many schools hold anti-bullying programs.

Will stronger anti-bullying laws change the behavior forever? Ken Trump, president of the National School Safety and Security Services, says no. “State anti-bullying laws do not provide more money, or other support,” he said. Some people note that they had strict anti-bullying policies in place long before the law passed. “The law will not change what we do, because we already take this matter very seriously,” explains Bruce Winkelstein, the headmaster of Brookside School in New Jersey.

You can do your part by treating others kindly and speaking out against bullying. Kids will make the biggest difference of all.

1.What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce the ways to stop school bullying.

B. To talk about the influence of school bullying.

C. To ask people to work together against school bullying.

D. To explain the danger of school bullying

2.How many states don’t have the anti-bullying laws for school?

A. 47. B. 50. C. 10. D. 3.

3.Which of the following behaviors is not bullying?

A. A student laughs at another one online.

B. A student hits another one without any reason.

C. A student asks others not to play with one student.

D. A student plays games with another student.

4.What does the underlined word “anti-bullying” (in paragraph 1) mean?

A. Against the bullying.

B. For the bullying.

C. Without the bullying.

D. With the bullying.

5.Who can play the most important role in anti-bullying?

A. Kids themselves. B. Lawyers.

C. Parents. D. Headmasters.
