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 _2_ grade 10 years ago．
In May I decided to plan something _3_ for the children; a Mother’s Day tea．We had put our heads together to _4_ ideas of how to _5_ 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 but very _6_ to learn that every mother was planning to attend．I _7_ invited my own mother．
Finally, the big day arrived．Each child _8_ up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom．_9_ 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 _10_．
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 _11_ if you could keep my mother _12_ while I’m busy．”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table．Jimmy _13_ my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had _14_ the day before．Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep _15_．
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 _16_ and an evaluation of our trip．Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if _17_ was completed．When I came _18_ 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 __19_ his own thanks and walked away．Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug．
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 Kaczynski 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．She 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 her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．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 cyberbullying, 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 age 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．
From the case of Tina, we can know that ．
A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lot
C．schools are to blame D．personalities are related
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．
Why is cyberbullying 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．
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
Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．Bullying—Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide
B．15-Year-Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide
C．Cyberbullying-Taking Off in Schools
D．How to Find Bullying among Teens

[2]Dave Weiss is a retired engineer. One day each week he volunteers at Georgian Forest Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, near Washington. He works with teacher Fred Tenyke on science projects for ten years and gets as much pleasure from helping the teachers as he does helping the students.
[3]Student Jada Lockwood says she enjoys Mr. Weiss' visits to her classroom. She likes the drawings he uses to explain scientific ideas.

He notes that science is an area in which many elementary school teachers have _________experience.In elementary school, for the most part, a regular classroom teacher is responsible for teaching science, along with reading and math, and if they don't have a strong science background, just by nature, they're going to tend to underrepresent science in the curriculum.
[6]American fifteen-year-olds scored about average in science among countries that took part in testing by the OECD in 2009. The OECD is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
[7]Dave Weiss says he is concerned about such results, but hopeful for the future for American students learning science. Fred Tenkye thinks volunteers like Dave Weiss are helping students do that.
