• 3．Younger students experience school bullying（欺凌）more frequently than older ones，and male students are bullied more than their female peers，a survey found.
     It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates.About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day.The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions，and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.
     Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child's personal development and academic performance，according to ZhouJinyan，a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University.Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others.Zhou said.They may often feel anxiety，anger，resentment or depression.These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life？
     In recent years，bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern.The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing's Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School.A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates，causing him acute stress disorder.
     The Supreme People's Procuratorate（最高人民檢察院）received about 1，900 cases related to school bullying in 2016.Meanwhile，there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.
     Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem，including boosting communication between teachers，parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children.She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children's educational experience，as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.

  A．A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school.

• 4．My house is made out of wood，glass and stone.It is also made out of software.
     If you come to visit，you'll probably be surprised when you come in.Someone will give you an electronic PIN（個人身份號碼）to wear.This PIN tells the house who and where you are.The house uses this information to give you what you need.When it's dark outside，the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you，and then turns them off as you walk away from them.Music moves with you too.If the house knows your favorite music，it plays it.The music seems to be everywhere，but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music.If you get a telephone call，only the nearest telephone rings.
     Of course，you are also able to tell the house if you want something.There is a home control console（控制臺），a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
     The PIN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today.If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket.If I give you my car keys，you can use my car.The car works for you because you have the keys.My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
     I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
     I like to try new ideas.I know that some of my ideas will work better than others.But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new，and ask myself instead， "How will I live without them？ "
  
  （1）What does the passage mainly discuss？

  
  A．How to develop a new system.
  B．The function of the PIN.

  D．A home for the future.

  .

• 5．Why do people travel？There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this．
  To travel far enough to meet yourself
     Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere．（1）

  You find out your abilities．When you are offered a different lifestyle，you can find out what you are made of．The farther you go from your home，the nearer you come to your true self．
   （2）

  
     If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life，you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone．Travelling is dangerous，full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable，but at the same time，it gives irreplaceable memories．
  To slow down and relax
     A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life．Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure．While we are deeply involved in making money，we forget that time is going through our fingers．（3）

  The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness．The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy．（4）

  
  To celebrate life
     Life is short and the world is wide．One day you might wake up and realize that you don't have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do，anymore．Once in a while，make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive，young，free and healthy．（5）

  
  
  A．To become a storyteller
  B．Travelling lets you discover yourself
  C．To break through your comfort zone．
  D．So，go travelling to celebrate life itself．
  E．You can relate to the world and connect to others．
  F．And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure．
  G．Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money．

      Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel（爭吵）with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of the angry words from her mother.After she walked aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt hungry but had no money.She stood in front of a shop which sold noodles for several minutes，but she had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
      "Hey，girl，you want to have noodles？"
      "Oh，yes，but I have no money on me，" she replied.
      "Oh，that's nothing.I'll treat you today，" the owner said，"come in."
      The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
      "What is it？" asked the man kindly.
      "Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness！" said Jenny as she wiped her tears."Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！"
      Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your thanks to her？"
      Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock；she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands."Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的），but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
      On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
  Paragraph 1：
  Approaching the doorway，Jenny took a deep breath._______________________
  Paragraph 2：
  A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back._______________________
