Bullying （欺凌） is doing things to hurt other people．It is a serious problem at school．
Miah﹣now a 22﹣year old girl，still （61） （remember） how she was bullied in junior high school．"They kicked me，put sticks in my hair and took money from me．Even worse，I （62） （make） to eat rubbish．I will never （63） （forget） those moments．"
Miah is not the only case．I saw another bullying situation when I was a student．Some students bullied a handicapped （智力低下的） girl every day﹣hitting，pushing，and kicking her．They just enjoyed （64） （do） it．The girl didn't realize that people （65） （hurt） her．She couldn't even tell the teacher．The situation lasted for a long time．
Bullying at school is getting worse，so，many people （66） （try） to start
anti﹣bullying（反欺凌） programs．Students in many schools have already taken actions．They （67） （create） anti﹣bullying clubs．Many students have joined the clubs．They work with teachers to show students how to stop bullying．Some other programs have proved to be successful，too．
In Wales，two girls came up with an idea to stop bullying on the school bus．They created a bus pass （乘车证） and made four rules for students：no bullying，no swearing（骂脏话），no smoking and no shouting．Whenever a student broke a rule，he would get a mark on his pass．When a student had four marks，he wouldn't be allowed to take the bus anymore．The bus pass idea worked．It （68） （stop） bullying on the bus．
In Michigan，some students tried to stop bullying with friendship．They made DVDs．They gave the DVDs to students in their school （69） （ teach） them how to be good friends．This idea worked，too．After that，there was less bullying at their school．
School programs like these （70） （help） bullies learn to behave properly and
they can also help prevent school bullying．I think it will come to a stop if everyone does something．
One day，I took my daughter to the park．As soon as we got there，my daughter （81） （run） to the swing （秋千）and asked for a push．When I was helping my daughter，I noticed another girl trying to make her own swing （82） （go） high by herself．Her old grandmother was
sitting on the chair nearby and smiling at us．Gradually，my daughter （83） （push） higher and higher by me．
Then I walked towards the little girl．I asked if I （84） （give） a big push to her．She smiled and said"Yes"．For the next hour，I pushed the swings，and played with my daughter and the little girl．When we went home，I （85） （be） tired but very happy．
One day two years later，after a day's work，I went to pick up my daughter before going home．
While I （86） （wait） outside the school gate，a little girl smiled sweetly at me and gave me a big hug．As I watched her （87） （run） away，I realized that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park．
So far，I （88） （not forget） her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me．
In fact，if we give love to others，love （89） （find） its way back to us．It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom （开花）in the heart．The love we share，the kindness we （90） （give），and the happiness we create will come back to us with a pleasant surprise．
Clothing（服装）is a language．We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture．
Africa has a long history and a rich culture，and this is shown in traditional dress．The three colours一red，gold and green，are often used in the clothing．The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom； the second，rich resources of the African earth； and the third，the grassland of home．
Because clothing has strong social meanings，people are very careful in choosing what to wear．It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes，or to dress in the wrong way．For example，in Ghana，a woman should wear her waistband （腰带）differently according to the importance of the social event．
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life．African designs are famous for loose（宽松的）clothing．The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night，so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life．
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa，traditional African dress is still quite valuable．This is because it has deep cultural meanings．

（74）H ，most people cannot do this．It is too far from their homes to their offices．They have no （75）c but to drive to work．First，these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cats for two to four hours each day．Second，driving is challenging，（76）e in rush hours，and needs too much attention．It makes a person （77）t out．When these people arrive home after work，they don't want to take exercise．
Some western countries，such as the United States，have problems with exercise．Many people don't have enough exercise．They have to work from morning till（78）n ．so they don't have time to take exercise．
Today，many people in the West are fat，which causes health problems，Doctors say exercise can help people both lose （79）w and improve their health．So many people are trying to get more exercise．But it takes time to change，and when people don't see a （80）d right away，they will lose heart and stop exercising．
