Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly ...

Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.

Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered the reason: she had been bullied(欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive(辱骂) messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK. Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt by online bullying, including unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures.

The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well — and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.

To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.

Here is some advice to keep yourself safe on the Internet:

1. Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.

2. If you experience online bullying, the best response to a bully is no response(回应) at all.

3. Keep a record of anything that shows proof(证据) of online bullying, like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.

1.What did Sophie do when facing bullying on the Internet?

A.She told her teacher about it. B.She isn’t willing to go to school.

C.She had no interest in studies. D.She would never sit in the corner.

2.The underlined word “discovered” in paragraph 2 most probably means _________.

A.find out B.hide C.protect D.work out

3.What action has UNICEF done to help with online bullying?

A.Respecting all the people around.

B.Improving young people’s studies.

C.Training teachers and parents to prevent bullying.

D.Keeping a record of anything that shows proof of online bullying.

4.How does online bullying trouble young people?

A.Make them willing to go to school. B.Make them unwilling to ask for help.

C.Make it easier for them to communicate. D.Make it impossible for them to hurt themselves.

5.Why does the writer write the report about online bullying?

A.To study the problem of online bullying.

B.To help teachers deal with students’ problems.

C.To tell people what UNICEF has done for children.

Li Haoqin is a 14-year-old girl in Sichuan. She studies English very hard. Every day, she listens carefully in class and does many exercises after class. However, in last exam, her score(分数) of 68 made her very sad. “Why didn’t I get a good grade though I worked hard?” Li said to herself.

Lots of middle school students are facing this problem—they try their best at something but can’t make it. “They don’ t have effective(有效的) learning ways. This is the main(主要的) reason for their difficulties,” says Bi Qin. Bi Qin is a well-known English teacher in Beijing No. 4 High School, a key school in the capital city.

For example, making sentences with new words is an effective way to learn.”

Lin Pingyi, a 13-year-old girl from Shanghai, has a habit of reading. “I like reading English novels(小说) like The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. While reading I take notes,” says Lin. “This way, I can remember more words and improve my reading and writing.”
