    Every school seems to have a “bully”(欺凌). In fact, bullying goes on in schools all over the world. Bullying is a common situation at school. We need to get to know more about bullying.

    Who gets picked on? Bullies pick on people they think don't fit in—someone who doesn't “look the same” or isn't as “smart” or as “rich”. For example, shy kids often get picked on because of their characters. Physically hitting someone is the most obvious form of bullying, but insulting(侮辱), gossiping(说闲话) and making fun of others are also usual forms of bullying.

    What can you do to stop bullying? If you are the bully, think about how your actions hurt others. You can't build yourself up by putting others down. When you're feeling stressed or angry, find acceptable ways to deal with your frustrations.

    If you are the victim, tell a trusted adult and get some help. Many times adults can find ways to solve the problem. Here are some wise suggestions:

● Ignore(忽略) the bully and walk away.

● Hold your temper. Maybe the bully wants you to explode.

● Don't fight physically. It may lead to more violence.

● Practice confidence even if you have to pretend it.

● Talk with parents or teachers about it. They are sure to help you solve the problem.

● Make true friends at school. That may be helpful.

    Once upon a time， there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips (郁金香) in her garden.

    One night，the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips， but she could see nothing.

    The next morning she walked among her flowers， but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

    On the following night she was again wakened (弄醒) by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy (精灵) mother was singing softly， and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby， laughing and playing.

    The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on， she never picked a tulip. She didn't allow her neighbours to pick the flowers ， either. When the old woman died， all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave (坟墓) looked beautiful， because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.

    Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings and senses, including Love, Happiness, Sadness and Wisdom lived. One day they were told that the island would sink(下沉), so they all got on boats and left except Love.

    Love was the only one that stayed until the last possible moment. Finally, Love decided to ask for help.

    Wealth was passing by Love in a beautiful boat.  Love said, "Wealth, can you take me with you?"

    Wealth answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room for you."

    Love decided to ask Pride, who was also passing by in a beautiful ship. "Pride, please help me!"

    "I can't help you, love. You are all wet and might damage(损坏)my boat," Pride answered.

    Sadness was close by, so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

    "Oh…Love, I'm so sad. How can I take someone else with me?"

    Happiness passed by Love too.  But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called out to her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I'll take you." It was an elder. Love was so excited that he forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at the river bank(河岸), the elder went his own way. Love was grateful to the elder, so he asked Wisdom, another elder. "Who helped me?"

    "It was Time," Wisdom answered.

    "Time?" asked Love.

    Wisdom smiled and replied, "Only Time can understand how valuable you are."
