2018年高考英语专题四任务型阅读第三步模拟演练(二)Word版含答案模拟演练(二)A(2017·南京四校联考)Today,knowledge can be found in any place.With the Internet having become accessible to nearly everyone,it’s now possible to study and get knowledge on any subject without having to attend college,or going for a university course.However,as convenient as it may seem,can learning on your own really match or be even better than traditional education?In the following lines,we examine the advantages of formal education as well as being self-educated.Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you’re able to save a lot of money.T oday,to get a degree,one has to spend thousands of dollars on college fees,books,transportation,etc.However,being self-taught means that you don’t have to pay most of these expenses.You’re only required to spend on important books.Learning by oneself is quite likely to require much time.However,it’s possible to learn faster on your own,by conce ntrating on only those areas you’re interested in.Besides,by being self-taught,you’ll be able to avoid unimportant subjects and instead concentrate only on those that are necessary for the field you want to get into.What’s more,unlike a formal education system,there are no set rules when you choose to self-educate.You aren’t supposed to read a particular book,watch a video,take a test,etc.,at particular times.This lets you manage your study timebased on your own convenience.You can thus work full-time and at the same time learn part-time,which makes you gain income as well as valuable real-time work experience.However,there are also advantages of formal education.For example,you can get a college degree which means you’ve achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field.Many companies tend to prefer those who have a college degree.So,if you possess a degree,you naturally gain an advantage over other people while looking for a job.College and university curriculums are designed to offer as complete a level of knowledge on the subject as possible.These curriculums are based on tried and tested methods,which make sure you get to learn a subject in the best,and the most complete manner.Being formally educated also means that you’ll get into a college or university,where you will be guided by learned teachers and other subject experts.Thus,both formal education and self-education have their own advantages.Neither is better than the other.In the end,the choice between the two comes down to personal preference and situation.Self-education and Formal EducationB(2017·南通一模)What have we become?A society in which someone can have hundreds of online friends and yet go for days without human contact.We scan;we click;we text people in the next room instead of speaking to them;we even check our library books out by ourselves when once we might have chatted to a friendly person with an ink pad and a date stamp.Loneliness can be dangerous.Recent research suggests that it may shorten people’s lives and make them more vulnerable to serious illness.It can distort(扭曲) senses of reality and even become an element that drives a few desperate young men toopen fire on a cinema audience or a classroom full of children.Electronic voices on various devices can be the only ones some people hear.And what those voices say is not always true.No man is an island,we are frequently reminded.There are those who choose to lead solitary(孤独的) lives,and live them well,but on the whole we are sociable beings and we suffer if we are on our own too much.Human contact makes us happier,although virtual relationships can be very positive.So what could lonely people do to make real friends?An answer,among many,is to read more books.Reading begins alone but becomes a shared activity when a reader,for example,joins a book group,attends a literary festival or signs up for a continuing education course on an aspect of literature that interests them.There’s no shame in turning up to any of these alone,and fellowship is guaranteed.Fellow readers may well turn out to be like-minded;it’s a basis for new friendships and sustained relationships.Sharing an understanding of a book is a good way of sharing feelings safely.Literary characters can be useful as personas.But there is another important reason why everyone should read more books,and in particular fiction.The responsibility to fight loneliness lies with those who do not suffer from it.Lonely people often feel that there is no one who understands them or can share their point of view.They need to know that actually there are.That requires everybody else to make the imaginative leap of feeling that connection,and reading fiction helps.It makes people more empathic(移情)—sympathy for fictitious(虚构的) characters can translate into compassion(同情) in real life.The stories of strangers reach us through many means:not only news bulletins,interviews,biography and memoir(回忆录),but also drama and fiction.Walking a mile in their shoes might help turn some of those strangers into real friends.C(2017·南京、盐城一模)Until about 18 years ago,it was widely assumed that most of brain development occurs in the first few years of life.But recent research on the human brain has shown that many brain regions undergo prolonged development throughout adolescence and beyond in humans.This advancement in knowledge has increased old worries and given rise to newones.It is hugely worrying that so many teenagers around the world don’t have access to education at a time when their brains are still developing and being shaped by the environment.We should also worry about our lack of understanding of how our rapidly changing world is shaping the developing teenage brain.Decades of research on early neurodevelopment suggested that the environment influences brain development.During the first few months or years of life,an animal must be exposed to particular visual or auditory stimuli(听觉刺激) for the associated brain cells and connections to develop.In this way,neuronal circuitry(神经元回路) is shaped according to the environment during “sensitive periods” of brain development.This research has focused mostly on early development of sensory brain regions.What about later development of higher-level brain regions,which are involved in decision-making,control and planning,as well as social understanding and self-awareness?We know these brain regions continue to develop throughout adolescence.However,we have very little knowledge about how environmental factors influence the developing teenage brain.This is something that should concern us.There’s a lot of concern about the hours some teenagers spend online and playing video games.But maybe all this worry is misplaced.After all,throughout history humans have worried about the effects of new technologies on the minds of the next generation.When the printing press was invented,there was anxiety about reading corrupting young people’s minds,and the same worries were repeated for the invention of radio and television.Maybe we shouldn’t be worried at all.It’s possible that the developing brains of today’s teenagers are going to bethe most adaptable,creative,multi-tasking brains that have ever existed.There is evidence—fromadults—that playing video games improves a range of cognitive functions such as divided attention and working memory.Much less is known about how gaming,social networking and so on,influence the developing adolescent brain.We don’t know whether the effects of new technologies on the developing brain are positive,negative or neutral.We need to find out.Adolescence is a period of life in which the brain is developing and shapable,and it represents a good opportunity for learning and social development.However,according to UNICEF,40% of the world’s teenagers do not have access to secondary school education.The percentage of teenage girls who have no access to education is much higher,and yet there is strong evidence that the education of girls in developing countries has multiple significant benefits for family health,population growth rates,child mortality rates,HIV rates as well as for w omen’s self-esteem and quality of life.Adolescence represents a time of brain development when teaching and training should be particularly beneficial.I worry about the lost opportunity of denying the world’s teenagers access to education.。
2018高考仿真卷·英语(四)第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had” — the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,explores mind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.A Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.Letter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.C.The Art of War gives definition of philosophy.D.A Room of One’s Own is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomedto.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,the warm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal Biology Letters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at theopposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2017·浙江名校模拟冲刺卷)Here's another reason to get off the couch and start working up a sweat. Time the exercise right and you could improve your ability to remember something new. That's the finding of a new study.But it all comes down to timing. To lock up the new information, start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new information. That's according to researchers at an institute on brain, cognition (认知) and behavior. It's at Radboud University's Medical Center, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eelco van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 people. Each learned the location of 90 objects on a computer screen. Afterwards, some of the members watched relaxing nature videos. Others worked up a sweat on body-building bikes, changing between hard and easy riding for 35 minutes. Their workouts came either soon after the cram session (考前突击复习) or four hours later.Two days later they were tested again. Those who remembered the objects' sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning before riding. Among those who remembered sites correctly, the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for memory. It's known as the hippocampus (海马区). The consistent activity here suggests that the memories had been strong, the scientists say.Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memory magic. They do, however, have a guess. Aerobic exercise leads to the creation of several important chemicals in the brain. One is a protein known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help convey messages between nerve cells. These two chemicals may help strengthen memories by linking brain cells, the researchers suspect.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了锻炼与记忆力之间的关系。

【全国省级联考】黑龙江省2018届高三普通高等学校招生全国统一考试仿真模拟(四)英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择The Truth Can Set You FreeI recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention,and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him,and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, I’m not,” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to reregister yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He to ok a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.” He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat lie on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without direct ly calling me a liar.

The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument wit h his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about tofall apart.When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water? Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The ship then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book. 8.Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?A.Because he had quarrels with the crew members.B.Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.C.Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.D.Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.9.We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 . A.lost its way while sailingB.lacked fresh water upon arrivalC.was being navigated by SelkirkD.was running out of food upon arrival10.How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?A.By asking the crew members on the ships.B.By sending messages to the ships’ captains.C.By watching from his shelter high on the island.D.By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.11.The author wrote the text to .A.explain the origin of Robinson CrusoeB.promote sales of Robinson CrusoeC.criticise Alexander Selkirk’s deedsD.praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration二、七选五Moving abroad can be a challenging experience.

模拟演练(四)A(2017·苏北四市摸底考试)Among the natural creatures that can present a threat to people in rural areas of Mexico,one of the most productive is the scorpion(蝎子).These relatives of spiders kill dozens of people each year and injure thousands more.However,scorpions have become a part of the local culture and tradition.In the Durango city main market,scorpions are in evidence at every turn.There are books,key chains and lamps decorated with dead scorpions. There are scorpion images on T-shirts and hats and there are even candies shaped like scorpions.The whole place seems to be filled with the crawling creature.In one corner of the market,Chelo Garcia even sells live scorpions.She says she has experienced two scorpion stings(蛰) in the recent years and that nothing happened.She says that if a person has no symptoms of poisoning with 30 minutes of the stinging,it is likely that nothing bad will result.She says some scorpions have little or no poison and so luck plays a big part.It is hard to explain why people come to MsGarcia’s store to buy live ones,but she does a good business.She often reaches down through the top of the glass cage to catch one of the scorpions to show her customers.She holds them by the tail,where the barbed stinger(刺针) is located,so that she is safe from attack.In the crowded market,many people pass by Ms Garcia’s store to look at the crawling creatures and to relate their own stories of encounters with the scorpions.One old woman says she nearly died when she was a girl of 18 years old and has been afraid of scorpions ever since.She said her tongue became numb(麻木的) and her throat began to swell shut,common symptoms of the scorpion poison.She says she survived because God protected her.Every year in Mexico about 200,000 people are stung by scorpions.The number of annual deaths was nearly 300,till 2015,but a public health campaign and the widespread availability of anti-poison have cut the number of deaths to less than 100 a year.The state of Durango alone accounts for ten percent of all the scorpion stings in Mexico each year.While the scorpion may be regarded as disgusting and horrible by many people,it has also become a bit of a local mascot(吉祥物)in Durango.People there seem proud of the fact that their city is known as the “scorpion capital”.B(2017·常州期末)Feet of ClayIn 604 BC,the second year of his reign(统治),Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which left his spirit no rest and robbed him of his sleep.So he ordered that wise men of Babylon be called to interpret the dream for him.They answered the king,“O king,live forever,tell to your servants your dream,and we will declare the interpretation.” The king said,“The thing is gone out of my mind.Unless you tell me the dream,and the meaning of it,you shall be put to death.But if you tell the dream,and the meaning of it,you shall receive from me rewards,gifts,and great honour.”Unluckily no one could fulfill the task.Hearing this,the king was in great anger,and commanded all the wise men of Babylon be put to death.When Arioch,to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon,told the matter to the Prophet(预言者) Daniel,he immediately went in to the king and begged for the time to resolve the question.After some mysterious praying,Daniel went to Arioch and said,“Do not destroy the wisemen of Babylon,bring me in before the king,and I will tell the solution to the king.”The king said to Daniel,“Can you really tell me the dream that I saw,and the interpretation of it?” Daniel replied,“The secret that the king desires to know,none of the wise men,or the philosophers,can declare to the king.But there is a God in heaven that reveals mysteries,and he wants you to know what is going to happen.”“To me also,” Daniel added,“this secret is revealed,so I can reveal your dream.”Then Daniel began,“You,O king,saw a great statue:this statue,which was great and high,stood before you,and the look was terrible.The head of this statue was of fine gold,but the breast and the arms of silver,and the belly and the thighs of brass(黄铜).And the legs of iron,the feet part of iron and part of clay.Then suddenly you saw a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands,and it struck the statue upon the feet that were of iron and of clay,and broke them into pieces.Then was the iron,the caly,the brass,the silver,and the gold broken into pieces together,and they were carried away by the wind.There was no place found for them,but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”“This is the dream.We will also tell the interpretation to you.” He continued,“You are a king of kings,and the God of heaven has given you a kingdom.But as you dreamt,the toes of the feet were part of iron,and part of clay,the kingdom shall be partly strong,and partly broken.That means you will not rule forever.The other parts of the statue represent other kings that will come after you.The big rock stands for the kingdom God will set up.It will destroy all other kingdoms and it will last forever!”Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face,and worshipped Daniel,and commanded that wise men of Babylon be pardoned from death.And the king made Daniel governor over all the provinces of Babylon,a much higher position than his former one.C(2017·江苏姜堰、如东、沭阳、前黄中学二模)If you have a daughter,take the time to read this.It could save her a lot of heartache,not to mention stomachaches,headaches,missed days of school,lower grades,eating issues and depression.The sad truth is that every school,whether public or private,has mean girls.I bet you can still even remember who they are from your school.As a school consultant and mother of three daughters,I know first-hand both personally and professionally how much it hurts when girls are targeted by bullies(恃强凌弱者).The old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me”couldn’t be further from the truth.While boys usually bully through intimidation(胁迫),girls bully through exclusion,also called relational aggression.Here’s an example of a case of relational bullying,taken from my experience as a school consultant:Heather was miserable because a girl in her class,Leslie,was not only saying mean things to her face,but getting the other girls in the class to exclude her with the old line:“You can’t be friends with me,if you’re friends with her.” In our sessions,Heather would complain that she didn’t have anyone to play with because girls were afraid that if they hung around with herthey’d become Leslie’s next target.In order to improve the situation,I had to not only reduce the power Leslie had,but empower Heather as well.Here are some ideas that help,adapted for use by parents:Ask for specifics when your daughter mentions bullying.Who?Where?How?Tell the principal and classroom teacher the specifics of how she is being bullied.Have them tell other teachers(i.e.,gym,art,music),hallway monitors and cafeteria staff so that everyone who comes in contact with her can be on the lookout and ready to interfere.Explain to her that reporting an incident is not the same as tattling(打小报告),and have her tell an adult at school when she is being bullied.Teach her to convey self-confidence by walking confidently,with her head up.Bullies target those they think are weaker.Arrange opportunities for your daughter to socialize with her friends outside of school to help her maintain a strong social support system.In Heather’s case,these steps relieved the problem.But because it’s tougher to catch girl bullies,it’s extremely important for girls to tell an adult if they are being bullied.Unlike boys,who usually bully physically,mean girls often spread rumors,whisper as their target walks by,talk loudly about a party she wasn’t invited to,give her the silent treatment,and as discussed above,tell others not to be friends with her.School personnel are there to help,but in order to do anything they must know a problem exists!。
