Bullying includes laughing at people, taking someone’s things without asking, not letting someone play in a group and hitting people.

Bullying on the Internet is called cyber-bullying and it includes sending mean messages about someone, sharing someone’s personal information without asking and not letting someone be part of an online group.

If someone is very mean to you at school, tell an adult who you know and believe in. For example, talk to a parent or a teacher about it. If a person sends you mean messages online, you can block (拉黑) him or her. Ask an adult to help you and don’t reply to the messages.

Where would you go if you needed to find out about the capital of Brazil? Where would you look if you wanted to see funny cat videos? Where would you share pictures of yourself with friends? The Internet, of course! Yes, the Internet is good for all these things and millions more. The Internet has made the way we live our lives more convenient than it was in the past.

Along with the good comes the bad, though. If you think the Internet is a safe place, then think again. Like in the real world, some things might be harmful on the Internet, so it’s necessary to learn how to stay safe online.

First, you should never give out your personal information online: your name, your address, your phone number, your birth date, etc. Check with an adult before providing any of this information for anyone.

Second, choose email addresses and screen names carefully. Make sure they don’t reveal personal information about you. For example, don’t use your real name as your screen name. Passwords (密码) should also be nearly impossible to guess.

Third, remember the Internet has a way of spreading things around quickly. Anything you post might be seen by everyone and remembered forever. If you wouldn’t want a friend or parent to see something, it’s probably something you shouldn’t post in the first place.

Finally, don’t do or say things online that you wouldn’t do or say in person. Treat others the way you want to be treated—both in the real world and online. If you ever feel like you’re being cyberbullied (网络欺凌), be sure to report it to an adult!

It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050.

One reason for this is the weather change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected numbers from 27 countries and places that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that weather change has made growing conditions in 21 of these countries better. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量）has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（每公顷）.

However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing.

Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype （基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌）in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana farm catches the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Have the scientists found a cure for this disease yet? No.

根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词）

Wuxi city in East China’s Jiangsu province is known as the “Home of the Erhu”, because it is the b___66___ of many Erhu masters. Walking around Wuxi, you can often hear the wonderful s___67___ of the erhu. The erhu was f___68___ called Huqin, a musical instrument in northern China, which dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In modern times, with the development of Chinese operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and later it s___69___ throughout China.

The erhu plays a l___70___ role in many Chinese folk orchestras (乐团), just as the violin does in Western orchestras. The erhu and the violin also have s___71___ parts, both made up of a body, a bridge, strings and a separate bow.

The player usually holds the erhu on the leg, holding the neck with his left hand and pressing the strings with his f___72___, while drawing the bow with his right hand. As the bow runs a___73___ the strings and vibrates (使振动) them, beautiful music leaps out. Not limited by just two strings, a good player can give erhu amazing expression. It can present both soft, lovely tunes, and grave, sorrowful music.

Today, as an oriental folk instrument, erhu can be seen playing on the same stage with various Western instruments, such as piano, violin and guitar, in many international c___74___. This not only adds new possibilities for music creation, but also brings r___75___ enjoyment to the audience (观众). If you’re interested, you might as well find a piece of erhu music and listen to it!
