Recently, people online have been selling verbal abuse (言语辱骂) “services”. An internet user pays the seller some money to abuse the victim (受害者) through social media. However, this is not right or legal (合法的).
To know more about this, Teens talked to Xing Junxia, a lawyer (律师) at the S&P Law Firm in Beijing.
In life, we may say bad words to people we don’t like. If it gets serious, it becomes verbal abuse. “The act of verbal abuse violates (侵犯) the victim’s rights,” Xing said. “These words usually hurt the victim’s right to reputation (名誉权), which can lead to civil liability (民事责任).” The attacker (攻击者) should stop this right away. He or she should also formally (正式地) say sorry to the victim. This is to cut down their influence of the abuse. Xing pointed out that both the attacker and the payer should bear civil liability because they do it together.
In more serious situations, the attacker will face administrative penalties (行政处罚). A man in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, who ran an online verbal abuse “service” and had abused 25 people, was recently caught. Although he knew it was illegal, he believed it was an easy way to make money. In the end, he was fined 500 yuan and handed over all of the illegal money he had got.
In the most serious situations, Xing said, verbal abuse can make the victim ill. The attacker should then face criminal liability (刑事责任). It means that he or she may spend time in prison (监狱), said Xing.

【推荐1】Do you know what birds use to build their nests (巢)? You may say that birds usually build their nests with sticks, leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish these years? The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags.
A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have special smell, so they can keep insects away to protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net (渔网) may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment.

The reports followed 44 health problems that are related to climate change around the world. They include heat deaths, infectious diseases (传染病) and hunger. “All of them are getting worse,” said Marina Remanello. She is research director of the Lancet Countdown project. “With globalwarming getting worse, doing nothing on climate and health will cost more than acting now,” one of the reports says.
The reports are called “code red for a healthy future”. One report is centred (集中) on the US and the other is centred on the whole world. The reports found some dangerous facts. At-risk populationslike older people and the very young are more easily influenced by high temperatures. For people over 65, the researchers found they stayed living in warm places where it is easier for some diseases to spread. For example, coast areas are warm enough for dangerous bacteria (细菌) to grow. In some poor nations the season for disease-spreading mosquitoes (蚊子) has got longer since the 1950s.
The research also found that 72 percent of countries saw an increase in wildfires. And in 2020, up to 10 percent of the world’s land surface was influenced by extreme(极端的) drought. In the US, the heat, fire and drought caused the biggest problems. The Pacific Northwest and Canada saw extreme heatwaves. An earlier study found that the heatwaves would not have happened if there were no human-caused climate change.

【推荐2】March 22 is World Water Day. Believed to be the source (源头) of all life, water plays a great role in the beginning of Chinese civilization (文明) and has inspired wise ideas in Chinese philosophy (哲学).
Chinese civilization is one of the world’s ancient river civilizations. It began thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers, linking the culture to water from its beginning.
However, the way people and water get along has two sides. Water is highly important for life and growing things, but if we can’t control it, it can cause big problems. Knowing the strong power of water, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way possible. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty (朝代), controlled floods by changing and digging the waterways so that the water could easily go into the sea.
The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was cleverly built. It makes full use of the natural features of the area without harming the environment.
Water is also given philosophical meanings to educate Chinese people and rule the country. According to Xunzi, Confucius (孔子) believed water had qualities such as justice and courage. He once said that: “He who is wise loves water; he who is virtuous loves mountains.” So, Confucianism suggests that people should learn from water and train their sense of morality (道德感). Inspired by water, Laozi gave birth to the idea of “overcoming hardness with softness and non-action”. These ideas later inspired rulers to follow the rules of nature and respect the will of the people.

【推荐3】“You totally missed out!” This sentences trikes(引起) fear in the hearts of many teens more than almost anything else you can say to them. In fact, missing out on something bothers some teens so much that there is even a special word for that sick feeling—FOMO.
In simple terms, FOMO stands for “fear of missing out”. It refers to that nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they were not invited, couldn’t attend, or they just did not feel like going.
Historically, people have always been concerned about where they stand socially. But with the development of social media, FOMO has become an even bigger problem, especially for young people who seem to always be online, checking status updates and posts by their friends. So, when young people miss a party, or do not go on a family vacation one summer, they can feel a little less cool than those who did and posted photos online. Meanwhile, a research suggests that people who experience FOMO are more likely to value social media.
Worrying too much about what everyone else is doing causes teens to miss out on their own lives. In fact, FOMO causes people to keep their attention focused outward instead of inward. This, in turn, may cause them to lose their sense of identity and to struggle with low self-esteem(自尊).
Fortunately, steps can be taken to curb your FOMO if it is something you experience. Rather than focusing on what you lack, try noticing what you have. Add more positive people to your feed; hide people who tend to brag too much or who are not supportive of you. If you feel you are suffering from feelings of missing out, it can also be helpful to reach out to a friend or spend some time thinking about the things you are grateful for in your life. Activities like these can help you gather a greater sense of belonging and release the anxiety of “missing out”.
It is important to remember that FOMO is a very real and common feeling among people of all ages. Everyone feels a certain level of FOMO at different times in their lives. So don’t let some party or social media post make you feel unworthy because you’re worth a lot more than you think you do.
1. What can we learn about FOMO according to the passage?| A．It often happens when you stay at home alone. |
