4 . In the physical world, bullying (欺凌弱小) is a problem. In some schools the same thing happens too. Both parents and teachers are very worried and try many ways to solve it.

But now it’s happening on the Internet too. People call it cyber-bullying. A 13-year-old girl from Chicago has her own idea to stop it.

The young scientist Trisha Prabhu, 13, from Chicago, is working on a project named Rethink. It tells people to rethink before bullying.

Trisha Prabhu’s study shows that over 50 percent of teens have experienced cyber-bullying. And 93 per-cent of teens won’t post (发布) hurtful things if someone tells them to rethink. Sometimes they just don’t know what they are doing.

And there is a reason. The prefrontal cortex (脑前额皮质) of the human brain isn’t developed fully until the age of 25. It controls decision-making.

In this class, not only children but also parents became the focus (焦点). Parents taught us by using their personal examples and we learned a lot from the examples. In my opinion, both family education and school education are part of education. But I think family education plays a very important role. The children are influenced by their parents during their growth. Every word and action of the parents will influence the children. As parents, they must give the children a good environment for their growth, they must be strict self-descriplined (自我约束), set a good example to their children. Teach children to correctly judge things, guide the children to grow healthily. Now every family generally has a child, and the child’s childhood education is every parent’s responsibility (责任), after all, parents are the first teachers of the children. For the healthy growth of children, hope all parents can set up the correct words and deeds, for children to make them proud.

Dragon boat races are held in many parts of China every year. Many dragon boat paddlers（船浆手）have hoped the sport can be one of the Olympic events for a long time.

Just as the race ended, the China Canoe Association gave Bach a model of the dragon boat as a gift.

This is the first time that the dragon boat race showed up at the Olympics. It has greatly introduced ancient Chinese culture to the world.

“I think that for the dragon boat performance at the Tokyo Olympics this time, we have taken a big step forward for the dragon boat to enter the Olympic Games,” said Yang Guang, head of the Chinese dragon boat performance team for the Tokyo Olympics.
