1 . Gang (团伙) tensions were rising at Southwood High School. Some community activists held a(n) _______ meeting with parents and the principal. A group of the fathers _______ decided it was time to make their _______ known on campus.

That’s how Dads on Duty was born with its goal — make sure the kids are safe. Around 40 men organized into six-person shifts, with two shifts on campus every day. They _______ the day after the meeting. These people _______ their own schedules and commitments without complaint. Some of them are fathers of kids at the school, while others are not but expect the youth in their community to know they have an entire village behind them.

Now, anyone who wants to enter the school with _______ will have to avoid energetic papa bears, big smiles and many dad jokes. It’s hard to be a tough guy when somebody’s uncle has just _______ you into checking your shoelaces for countless times, only to find that they are not, in fact, untied.

Since Dads on Duty arrived on campus, gang battles have dramatically declined. “The school has been happy, you can feel it,” said one student. Another told the Washington Post, “They _______ all the kids like we’re their own children.”

3 . When a Houston dad found out his eight-year-old son was being bullied, he didn’t get mad at the classmate who teased him. Instead, he talked with the so-called bully and realized that the boy was struggling, too.

Aubrey Fontenot’s son, Jordan, told him a boy named Tamarion was teasing him. Fontenot decided to sit down with his son and Tamarion to understand what was going on, and something unexpected happened.

Tamarion told Fontenot he was being teased at school, too. “I asked, ‘By who? You are big. You are huge. Who is teasing you?’” the father said. “He said, ‘Just all the other kids, man. They are making fun of me.’” Fontenot learned that Tamarion was getting teased for his clothes and shoes — his clothes and shoes were old and dirty. Fontenot then spoke to the boy’s mother. “She kind of confirmed it,” Fontenot said. “And she said, ‘That’s the kind of situation.’”

He felt sympathetic to the young boy and wanted to help. So he asked Tamarion’s mom if he could take her son to do some shopping.

Fontenot posted videos of their trip to the mall on social media and they went viral. Tamarion eventually smiled, and then the two were laughing and singing together on their shopping trip. Just as if he were taking his own son to do some shopping, Fontenot got Tamarion new clothes and shoes, and shared words of wisdom with him.

Then, the dad united the two boys. He said it was awkward at first — just a day earlier, they didn’t get along well at school. But the two classmates started playing sports games together and soon became friends. It was not just about the clothes and shoes. Tamarion gained a friend in Jordan, and a mentor in his dad. Fontenot said he was also bullied when he was a child, so he knew it was important to listen to Tamarion’s story. He chose kindness instead of anger and brought the two boys together. “I wouldn’t say that was the goal, but that was the reward,” Fontenot said.

1. What was Fontenot’s attitude toward his son’s being bullied?

A．Amazed and embarrassed.	B．Angry and impatient.
C．Calm and sensible.	D．Sad and discouraged.

2. What did Fontenot do to solve the problem of bullying?

A．He turned to the school for help.

B．He made the two boys united and join together.

C．He asked Tamarion’s mother to settle the problem.

D．He ordered his son never to play with Tamarion again.

3. What can we know from the text?

A．Fontenot communicated with Tamarion’s mother to know about him.

B．Jordan’s being bullied arose from his clothes and shoes.

C．Jordan and Tamarion got along well in the beginning.

D．Tamarion’s mother paid little attention to Tamarion.

5 . Bully for you

The makers of a hotly debated computer game about bullying have decided to go ahead and put it into market despite calls for it     1    (forbid). In the game, players take on the role of a new student at a school and have to fight the bullies, by striking them or hitting them     2     a baseball bat.

Critics have said that the game encourages     3    (violent). The makers, however, disagree and say that, while the game might be a little violent at times, it is just an     4     (amuse) look at school life. Besides, they argue that the fighting in the game       5    ( direct) against the bullies to protect students who are being bullied. The makers also say that the players will learn to stand up to bullies,     6     use their strength or power to hurt or frighten other people. “Nobody should bully others just because they want to feel stronger or    7    (important),” said the makers.

A British politician, a former minister, has called for it to be banned as it might have     8    negative influence on the way young people think of violent behaviors.

Anti-bullying     9     (charity) that fight against school bullying have said that the game might make people respond violently to bullies, which might make things more complicated and result in injuries. In other words, people     10    (possible) get hurt because of the game.

6 . Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量标准)in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -----“That’s not a problem here,”-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity（关注）, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
