Therefore, bullying must be stopped.The best and most obvious way to stop bullying in schools is for parents to change the way they raise their children at home. Of course, this is much easier said than done and everyone raises their children differently. Bullies, however, come from homes where physical punishment is used and children have been taught that physical violence is the way to handle problems and “get their way”. Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot, so children have been modeled on such violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullie s’ lives and there seems to be little warmth.Early intervention (干预) is truly the best way to stop bullying, but parents of the victims or therapists(治疗师) can’t alter the bully’s home environment. Somethings can be done at the school level, however. Most school programs that address bullying apply a multi-faceted(多层面的) method to the problem.Hand out questionnaires to all students and teachers and discuss if bullying is occurring. Define exactly what constitutes(构成) bullying at school. The questionnaire is awonderful tool that allows the school to see how widespread bullying is and what forms it is taking. It is a good way to start to solve the problem.Get the children’s parents involved in a bullying program. If parents of the bullies and the victims are not aware of what is going on at school, then the whole bullying program will not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyone’s part. Bullying also should be discussed during parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Parental awareness is the key.In the classroom setting, all teachers should work with the students on bullying.英语试题第2页（共8页）Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying.

Is there any way to change that?Start by changing your opinion, says Caitlin Kelly, the author of Malled, a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism. “Don’t focus on what you’re not getting but what you are getting,” she says. “Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people. It doesn’t matter what the jobis –the re are always things you can learn and skills you can develop.”Hilary Pearl, the founder of a coaching firm, says, “Tell yourself the current situation isn’t the end of your career. Don’t overdramatize（过分夸大）the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically: life has a series of stages, and this is one of them. Don’t forget to study even in the worst stage.”Consider that because you’re overqualified, you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible.英语试题第4页（共8页）Of course, you may seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder. “You may be operating on autopilot（习惯性地）right now, but chances are that people above you are stressed,” Sarah Hathorn says. “ Take t hings off your boss’s plate and let him know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about.”Always express your request positively, saying that you love new challenges, rather than complaining that you’re bored and underused, says Ethun, the presi dent of the Park Avenue Group. In your down time, educate yourself about the company and its industry. “Read corporate information, analyst reports and related news articles,” she says. “If your boss accepts your suggestions, it will make you a more valuab le employee.”12.According to Caitlin Kelly, ______.A. one should be willing to do some small thingsB. being a salesman is not as important as being a journalistC. performing your regular duties well is importantD. doing a simple job well will bring you a sense of success13.What Hilary Pearl intends to express is that ______.A. work is just a stage of our whole lifeB. the present job doesn’t matter to us in a long runC. one should be satisfied with his present situationD. one should look forward instead of complaining about the present situation14.The underlined words “take things off your boss’s plate” mean______.A. draw your boss’s attentionB. share your boss’s burdensC. give your boss useful adviceD. ask your boss for a better position15.What is the common view about careers of the people mentioned in this passage?A.
