What can you do?
If someone is not kind to you, tell an adult that you know and like. For example, talk to a parent or a teacher.
If you get bad messages, don't reply. You should save them and give them to your teacher, your family, or the police. Ask an adult for help. Don't share anything before you make sure it is true. That will help stop the cyberbullying.
Talk to your parent or teacher or an adult if you see bullying or if you are worried about a friend.
Say sorry if you are not kind to someone. You can write a message or talk to the person.
And always remember: think about how to be kind in the future.

He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his bag. The strong man sat at the table, drinking lemon juice and pretending to look at travel brochure（小册子）. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes.
As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a "thank you" and looked at me briefly.
I tried not to stare at the tiny scar（伤疤）across his left eyebrow. I walked back inside. shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite recognize him. Then it hit me. In the car accident one year ago, the mysterious（神秘的）stranger helped me out of my smashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.
I moved his plate and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply indebted to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to robbing a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in perspective（观点）. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.
I was stunned. The night of my car accident. I was heading for an interview in a shady dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and brought faith back into my life.
I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand with a pen mark underlining "In God We Trust". I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
If you want to travel to a unique place to see some fall leaves, you might want to visit Mt. Koya in Japan. Koyasan is home to 117 temples（寺庙）. In the fall, the Japanese maple （枫树）leaves turn deep red and orange colours. Among them are the 1,200-year-old temples and halls that were designed by Kobo Daishi, the founder of Shingon Buddhism.
Visitors to Koyasan can spend the night at a temple. For dinner there is traditional Buddhist food called shojin-ryori. In the evening you can enjoy the gardens or relax in the baths before bed. The rooms have the paper doors typical of traditional Japanese buildings, often with a garden view. If you wake up early, there is a morning prayer（祈祷）at 6 a. m. and anyone can join before heading to breakfast.
In the centre of the temples is a cemetery（墓地）. As you walk on the path you'll see a deep well. The legend says that if you can see your face clearly in the water, you will live a long life. Further on there is a special stone which they say is as heavy as your crimes. You can try to liftit with one hand to see how heavy it is!
As you pass through the cemetery you will see some small stone men wearing bibs（围裙）and hats to keep them warm in the cold air. These are called Jizo, and they stay between Earth and the afterworld. They protect travellers, pregnant women, and also young children and babies before birth, during life, and after death. The reason they wear red bibs is because of their connection with the pronunciation of baby in Japanese.
Some of the monks at the temples speak English, and there are English-speaking guides who do tours of the cemetery, so you can practise your English on your trip.
Every new exercise routine comes a new risk of injury, whether it' s injuring a muscle from lifting or developing knee pain from running. Some people are unwilling to exercise for fear of in-jury. There are estimated 8.6 million sports-related injuries each year in America. However, with the right methods, you can develop a well-rounded exercise routine, one that enlarges the benefits while reducing the risk of injury.
One very common issue in runners is knee pain, which is often called " runner' sknee" . To prevent it, for some people, it' s useful to warm up before running. Another common overuse injury among runners is stress fractures（骨折）. This often happens when a runner tries to add too many miles too quickly, without taking enough rest days.
Both of these injuries tend to happen because runners did something out of the ordinary com-pared to what they were trained to do. Take rest days, build up your mileage（里程） gradually and combine regular strength training.
As with other injuries, the risk increases toward the end of a workout. It' s very essential to listen to your body. When it comes to making progress in a workout routine, continuous exercise with a gradual progression is strongly recommended.
Exercise can put someone at risk of injury. There should be a balance between pushing yourself to get better and pushing yourself toward an injury. So encourage yourself to do some-thing that you are confident in doing.
A. These fears are based on facts.
B. Turn to a mixture of sports doctors.
C. This type of exercise can increase the risk of injury.
D. Therefore, the risk of hurting yourself will decrease.
E. But not exercising puts someone at risk of poor health.
F. Adjust in time, especially when tiredness starts to affect your form.
G. Runners may come across two main sorts of injuries related to overuse.

All of them went extinct in the wild and all of them came back, thanks to reintroduction pro-grams.
Conservation scientists use translocation and captive breeding（圈养繁殖） to re-establish animal populations that have died out in the wild--either entirely or in certain areas. Reintroducing extinct-in-the-wild animals to their native territories can be a double win: helping to restore dam-aged ecosystems, as well as increasing population numbers.
But setting a species loose in the wild is a risky balancing act. Reintroductions often take years and involve multiple stages. Before bringing back a species, conservationists have to evaluate the threat level—both to and from the animal—and the role it played in the ecosystem. In places where wild populations have died out more recently, there' s a better chance of success. The less time that has passed, the more likely that environment is the same as when the species went ex-tinct. But scientists still need to address the reason why it went extinct in that environment to be-gin with.
Reintroduced animals can have a positive impact on the landscape, but how fast this happens depends on the type of animal and how damaged the environment is. Herbivores（食草动物） can make a significant change relatively quickly, while predators tend to be reintroduced slowly and carefully. Although they can be useful for managing pest species, conservationists have to ensure they don' t overhunt or threaten other vulnerable animals.
A 2020 study highlighted species reintroduction as one of the most effective ways to save endangered animals. The study estimates that conservation action between 1993 and 2020 saved up to 48 species of birds and mammals from extinction, and that the rate of extinction would have been three to four times higher, during that period, without those efforts.
A new device is helping those who are blind to see. Jason Esterhuizen lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But now with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grew brighter.
He says, " I still can' t put it into words. I mean from being able to see absolutely nothing, it' s completely black, to all of a sudden seeing a little light move around." It is not full or normal sight, but Esterhuizen can move about in the world around him.
Dr Nader Pouratian says, " Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence."
The new technology—called Orion—uses several parts. One is a small device placed in the brain. The other parts are a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device that can be carried in a person' s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor（处理器）and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain. The pattern helps users detect（识别） movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.
Pouratian says this technology is a first. " We basically have the video camera and the video processing unit performing the functions of what the eye normally does," he adds.
Esterhuizen says that now he can do everyday activities around his home that he once could not. " Crossing the road is much easier and much safer for me because I can look down and just follow the white line that' s painted on the road."
The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma（青光眼） or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
" Are you really going to eat another piece of pizza?" It was at my fourteenth birthday party that I received my first 1 related comment. After that day, comments like this 2 in my head longer than they should have. I was 3 picking flaws（缺点） in my figure in the mirror.
I decided that I couldn' t eat like this in order to be 4 . It started out as just a little extra 5 every day, like running, but it quickly turned into 6 meals and working out every night before bed. As I 7 the calories, the comments started to change. Perhaps my 8 comment was " You' re so skinny."
Maybe others didn' t know it, but their comments were 9 my social construction of beauty. However, my condition slowly became worse. My caloric intake was less than that of a child and I no longer had the 10 to do the things I once enjoyed.
Everything changed when I got a call from the director at my dance studio. She 11 me that she had wanted to move me to the advanced level, 12 she noticed I was too skinny. I then realized I nearly 13 my role in The Nutcracker. I was determined that I wasn' t going to let society' s idea of beauty be the death of me.
I want to get better for real this time. Mirrors and scales（秤） have no 14 of who I am. Social constructions of beauty will always be 15 in the world that I live in but I' ve decided not to let them rule over me.
Learning Chinese calligraphy was listed as one of the must-do things when I came to China. Now, I' m in the course of learning this unique art, is valuable in China, even across East Asia today. It is not only 57. _ ancient artistic form of human language, but it also (reflect) Chinese traditions.
As someone who paints, draws, and loves all (create) things, at first, I assumed I would be rather good at Chinese calligraphy. I was (total) wrong. Using thick brush tips to produce awkward brush strokes（笔画） (be) very difficult for a beginner. I have no idea about the different types of calligraphy and the meanings (hide) behind each one. Also, I have to hold the paintbrush a very specific way, unlike a pen or pencil, the paintbrush is held upright in the hand. I need to be extra careful when changing the angle（角度） or (direct) of the brush, especially if I press too hard on the paper.
After taking the lesson, I now understand the difficulty of calligraphy and that it will take efforts and commitment (master) this art form. Yet, I am grateful to learn such a special Chinese tradition.
