[A]

When I asked my mom why I was so short when I was 7 years old, she explained that I have

a medical condition called dwarfism (侏儒症).

At first, I was very sad. I wanted to be tall, mainly because of the way people reacted to me.

Kids would say mean stuff, like, “It's weird how you're so short.” In elementary school, whenever classmates would bully (欺侮) me, I'd run away and cry.

Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park, I'm not tall enough to go

on all the rides, so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.

I'm now in the seventh grade, and I'm four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It

doesn't matter! My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little. I met a girl at school named Nevaeh, who is my best friend, and she has helped me realize that it's not what's on the outside that matters — it's what's on the inside.

Nevaeh doesn't even mention my height when we hang out. In fact, if people tease us about

being short (she's only six inches taller than I am), we'll make jokes, like, “We're not short. We're fun-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I'd rather turn something cruel into something funny, laugh it off, and move on.

One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball, for example. Since

it's a sport associated with tall people, I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons, I didn't make a single basket! But then, during a game last year, I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets, I can do anything.

I'm not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.

[B]

There's a new kind of bullying on the block. Rumors (谣言), threats, exclusion (排斥), and

the lot have recently been accompanied by an equally dangerous but less overt (明显的) method of tearing other people down: body shame bullying.

Body shaming can affect anyone — regardless of gender or weight — and it's been observed

as a growing trend appearing in school cafeterias.

So what does this mean exactly? Kids and teens are pressuring one another to skip lunch or

eat much less food than they want. With judgmental looks and nasty comments, students intentionally make their schoolmates feel ashamed of how much they eat, leading some kids to go so far as to buy lunch and then throw it away.

In a recent survey of over 5,000 Canadian middle and high school students, researchers found

that teens who reported being bullied were more likely to skip meals. The bullying took place online or in-person. As scientists have previously linked bullying with depression, anxiety, and

eating disorders, it's not safe to brush off an occasional meal pass as an isolated incident; it's likely to become a repeated self-destructive behavior.

To help fight against this form of bullying, researchers suggest that schools prohibit students

from hanging out in the cafeteria if they're not eating, requiring parent permission forms if a student wants to skip lunch, and simply asking students what they ate for lunch, which may encourage them to discuss the issue. 5. Body shame bullying _____. A. mainly hurts young girls B. not only affects fat people C. is less dangerous than threats D. is a traditional kind of bullying

6. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “nasty” in Paragraph 3? A. Unfair. C. Unkind.

B. Brief.

D. Helpful.

7. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about body shaming? A. It can be very harmful. B. It always takes place in-person. C. It can be good for people's health. D. It doesn't always cause missed meals. 8. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Different forms of bullying. B. A discussion about bullying. C. How to avoid body shame bullying. D. What parents should do to stop bullying.

[C]
