An old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．

Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．Didn't want to go to school．"

Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person． It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．

And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．

The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．

Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．

         A．bullying is rare                     B．victims suffered a lot

         C．schools are to blame                   D．personalities are related

         C．Because it is more convenient．               D．Because it can avoid cheating．

A mystery shopper is not a professional spy. Mystery shoppers are the secret eyes of service companies that need reliable judgment of their market competitiveness. However, earning an income as a mystery shopper is a legal job to assess the qualities of the service of a company, and help it grow and succeed. In other words, mystery shopping is about making truthful value judgment of the friendliness of the shopping environment, the helpfulness of the frontline stuff, the abilities of the shopping assistants, etc. You should be able not only to observe all these and make logical conclusions about your overall customer satisfaction, but also to remember details and watch out for particular signs. In the end, you will be asked to write down your impressions, either on paper or on line.

  To be a successful mystery shopper, you need to meet some requirements. First you should feed the company that hires you with correct and reliable information about your shopping experience. Besides, you also need basic writing skills. You should write in a simple and understandable way, but still show both your overall impressions and the details you are asked about.

  Don’t worry if you are a new mystery shopper—the company that hires you should provide you with instructions how to complete your shopping tasks. If the company does not provide you with prior(预先) training, you should doubt that it might be a mystery shopping test which you should be careful with. Therefore, you should always get instructions about the mystery shopping rules that you have to follow; about the things you should watch out for; about the way to fill in and present your response, etc.  Becoming an experienced mystery shopper pays well. As you’re likely to get more invitations, earn greater income, and be contracted by more mystery shopping companies.
