10、he heard, stared, blushed, and was silent. Her silence encouraged him to speak and tell her about his strong feelings for her.

Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot, so children have been modeled on suc
17、h violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullies 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) cant alter the bullys home environment. Some things can be done at the school level, ho
18、wever. 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 a wonderful tool that allows the
19、 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 childrens 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
20、not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyones 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
21、. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying.

Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?”
25、 You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is sit back and relax.How weird would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car?

26、afer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society in radical ways. Theres no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The
27、potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S involve human error.

In May 2015 there were 505,560 registered sch
29、ool bus drivers. The American Trucking association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S.The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displac
