On March 16,2018, eight -year-old Tanitoluwa Adewumi, known as Tani, defeated 73 young competitors to win the New York State Chess Championship in his age category-kindergarten to third grade. While the achievement is remarkable in itself，what makes it even more so is that the youngster，who was homeless at the time，began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017,seeking protection. An organization helped find the family four spaces in a homeless shelter and soon after，Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part-time teacher. Attracted by the game，the then seven-year-old begged his mother，Oluwatoyin ,to allow him to join the school's chess club.Concerned the family would be unable to afford the fees and expenses，which add up to thousands of dollars，Oluwatoyin emailed Russel Makofsky，who ran the club. To her surprise and delight，Makofsky agreed to waive all costs for young Tani. The rest，as they say，is history. The young boy，who has got seven prizes in less than a year，currently ranks 27th in America in his age category.
Though the chess club certainly helps, it is Tani's devotion to the game that is largely responsible for his great success. Not surprisingly, Tani's incredible story，first reported by The New York Times，has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. It has raised $200，000 in just ten days ，far more than the original goal of $50 ，000 ，and the funds keep coming.
Since they now have a home，the Adewumis have decided to \it forward\and donate the over $200,000 collected on GoFundMe. They plan to give 10 percent of the funds raised to the oraganization that has supported them. The rest will be placed in the newly-created Tanitoluwa Adewumi Trust and given to African immigrants to America who are struggling the way the family was.
4. What made Tani's achievement especially remarkable?
A. His quick learning. B. His young age.
C. Support from his family. D. Help from his teacher.
5.What does the underlined part \
A.To teach Tani free of charge B. To raise money for Tani's family. C. To pay for Tani's schooling. D.To spend more on Tani's training. 6.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Reports of the media. B. Activities of the chess club.

A child who suffers bullying(霸凌) usually has low self-esteem and their ability to learn and be successful at school is greatly lessened. 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 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) can’t alter the bully’s home environment. Some things 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 a wonderful 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. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying. Children understand modeling behaviors and role-play and acting out bullying situations is a very effective tool. Have students role-play a bullying situation. 8．In the author’s opinion, bullies usually _____________. A．have extremely high self-esteem B．know little of the harm of violence C．look forward to parental involvement D．experience or witness violence at home
9．What does the underlined word “alter” in paragraph 3 mean? A．understand B．change C．remove D．approach 10．Paragraph 5 suggests that it’s important to ______________. A．make a punishment program effective B．let parents know their children are bullies C．find the key to improving security at school D．make parents conscious of bullying at school 11．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to stop bullying in school. B．What leads to violence in schools.
