A bully(欺凌弱小的人) is a boy or a girl who acts mean (unkind) or hurtful to others, especially weaker persons bullies sometimes hit, kick, or push people, and they sometimes use words to call names or scare them. A bully might say mean things about someone, take a kid’s possessions or make fun of someone on purpose. Some bullies force people to do things they don’t want to do.
Why do bullies act so badly? Just to look for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or a way to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves felt more important-when they pick on someone else, it makes them fell big and powerful. Some bullies e from families where everyone around has a normal way to act. Some bullies are copying what they’ve seen someone else do. Some have been bullied themselves.
Bullying can be a big pain, but you don’t have to let bullying get the best of you. Sometimes just acting bravely is enough to stop a bully. If you walk by and hold your head high as though you’re not afraid, a bully may be less likely to give you trouble. Bullies want a big reaction to their meanness. Acting as if you don’t notice and don’t care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully’s behavior. If you are being bullied, it’s very important to tell an adult. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Don’t hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully, and it’s dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt.

(答案)D
解析：
【小题1】细节推理题。文章最后一段讲有时候勇敢的反抗是对付别人的欺侮的最好的办法。
【小题2】细节题，文章第二段提到Why do bullies act so badly? Just to look for attention.也就是说这些人欺侮别人的目的是为了得到别人的关注。
【小题3】猜词题，从上下文来看，要反抗的目的就是不要让恶人在欺侮自己的过程中占便宜。换言之，就是不要让别人站在自己头上欺负自己。
【小题4】主旨大意题。文章介绍了什么是bully，bully产生的根源以及如何应对bully，综合考虑，C应该全面一些，要讲deal with it就必须先介绍什么是bully，谈产生根源，然后才能进入主题。
