Exercises:

1. Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively


impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One
essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of
social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include
verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be
directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Justifications and rationalizations for
such behavior sometimes include differences
of class,race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, body
language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability. If bullying is done
by a group, it is called mobbing. "Targets" of bullying are also sometimes referred to
as "victims" of bullying.

2. MIAMI Three boats collided near a Miami marina around the end of a fireworks
display, killing four people and injuring a dozen others in a chaotic scene that left
bodies and survivors tossed overboard.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the crash Friday night near the
Dinner Key Marina in Miami, with officers plucking several people out of the water.
The boaters were believed to have been out celebrating the Fourth of July
independence holiday.
Rescuers were alerted by one of the boaters at about 10:45 p.m. He said hed been
hit by another vessel and that his 36-foot (11-meter) pleasure craft was taking on
water, authorities said.
We kept getting report after report of more people in the water, Miami Fire Rescue
Lt. Ignatius Carroll said.
Eight people were initially transported to Miami hospitals. Two of them, a man and a
woman, later died. Relatives of a third victim found her body in the water on
Saturday, and a fourth body was located later by investigators, authorities said.
The victims names and ages werent immediately released.

3. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by immoderate food restriction,
inappropriate eating habits or rituals, obsession with having a thin figure, and an
irrational fear of weight gain, as well as a distorted body self-perception. It typically
involves excessive weight loss and is diagnosed approximately nine times more often
in females than in males. Due to their fear of gaining weight, individuals with this
disorder restrict the amount of food they consume.

4. It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season,
that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had
been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting party-striped
dress and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. I was so pleased to
see him that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand.

I said to him -- "My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. How remarkably well you
are looking to-day! But I have received a pipe of what passes for Amontillado, and I
have my doubts."

"How?" said he, "Amontillado? A pipe? Impossible? And in the middle of the
carnival?"
"I have my doubts," I replied; "and I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado
price without consulting you in the matter. You were not to be found, and I was
fearful of losing a bargain."

"Amontillado!"

"I have my doubts."

"Amontillado!"

"And I must satisfy them."

"Amontillado!"

"As you are engaged, I am on my way to Luchesi. If anyone has a critical turn, it is
he. He will tell me" --

"Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry."

5. Out from the marsh, from the foot of misty


Hills and bogs, bearing Gods hatred,
Grendel came, hoping to kill
395 Anyone he could trap on this trip to high Herot.
He moved quickly through the cloudy night,
Up from his swampland, sliding silently
Toward that gold-shining hall. He had visited Hrothgars
Home before, knew the way
400 But never, before nor after that night,
Found Herot defended so firmly, his reception
So harsh. He journeyed, forever joyless,
Straight to the door, then snapped it open,
