Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. “Somebody's got to stop that boy!” she was shouting, “Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny.”
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned a lot. “I didn't know that Danny was being picked on,” she answered．“He's never said anything about this to me!” Mrs. Green looked at Danny. “How long has this been going on?” She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him He hated to leave the just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.
The underlined word “gang” in the reading passage means ____.（ ）
根据第三段第三句可知，Danny不想仅仅因为Rick而离开gang。结合第二句，他们中的大多数人对Danny很友好，可以推断gang的意思是“一伙年轻人”。
