The teenage years can be hard, and it is normal to feel sad from time to time. But if these feelings don't go away or become so strong that you can't deal with them, you may be suffering from depression. __1__
Try not to separate yourself from others.
When you're depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. But separating yourself from others makes depression worse. __2__ Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.

Avoid alcohol and drugs.
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your bad feelings, even if just for a short time. However, alcohol and drugs can only make you more depressed. __4__ You may even need special treatment for your problem.
__5__
Stress can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem hard to deal with. If you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about, see a doctor. If you're dealing with relationship, friendship or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.

语篇解读：本文主要介绍了中国文房四宝之一——宣纸。
1．existence 考查词形转换。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词等作宾语，故此处用名词existence作介词into的宾语。
2．by 考查介词。by hand意为“用手工”，是固定搭配，符合语境。
3．which 考查定语从句。which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词steps，在从句中作介词of的宾语。
4．to form 考查非谓语动词。此处为固定句型it takes sb. some time to do sth.，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”，it作形式主语，不定式作真正的主语。
5．themselves 考查代词。固定搭配devote oneself to sth./doing sth.意为“某人致力于做某事”，故用反身代词themselves。
6．the most difficult 考查形容词最高级。结合“There are a lot of tricks of filtering the fibers”和“of all”可推知，此处时间的控制是其中最困难的部分，故用形容词最高级形式修饰名词part，与下文中的“only”呼应。
7．extremely 考查副词。此处应用副词extremely修饰形容词small，在句子中作状语。
8．recognized 考查非谓语动词。recognize和句子的谓语proven之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词形式；且recognize和句子的主语the skill之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
9．a 考查冠词。此处为固定搭配a sense of ...，意为“一种……感”，符合语境，且great的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
10．has been taught 考查动词的时态和语态。根据“Since then”可知，句子中应用现在完成时；又因谓语teach和句子的主语Xuan papermaking之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态。
Ⅴ.应用文写作
你校拟举行一次主题为“Houses in the future”的英语演讲比赛。请你用英语写一篇演讲稿，谈谈你对未来的房子有什么样的畅想。
注意：1.词数80左右；
2．演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。
Good morning, everyone! It's my great honour to be here to share with you my opinion on houses in the future.
Thank you!
Ⅴ.参考范文：
Good morning, everyone! It's my great honour to be here to share with you my opinion on houses in the future.
I often imagine what houses in the future will be like. With the development of science and technology, houses in the future will be greatly different from what they are today.
Houses in the future will change their form and temperature as the season changes. What's more, they will be able to save you money on heating, and prevent energy waste. They will produce energy through their solar panels, which can be used to provide hot water, heat spaces in winter and air condition the house in summer. Besides, they change their colour at any time to satisfy their owners.
In short, living in a future house will be amazing.
Thank you!
