The middle school years are a pivotal (关键的) period in a person’s development. Students at this stage are confronted with a multitude of pressures, such as academic workload, interpersonal relationships, and familial expectations. If not managed properly, these pressures can have detrimental effects on students’ mental health. Therefore, paying attention to the mental well-being of middle school students is of utmost (极度的,最大的,最远的) importance. Mental health is not just the absence of illness, it encompasses (包含) an individual’s emotional regulation (个人的情绪调节), self-awareness, and social skills.
A student with good mental health is more likely to focus, actively engage in learning, build positive relationships, and thus achieve success in both academics (学习,学术) and life. Schools and families should work together to create a supportive environment for middle school students. Schools can help students understand and cope with psychological issues by offering mental health education courses and establishing counseling services (建立咨询服务). Parents can support their children by listening and encouraging them to face challenges, fostering their self-confidence and resilience.
Ultimately, we must recognize that mental health education is an indispensable part of middle school education. By raising awareness of mental health, we can help students build stronger psychological qualities, laying a solid (坚实的) foundation for their future development.

Have you ever bought Genki Forest sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free” The company recently said that they were sorry for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”, but this is not the same as “sugar-free” Now the company has changed the word “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottle.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar, Sucrose in just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as Iructose and sugar alcohol, are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners. They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why low sugar drinks like Genki Forest are popular who want to lose weight. They believe that they can not only enjoy sweet drinks but also avoid taking in too much sugar.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, they send your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the low-sugar soft drink has little energy, the brain will not receive what it is expecting. At this time, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many low-sugar drinks might lead to fatness and many other diseases. It’s time for you to think twice when you want to keep up with the fashion.

Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, we have picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let's take a look.
Can eating carrots improve your eyesight
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won't help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.
If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too
Myopia (近视) can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there's a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it's down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.
Do color blind people see the world in black and white
Color blindness doesn't usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can't tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths (波长) of light. If these cells don't work properly, color blindness occurs. There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light. However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.
24.According to the article, eating carrots ______ .
A. stops the brain from seeing B. doesn't help you see better at all
C. will help you see clearly in the dark D. is good for your eyes to some degree
25.If both parents have myopia, their child's chance of having good eyesight is ______ .
A. 40-67% B. 33-60% C. 23-40% D. 6-15%
26.What is the cause of color blindness according to the text ______
A. Watching movies for too long. B. Getting too little exercise.
C. Cone cells not working properly. D. Changes in the wavelength of light.
27.What is the purpose of the article ______
A. To offer some advice on protecting your eyes.
B. To clear up some misunderstandings about our eyes.
C. To provide help for improving your vision.
D. To explain how bad eyesight and color blindness form.
