At some point in life, many people suffer a mental problem. While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that about 20 percent of children and teenagers across the globe suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of children and teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of disease, disabilities and even death.
The reason for mental problems among young people may be the increasing pressure in life. Study and relationships have always caused huge stresses for school children. For instance, they experience school bullying(欺凌)and academic pressure.
In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About 30 million Chinese children and teenagers under the age of 17, or 10 percent of children and teenagers in China, have a mental health challenge, reported China Daily.
Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't seek help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they admit that they are in trouble. Many Chinese people are ashamed of their mental problems and mental illness is taboo (禁忌) in any Chinese families.
In the UK, over three-quarters of young people believe their mental health problems have a social shame and a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.
Young people who don't seek help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. If you feel something is wrong within you - seek help.
Feeling down? Here are three things to try if you feel low.
●Go to a psychology teacher. The teacher will listen to you and offer help - for free!
●Call 800-800-1100. It's the number of a hotline run by the Mental Health Research and Prevention Center. The line is open 24 hours a day.
● Tell your parents and visit the hospital if the situation gets out of control.
24. According to the WHO, about ______ of children and teenagers worldwide experience mental illness.
A. one fifth B. 10 percent
C. 30 percent D. three quarters
25. Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental health probably because ______ .
A. they think less of their mental problems
B. they are ashamed to admit having mental problems
C. they fear that they may get into trouble
D. they are unwilling to avoid their mental illness
26. School children with mental health should try the following three things EXCEPT ______ .
A. consulting their teacher
B. calling a hotline for advice
C. hiding their mental illness from others
D. communicating with their parents
27. What is the purpose in writing this article? ______
A. To encourage young people to deal with their mental problems properly.
B. To describe the current situation of young people's mental health.
C. To analyze the major causes of young people's mental illness.
D. To introduce mental problems to Chinese young people.
C
The end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports.
While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D.
The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.
"There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent, " she explained.
Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life", she said.
But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.
And of course, being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
28. What do schools usually do at the end of the school year? ______
A. Dividing candies.
B. Making Christmas cards.
C. Evaluating kids' performances.
D. Grading parents.
29. What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme? ______
A. It uses a new way to evaluate kids.
B. It improves kids' motivation for learning.
C. It gives parents further education.
D. It has gained much acceptance.
30. What is the passage mainly about? ______
A. There is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life.
B. Parents should be involved in children's school life.
C. Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report.
D. Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets.

阅读下面的文章,请写出概要,40词左右。
I met Li Bei for the first time when I was six years old. Her family lived on the same floor as us, and I remember seeing a pretty little girl going in and out of the next-door flat. I was an only child and really wanted someone to play with. One day Li Bei was playing with her dolls outside her flat when my mother and I arrived at our front door. When she saw us she stopped playing and my mother laughed and said, “ Go on playing! Liao Mei can play with you.” I regret to say that I immediately ran over to Li Bei and took her doll off her. Li Bei started crying and I began crying too. This was a bad start to our friendship, but we went on to become best friends and I never regret meeting her. When she was ten, Li Bei’s family moved to a city on the other side of China, but for many years she never forgot to send me a card for my birthday. Those were happy times.
