In the past, I thought I was terrible at many...

In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as math, French and science. Although I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class. I wanted to find out who I was, what I liked and how I could do it better. So, that winter, I took a notebook and kept my diary. When I filled that notebook. I started another one, and then another.

Keeping a diary helps a lot. Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better. It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams, friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over them and move on. Personally, I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary. For example, when I am fighting with my dad, I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates. I'll write something like, "I might not have clear skin, but I like my eyes.”

Right about now, you might be thinking: it sounds great, but I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible. Don’t worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework —there are no rules, so do whatever feels best.

1.What was the writer good at in the past?

A.Math B.French. C.Science. D.Drawing.

2.What does the underlined word “them” refer to(指的是)?

A.Studies B.Bad feelings C.Friendships. D.Brains

3.What is the second paragraph(段落) mainly about?

A.Reasons for fighting with Dad. B.Rules of comparing with others.

C.Ways of having clear skin. D.Advantages of keeping a diary.

New research shows the number of suicide（自杀）is increasing among young people. Between 2007 and 2015, the number of U. S. teenagers who visited hospitals because of suicidal thoughts or ideas doubled. In 2007, the number of visits was 580,000; by 2015, that number had increased to 1.12 million, reports CNN.

The fact that so many young people fight with depression （沮丧） and suicidal thoughts every day is shocking. But new research may allow us to look into the differences between the development of depression in boys and girls.

Researchers found that there are big differences between the development of depression for boys and girls. Girls seemed to develop depression at a faster speed and hit the highest levels of depression at an earlier age. For boys, the most rapid increase of depression happened at age 16. 4, while girls' biggest increase came at 13. 5 years.

There's no exact answer for these differences. But expert Arash Emamzadeh says that a general increase in depression during teenage time is possibly "because teenagers face many changes during this period such as puberty(青春期) , school transition(过渡) and forming friendships. "

As for girls experiencing depression at an earlier age, Emamzadeh writes, "One possible explanation for this difference is the earlier puberty in girls compared with boys. "

Finding a solution is not easy. However, if schools, parents and teenagers make efforts at the same time, things will certainly be better. Students in schools need to be helped to deal with problems both in their daily lives and study. Less stress is supposed to be put on teenagers' shoulders by parents. Proper communication between teenagers and parents is necessary. Teenagers should keep optimistic and look on the bright side of life.

1.How many teenagers with suicidal thoughts are there in the U. S. by 2015?

A.1.120,000. B.1, 700,000. C.580,000. D.540,000.

2.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "optimistic" in the last paragraph?

A.健康的 B.沮丧的 C.乐观的 D.理性的

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A.There are big differences in the development of depression in boys and girls.

B.Boys reach the highest level of depression 2. 9 years earlier than girls.
