25、   At some point in life, many people experience a mental(精神)problem. While most people get over it，for others it doesn't go away easily.

The WHO says that about 20 percent teenagers around the world experience mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020.It will become one of the main causes of diseases, and even death.

In China, the picture isn't bright, cither. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.

The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.

A research center in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying（欺凌）. In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source（渠道）of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures"，says the centre.

Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.

Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that. "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever."

"My message for young people is if you feel something is wrong within you———ask for help" he told China Daily.

26、You either have it, or you don’t—a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street? 

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.

“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”

Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.

If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize(辩认). Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.

The simple way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help to find out where you are.

Now you will never get lost again!

【1】Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.

A. 5   B. 6   C. 7   D. 8

【2】Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?

【3】What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?

A. To give special importance to something.   B. To express thanks for somebody.

C. To understand or realize a fact.   D. To admire somebody.

【4】Scientists believe that __________.

A. some babies are born with a sense of direction

B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

C. people never lose their sense of direction

D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth

【5】What may be the best title of the passage?

A. A research on direction.   B. The sense of direction.
