Teenage depression (抑郁) isn't just a bad mood. It's a serious problem that affects every aspect of a teen's life. 【1】 Here are some ways of dealing with your depression.
Try not to isolate(使孤立) yourself
【2】 Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes things worse. Make it a point to stay social, even if it's the last thing you want to do.
Do any physical activity
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. 【3】 You can benefit from exercising, which will instantly make you feel better. Physical activity can be as effective as medications(药物治疗) for depression, so get involved in sports. Ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 【4】
【5】
Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher or people that you trust if exams or classes are making you anxious. Likewise, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t tell to your parents, seek medical attention at a clinic, or see a doctor.

B.Ask for help if you're stressed
C.But don't worry, you do have some control over it.
D.Exercise has been shown to help with depression.
E.You may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.
27、Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to editors must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.
“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
There are people who wish to remain anonymous for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make the news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
Anonymous or not? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.
【1】What does the sentence “Responsibility is the name of the game” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.
B.Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.
C.Writers should be responsible for their names.
D.Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.
【2】The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may ________ .
A.help to end a relationship
B.not get a reply
C.be taken care of all the same
D.become a family problem
【3】Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________.
A.hesitant to make a donation
B.afraid of an accusation
C.unwilling to draw public attention
D.ready for involvement
【4】The passage is mainly about________.
A.honor and writers
B.identity and signature
C.anonymity and publicity
D.signature and responsibility
28、How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to calculating your household bills. 【1】 It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. 【2】 Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected.
The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially at a young age”. 【3】
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing (吓唬) — might make you more worried about underperforming. 【4】 Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
A.The problem really starts in childhood, at school.
B.She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to children.
C.Since math is a subject of fixed answers, children are often scared of giving the wrong answer.
D.And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
E.More often than not, children aren’t aware of how they can practice basic math outside of school and homework.
F.But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a sense of worry and confusion.

31、
Many may associate Meghan Markle(梅根·马克尔) with the British royal family or the hit drama series Suits(《金装律师》). But the American actress has also made a name for herself in the activism(社会活动) world by getting 【1】 in number of charitable projects. While she has been seen as a key figure in raising global attention to gender equality(性别平等) lately, her activist nature dates back to her elementary school days.
One day more than two decades ago, Markle was watching a TV program at school when a dish-washing liquid commercial appeared on the screen. What attracted her attention was its tagline(品牌宣言): “Women all over America are fighting greasy(油腻的) pots and pans.” Two boys from her class said, “Yeah, that’s where women belong – in the kitchen.” Markle felt so shocked and angry at their response that she 【2】 to herself, “It just isn’t right and something needs to be done.”
After getting home, the young Markle decided to make 【3】 to the manufacturer P&G Meanwhile, she wrote to three 【4】 women, including former U.S. first lady Hillary Clinton. To Markle’s surprise, she received letters of encouragement from all three women, and a camera crew even came to her house in Los Angeles to cover the story.
The campaigning didn’t just encourage discussion and change on a local level either. Roughly a month later, P&G changed the commercial for their dish-washing liquid from “women all over America” to “people all over America.” It was at that moment that Markle realized the importance of her actions. By the age of 11, she had created her small level of 【5】 by standing up for gender equality.
Looking back on her experience of somehow accidentally becoming a women’s 【6】 activist, Markle reminded girls, “It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Women need a seat at the table; they need an invitation to be seated there. And in some cases where this isn’t 【7】, they need to create their own table.”
