the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.
More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.The
World Health Organization estimates that before 2020, the rate of
children with mental problems willincrease to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the
young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the
Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social changes are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems
.Ifthese mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crimes, drugtaking and other dangerous
behavior are expected to rise.Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the
inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of
studies.A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental
health in the young.Children are said to be too "spoiled" and "selfish" in a onechild family.

risk of pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌),an unusual but deadly cancer,researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk,the study of 60,000
people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health
habits,said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota,who led the study.
"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin (胰岛素) in the body,which
we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth," Pereira said in a statement.
Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers & Prevention,Pereira and his colleagues
said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.
Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or more
sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic
cancer.
Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.
"Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare.Favorite pastimes (消遣) are eating and
shopping,so the findings should apply to other Western countries," he said.
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
"Although this study found a risk,the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it
remains unclear whether it is a causal (因果的) connection or not," said Mayne,who serves on the board
of the journal,which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer,with 230,000 cases globally.In the United
States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.
B．Scientists from Singapore.
C．Researchers in Yale.
D．Susan Mayne.
B．2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health
C．87 out of 140 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer
D．sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer
B．Doubtful.
C．Worried.
D．Hopeful.
B．Drink Fruit Juice Instead of Sodas
C．A Study in University of Minnesota
D．Sugary Soft Drinks Lead to Cancer
to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference. He told
reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the accident off
Louisiana"s coast.
"What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things better,"
McDonnell said. "I think that"s the spirit of American people. "
President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast states to
drill offshore for oil and natural gas. Companies could conduct exploratory drilling in Virginia"s waters
50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012.
In Virginia Beach, the state"s largest city and one that relies heavily on tourism, Mayor Will Sessoms
said he would be worried if the timetable was not changed. Sessoms supported drilling and helped the
city pass a resolution (决议) in favor of it, in part to help the tourism industry by keeping the cost of gas
down. But, he said, the Louisiana accident was a wakeup call.
"It"s alarming to me, " Sessoms said. "It gives me great concern. "
Obama swore Friday that no expansion of offshore oil drilling would take place until investigations
into the Louisiana accident were complete.
Virginia"s officials, who support drilling, said they agree that drilling should be delayed. Sen. Mark
Warner said it was "appropriate" for Obama to delay offshore projects. McDonnell said he wants to
see a full investigation into the Louisiana accident, but he still thinks that drilling could begin off Virginia"s
coast as soon as next year or early 2012.
McDonnell has also said that drilling off Virginia"s coast would create thousands of jobs, as well as
lessen US dependence on foreign oil.
A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海湾) of Mexico left 11 workers
missing and dead. Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since, inching closer to the coasts of
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The accident confirmed the worst fears of environmental groups and people already worried that
possible spills (溢出) could harm plants, animals, and tourism.
B. It should be delayed due to the gulf oil accident.
C. It has a lot of benefits, and thus shouldn"t be delayed.
D. It could make the US dependent on foreign oil.
B. It could help recover the economy.
C. It met the spirit of American people.
D. It partly helped the tourism industry.
B. The leaked crude oil may affect the coasts of 3 states.
C. The investigation into the accident has been completed.
D. Officials who support drilling off Virginia"s coast are not in favor of the investigation.
B. It is dangerous to drill oil off the coasts.
C. People should learn from oil accidents to reduce damage to our environment.
D. Investigations should be carried out immediately after oil accidents.
2010 will be treated to a socalled blue moon.According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second
full moon in a month.But don"t expect it to be blue-the name has nothing to do with the color of our
closest space neighbor.
A full moon occurred on Dec.2,2009.It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year"s
countdown.
"If you"re in Times Square, you"ll see the full moon right above you.It"s going to be that brilliant, " said
Jack Horkheimer, director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV
show.
The New Year"s Eve blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America
and Africa.For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up until New Year"s Day,
making January a blue moon month for them.
However, the eastern hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse (月偏蚀) on New Year"s
Eve when part of the moon enters the Earth"s shadow.The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas.
A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12 ones.On average, an extra full moon in
a month-a blue moon-occurs every 2.5 years.The last time there was a blue moon was in May 2007.
New Year"s Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years.The last time was in 1990.
Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University
of California, Santa Cruz."" Blue moon" is just a name in the same sense as "a hunter"s moon" or "a
harvest moon", " Laughlin said in an email.
The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for, Sky & Telescope magazine in
1946 misinterpreted (误解) the Maine Farmer"s Almanac (历书) and labeled a blue moon as the
second full moon in a month.In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season
with four full moons, not the usual three.Though Sky & Telescope corrected the mistake decades later,
the definition caught_on.

These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problemsolving,beginning in the high school years.
Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal
Science on Friday.
Currently,women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics,the physical
sciences,and engineering.In the United States,Ph.D.programs in engineering currently average only about
15 percent women,and similar statistics have led to stereotypes (成见) about girls and women lacking in
mathematical ability.
Now,it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills,
according to this latest report.
And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items,but rarely on "strategic thinking" (战略思维) or "extended thinking" concepts.
If standardized tests do not assess the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math,
the skills may not be taught,putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries
where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content."This is a gap that should be fixed,"
Hyde said.

dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they
had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people"s health.
The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60
miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and near cities ,the
storm also reached Yuma area in southwestern and far western Arizona. It reduced the visibility ( 能见度 ) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of
the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, a wall of there"s
