They said adolescent (青春期的) girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate
are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boy with similar experiences.
"For girls it is more serious to be school failure," said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington
researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
"We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates
of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls," McCarty said in a
statement.
The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington,and included people from
18 school in high-crime neighborhoods.
The group was separated evenly by gender (性别) and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21
percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups.
Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure,
but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17 percent for the boys.
"This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe
consequences when it does occur," McCarty said.

举一反三
by the time that they have reached their middle teens. My friend Jolie learned this fact a few weeks ago and
decided to do something about it. She thinks that the number of commercials that children see can influence
the way in which they view the world. That is, Jolie believes that children who watch so many advertisements
will grow up to believe that the most important thing in life is to buy, buy, buy! This, says Jolie, is wrong. A
little child cannot understand advertisements for what they are and so believes totally in what he or she hears.
I have been thinking about what Jolie has told me. I suppose that she is right. I know that it is easy to
control the minds of children because they don"t see things logically as adults do. And I am upset myself at
how the advertisers can control a child"s outlook on the world. I think I should join Jolie in her efforts to
change advertising methods when it comes to advertisements for children. I really have a responsibility (责任)
to make sure that future generation are given every chance to develop their minds without being influenced by
anything bad.
Of course, there is another side to the problem. After all, parents ought to take responsibility for what their
children watch and how much television they see. I know that many parents just want their children to be quiet,
and so they let them watch as much television as they want. But,in the long run,the methods of advertisers have
great power because we are society of consumers (消费者). I only hope that someday there can be an answer
of this problem. Children need our guidance, not the guidance of advertisers.
B. be more interested in TV advertisements
C. sit for longer hours watching advertisements
D. not judge things reasonably
B. watching television is unhealthy to children
C. most TV advenisements tend to tell lies
D. little children have difficulty in understanding advertisements
B. advertisements be changed to suit the needs of children
C. more programs be started to give guidance to children
D. ways be found to have the least influence of commercials on children
B. television commercials when they are about 15 years old
C. hours of commercials when they have reached middle age
D. television commercials when they have reached middle age
B. television advertising has a bad influence on children
C. the number of commercials that children see can influence the way in which they view the world
D. parents ought to take responsibility for what and how much their children watch on TV
invented. Much of the blood on the street flows basically from careless behavior of drivers who refuse to
respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly,
you might say. But carelessness is no excuse when one"s actions could bring death or damage to others.
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents are caused due to the
psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can slow drivers" judgments and reactions, and blind
them to dangers that might otherwise be obvious. The experts wam that it is important for every driver to
make an effort to keep one"s emotions under control.
Yet drivers are not the only people to blame for road accidents. Street walkers regularly break traffic
regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents and many cyclists even be- lieve that they need
not follow the basic rules of the road.

But some parents might have left it too late to buy the present their child really wants for Christmas.
Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever
marketing or peer pressure (同龄人压力), so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing
for Christmas.
Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their child"s Christmas, it"s quite easy for the most
popular presents to get sold out before everyone can buy one. This leads to parents going to extraordinary
lengths to find the desired gift.
In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the "Thunderbirds" TV series, and
Buzz Lightyear, from the "Toy Story" film. This years must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication
that British children are becoming more and more technologically savvy (有见识的).
Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related to TV
programmes, such as popular science-fiction series "Doctor Who", and pre-school sense "In the Night Garden",
as well as the main character from the "Transformers" movie.
As parents desperately (拼命地) search shops and online retailers (零售商) for the gifts their children want,
some people are cashing in. Those who predicted the trends bought some of the top presents earlier in the year,
and can now sell them for great profits online.
Special stock-check websites have been set up to warn parents as soon as a certain item becomes available
anywhere. But with so many people signed up it"ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they sell out
again.
Some children will inevitably (不可避免地) be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let"s hope that the
chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.
B. How to Do Shopping Before Christmas
C. What Presents Suit Your Children
D. A Good Time to Earn Money
B. the same thing because of some influences such as TV, or films
C. Tracy Island or Buzz Lightyear
D. presents liked by their parents
B. Get to buy presents.
C. Change presents into money.
D. Hurry to make money.
B. Because the presents are too expensive to buy.
C. Because their parents won"t meet their needs.
D. Because their love for the presents will change soon.
she learned that she could change to the popular Economics Department.
But by paying 20,000 yuan with the help of her parents, Xiao Wang can study the economics major she
prefers. "It is difficult for graduates (毕业生) in chemistry to find a good job in recent years," she said. Xiao
Wang is only one of the many freshmen that pay to change to popular majors. Many universities throughout
China offer similar services. The charge for changing majors are from 5,000 yuan t0 80,000 yuan, according
to a recent report on the Yangzi Evening News. The fee (费用) is decided by university authorities based on
the popularity of each major, the report said. The most popular majors include computer science, law, finance,
information engineering and foreign languages.
A saying popular among students may explain the phenomenon (现象). Studying a good major is much
better than studying in a famous university.
Some educators warn students against rushing blindly to today"s popular majors. They may not be popular
years later, the China Youth Daily said. But it seems that many students are career-oriented (以职业为宗旨的),
instead of being interest-based.
Freshmen are allowed to change to other departments, according to rules of the Ministry of Education. But
there is no official rules on the charges. In spite of the high charges, demands to change majors are still
increasing. The paper said about 100 students in the English language department of a school in Harbin changed
from other departments. The department planned to admit only 50 freshmen this year.
These charges have become a big income for some universities, the paper said. It is expected a normal
school in Harbin will get an income of 30 million yuan this year.
B. she prefers to study the major
C. it has a promising future
D. transferring to another major is very popular in university
B. computer
C. English
D. teaching
B. the Ministry of Education
C. university authorities
D. the China Youth Daily
B. explain that is not right for universities to charge too much money
C. tell us a new phenomenon that took place in universities
D. warn the students to be careful if they want to change majors
workers found their workplace "too stressful" compared with an average of 27% across Europe. Switzerland
and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment (人力)
agency Kelly Services found.
The survey of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in
steady jobs were under the greatest pressure. "A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing
when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter," said Steve Cirdler, marketing
director of Kelly Services UK." But high levels of long stress are not good because they impact on productivity
and lead to physical and emotional illness," he warned. The group also found stress increased significantly with
age-rising from 19% in the 15-24 age to 23% for those aged 45 and above. The report suggested these workers
could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility. Those working the longest
hours found their job the most stressful: 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on
for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours. Kelly Services also uncovered a close link
between stress and job satisfaction. For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were
happy in their jobs, while for those with "just the right amount of stress" happiness levels jumped to 65%. The
findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to "learn new skills".
B. work stress levels "lower" in UK
C. the cause of work stress of workers in UK
D. the relationship between the work stress and ages
B. the relationship between the work stress and ages
C. the average percent of workers who feel work stress all over Europe
D. the work condition in UK
B. unacceptable
C. incredible
D. unreasonable
B. The longer the work time is, the less stress the workers have.
C. The work stress has both advantages and disadvantages.
D. The higher stress, the happier work.
