(b)the ministry of health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young，as part of efforts to mark world mental health day.more than 15 percent of the chinese youth 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 estimated that before 2020，the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent，and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.deng xiaohong，the spokesperson for the beijing municipal health bureau，said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. if these mental diseases are not addressed on time，occurrence of crime，drugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors，such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well，unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study. a number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in onechild families. schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing. yin jingmiao，a teacher of the beijing no. 105 middle school，told china daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. “students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions，” yin said. the school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams，to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.46what is the purpose of the passage?ato urge awareness on mental health of the young.bto give the details of the problems the chinese youth are facing today.cto recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help solve the mental problems among the youth.dto show us the causes of the mental problems among students.47the underlined word “addressed” in the fifth paragraph most probably means _.atalked about bdealt with csatisfied dintroduced48from the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following except _. aonechild policy black of ability to handle interpersonal relations well clack of special training in mental health dheavy burden from study49which of the following statements is true according to the passage? aby 2020，about 50 percent of the students in china will have mental problems. bmental problems mainly appear among the youth while they are seldom seen among adults. cchina has the largest number of youngsters with psychological problems. dmany schools have realized the problem and taken measures.50we can infer that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth， _.aattention should be paid to the education of the only childbpsychology must be a necessary part of schoolcthe government will cancel tests to ease the pressure on the studentsdrapid social change plays the leading part in causing mental problems(c)when i was a boy i always wanted to be a cowboy. i remember my mom worrying about me getting sick from the heat in the summer, because i wore a thickblue sweater all the time. no respectable cowboy, however, would wear short sleeves so i sweated while i played.one day my parents gave me a bb gun. it lookedjust like a gun that all the cowboys used in the movies. i spent hours each day during those summer months shooting at stumps andpretending to be john wayne (film actor who played tough heroes). as i was coming into the house one afternoon, though, i tried it one time too many. the gun that i thought was empty let out a soft pop and a bullet flew across the room and parted the hair of my dad who was asleep on the couch. my dad took one look at the bb hole a half inch above his head, walked over to me, took my gun, walked outside, and calmly broke it in half.i didnt cry too much over this. i knew how close i had come to hurting my dad with my stupidity. i didnt expect to ever get another bb gun either. that is why i was so surprised when my dad bought me another one the next year. i guess he thought i had wised up enough to know how to use it this time. i never put a single bb in the new gun, but in my imagination johnwayne rode again.i eventually outgrew my cowboy stage, but i never did outgrow myappreciation for my fathers forgiveness. he showed me that even when imessed up in the worse way i was still loved. he gave me another chanceand let me know that i was forgiven whether i deserved it or not. heshared with me some of the unconditional love and forgiveness. may we always embrace and share that love and forgiveness as well.51. the author wore a thick blue sweater because _ .a. he was easy to get sickb. he wanted to be like a cowboyc. he hoped to be respected by cowboysd. he didnt want his mother to worry about him52. how did the author feel when he received the first bb gun?a. doubtful. b. surprised. c. regretful. d. overjoyed.53. the author didnt cry because _ .a. he understood his mistake b. his father didnt scold himc. his father was not hurt after all d. he didnt expect to get another bb gun54. after dad bought him another bb gun, the author _.a. forgot how to use it b. was excited to use itc. felt thankful for his father d. had lost interest in cowboys55. what might be the most suitable title for the passage?a. a new bb gun b. a fathers forgivenessc. a cowboys experience d. the mistake of a naughty boy(d)all parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that its hard to let go of your children. that balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. revolutions are led by the young.good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers basic beliefs. schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used. governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. and they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. the rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. they are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about he lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they dont follow what is expected of them. but the most
