Many believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi(杨幂): at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院).

She still recalls the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. Some treated her with little respect.

Beijing announced that more schools in the city will try new classes in sex education later this year. For junior high school students, the program will teach them how to communicate with the opposite gender.
Mao Xinyi of Dalian welcomes the idea. The 13-year-old girl thinks it is important to get along well with boys. “You may feel that it’s not necessary to talk to boys in school.

As a boy, Liu Zhao thinks girls are “careful and patient ”. And, through talking to girls, the 13-year-old from Anhui said he could get some “fresh and interesting ideas”. Liu suggests that boys should be natural while talking to girls. “Don’t be shy or try to be cool. Just relax,” he said.

High school students can face many problems that put heavy pressure on their lives inside and outside of school.
??High school students often are busy and tired. First of all, they have too much homework to do after class, so they have less leisure time. Secondly, students have to take too many tests. In addition, resulting bad moods and poor friendships can be troubling. To put it simply, it’s often beyond their strength to balance study and free time.
It’s commonly known that pressure has a negative impact on students’ mental health and school performance. For example, sometimes students feel too stressed to fall asleep, so it’s easy to feel tired the next day. How to solve this problem? One way could be to turn to friends for help. In addition, playing sports and listening to music are good ways to release tension and relax. Finally, if students could strive to become more optimistic and confident, they could get rid of pressure very quickly.
It is said that pressure can be turned into motivation. In other words, pressure not only brings pain and fatigue（疲劳） but also pushes people forward. Thus, students should be optimistic when facing pressure.

   A. too much homework           B. too many tests

Migrant students in Shenzhen feel more depressed than their peers who have Shenzhen hukou（户口）, according to a survey carried out by the city's women and children's psychological consultation（咨询）center.
The children of migrant families are also more likely to feel they are treated unfairly. About 1,500 non-hukou students ages from 8 to 17 participated in the survey, and the findings revealed that most of them felt inferior, lonely, depressed and troubled in relationships, the survey said.
More than 80 percent had transferred schools at least two times, which hurt their studies." Constantly changing schools has caused some psychological problems for the students because they need more time to adapt to the new environment," said Zhang Xiaoli, vice director of the center. "They also easily weary（厌倦） of studying, and this is why most of these students don't do well in school."
Zhang found during research that the main reason they lack motivation to study was because of unstable family situations, such as their parents changing jobs or the family moving frequently.
"Many of these students' parents live in a very unstable environment," Zhang said. "They frequently change their jobs, homes and even cities, and their children have to move with them and transfer schools. Facing different study environments, materials and methods, many students find it difficult to cope with in a short period of time. It affects their performance and eventually affects their interest in studying."

   A. The problems of migrant students in Shenzhen.
