Mr Ma,a famous mental (心理的) doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting,“ Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem. ”
Then Mr Ma gave some examples. One patient,a middle school student from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him,and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents. Another student,a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai,was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper,she couldn’t think of anything to write.
A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often fell worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their secrets.
At the end of the meeting,Mr Ma offered some good ideas to young people:
Talk to your parents or teacher often.
Take part in group activities.
Try to get on well with the people around you.
Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.

El Nino(厄尔尼诺)causes floods,droughts(干旱)and other bad weather conditions around the world.It doesn't happen every year, but this year is an El Nino year.And that is bad news.
As fish don't like warm water, they swim to other places. Birds that live on them also move away. El Nino is the name of a climate event that happens in the Pacific Ocean. In summer, tropical(热带的)rain falls on Indonesia. But for some years, the Pacific Ocean moves its rainfall east. This warms the ocean as it travels, before finally reaching the shores(海岸)of North and South America.
Cold water is pushed out of the way by the warm water. The warmer temperatures cause floods in southern US and South America. And because the warm rain clouds move east,droughts happen in South Asia, Australia and even Africa.
El Nino usually lasts 6 to 18 months. They don't happen every year though, usually between two to seven years.
Every El Nino is different. The strongest El Nino happened in 1982. In the West Pacific, it caused droughts,dust storms and bush fires in Australia,Africa and Indonesia. In the East Pacific, Peru was hit with 11 feet(about 3 m) of rainfall in areas where 6 inches(about 15 cm) was normal. It is the heaviest rainfall ever recorded.
