六、阅读理解
These days, students often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and
sometimes with their friends. Worries usually cause (导致) health problems. What can they do with worries?
Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.” Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money.

Liu Ming, a student from Shenzhen, feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and their parents are always there to help them.
