A recent report from Dazhou Daily says about 18% of Dazhou teenagers can have problems with their minds(内心，精神)．Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates. 

    Zhang Qiang, a Junior 2 student from Dazhou, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he couldn"t think of anything to write.

Another student, a 15­year­old girl called Wu Yan from Guang’an often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas. She became so annoyed about them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.   

However, many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid(愚蠢的) if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets. In order to solve the teenagers" problems, here is some advice：

Talk to your parents or teachers often.

Take part in group activities and play sports.

A strong vocabulary can be a valuable asset, both in college and later in your career. Considerable research evidence suggests the students who are most successful in school are those with the largest vocabularies. Other research ties job advancement to vocabulary level .In one study, successful business executives were found to have the highest vocabulary of any occupational group.

Your vocabulary is also an important personal characteristic upon which people form their first, but lasting, impression of you. Your vocabulary reveals a lot about you and is particularly important in job interviews, oral class presentations, discussion group classes, and papers and exams that you write.

  How would you rate your vocabulary? Many students answer either “good” or “terrible”, but vocabulary knowledge is not an either-or, two-choice situation. Try the following quiz, which will help you realize that vocabulary ability is much more than “Either I know the word or I don’ t.” Do not be concerned with how you score on the quiz; its purpose is to make a point, not to measure your vocabulary level.

1. The word “asset” in line 1 probably means_________

2. The author tries to convince his readers of ________.

3. The purpose in following the quiz is to _____________.

4. People’s _________of you is also influenced by you vocabulary.

5. The passage mainly deals with the importance of ___________.
