Question

Do you know that girls are seven times more likely than boys to be unhappy and twice more likely to commit suicide(自殺)and that girls are three times more likely than boys to have a negative attitude？Twenty percent of the girls in the US between the ages of 12 and 17 drink alcohol(酒)and smoke cigarettes.

So what is mental(心理的)health？Mental health is how we think，feel，and act in order to face life’s problems.

A young girl’s mental health affects her daily life and future. Like physical health，mental health is important at every stage of life. Caring for and protecting a young girl’s mental health is important to ensure that she grows up to become the best she can be.

Many children experience mental health problems that are painful and can be serious. Mental health problems affect at least one in every five young people at any given time. Unluckily，about two thirds of all young people with mental health problems are not getting the help they need. Mental health problems can lead to school failure，alcohol or other drug abuse(濫用)，family violence，or even suicide.

There are many signs that may point to a possible mental health problem in a child or teenager. If you are worried about a child or have any questions，look for help at once. Talk to your doctor，a school teacher，or other mental health experts who are trained to know whether your child has a mental health problem. You can also call 1­800­789­2647 for a list of warning signs.

4.D

【解析】本文講述了孩子們心理健康問題的表現(xiàn)以及如何解決孩子們的心理健康問題。

1.C 理解推斷題。根據(jù)第一段所問的幾個問題，可推知女孩子比男孩子更容易產(chǎn)生心理健康問題。

2.B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的"mental health is important at every stage of life."可知在作者看來，不管人的年紀多少，心理健康都很重要。

3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一句的"for a list of warning signs"可知撥打這個電話號碼可以查詢心理健康問題的一些征兆，故可推斷那些想知道自己的孩子有沒有心理健康問題的父母最有可能撥打這個電話號碼。

4.D作者意圖題。根據(jù)第四段的"Unluckily，about two thirds of all young people with mental health problems are not getting the help they need."可知目前很多父母對孩子的心理健康問題不夠重視，作者在文章中強調(diào)了心理健康的重要性以及心理健康問題的危害性，其目的是希望父母們能更加重視孩子們的心理健康。
