Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees."Problems and worries are normal in life," says Laura. But 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.She just kept thinking,"If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!" In the end,she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful."I will always remember to share my problems in the future!" Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He 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.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself." Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them.

To the Editor,
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One,the sixth﹣grade mentoring (指导) group.Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students.Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring.We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor,but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.
I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year. Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don't, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life.In many situations,lasting friendships are made as well. My mentor and I hit it off right away.And we're still good friends today.
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment(承诺).Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring.Considering your responsibilities,it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule.But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Lopez

In China, writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of Study.Among the high﹣quality (质量) treasures, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best﹣known.
The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries (陶器).They are mainly made of the hair of animals.Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel's (鼬)tail hair are called langhao. Their artistic effects (效果) in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens.

A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high﹣quality ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name"Li", From then on, the fame of the Li Ink Stick was widespread. In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick.
Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced,it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony (檀木) in the rivers. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark (树皮) to produce the world﹣famous xuan paper.
The ink stone was already very popular in the Han Dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink Stones一Duan Ink Stone, She Ink Stone, Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration.

Recycle
Recycle means "change things into something else to be reused". We throw tons of rubbish away each year, and we have to make a change. Divide your rubbish into plastic ,glass,paper and rubber.

I had two pets in my house, a dog named Sam and a cat named Katty.They loved each other so much that they were always together.When I played with one, the other joined in.If Sam barked at something,Katty ran to see what it was. When I took either one out of the house, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.
But one day, without any warning, Sam died of a heart attack (心脏病突发) at the animal hospital and I had to walk back to our house alone. This time,there was no Sam for Katty to greet and no way for me to explain why she would never see her friend again.
In the days that followed, Katty seemed heartbroken. She could not tell me in words how she felt, but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door and the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.
As the weeks went by,the cat seemed to feel much better.One day as I walked into our living room,I happened to have a look at the floor next to our sofa where we had a statue (塑像) of Sam that we had bought a few years before. Lying next to it, one arm around the statue's neck, was Katty, happily sleeping with her best friend.

For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door.Every year brings more news of closing.But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers?
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. Their most successful period is in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation (发行量) began to fall.(3)By the mid﹣20th century,radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. That was especially true for breaking (突发的) news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer (受损害). After work, more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper. That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago. It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed, but they could provide in﹣depth (深入详尽的) reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another, heavier blow (打击) in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, tons of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription (订阅).
So what does the future hold? Will newspapers die? Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making changes. Some are going digital (数字的). Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source (来源) of in﹣depth news, analysis (分析) and opinions.
(4)If newspapers disappear completely.there will be nothing to take their place.
A.根据短文内容简要回答问题.
(1)What made the newspaper circulation fall?
(2)Will newspapers disappear? Why or why not?(选择一种情况作答)
