Do you ever find yourself getting really unhappy for almost no reason? Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? But why is the feeling so common among teens?
Maybe you're starting a new school and not able to see old friends. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern (关注)for many teens.
Being accepted by friends is important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times.

same degree, they are common.

experiences dealing with bad moods. Teachers are often good resources and a doctor can
help to answer questions about development.

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation(APEC亚太经济合作组织) members met in Beijing from November 5 to 11 to discuss the future of APEC and the overall development of the Asia-Pacific area. APEC, which was set up(成立) in 1989,is a forum(论坛) for 21 member countries to develop free trade and economic cooperation throughout the Asia-Pacific area.
Though Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation came to a successful close, the "APEC Blue" has become popular in Beijing, even in China. A clear blue sky in Beijing is difficult to see during the smog(雾) season, so Beijingers gave it a name: "APEC Blue".
"Oh, how beautiful the autumn sky is and how fresh the air is!" This is how most Beijingers feel during APEC. "I hope the APEC Blue will remain, and I believe, through the efforts we continue to make, it will."
A lot of environmentally friendly ways were taken to reduce(减少) the Beijing smog during the APEC meeting, including limiting the number of cars on the road, stopping some factories in neighboring cities and so on.
Perhaps we can learn something from London, where the Great Smog killed 4,000 people :in four days in 1952. Britain then passed its first air pollution act, which required that all power plants in London should be shut down, factories must build taller chimneys, and the heating system must be improved.
In order to keep "APEC Blue", Beijing plans to build air corridors(通道) to blow away pollution. Not all agree with this way. Song Guojun, a professor(教授) of environmental studies(环境研究)at Renmin University, believes that this way will not solve the problem at its root, and only by controlling the source(源头) of pollution will Beijing see bluer skies.
1.APEC has been set up for years.
A.21 B.1989 C.25 D.6
2.The "APEC Blue" was named by .
A. APEC B. people in China
C. Beijingers D. 21 countries
3.The underlined words "power plants" probably means .
A.发电厂 B.加热系统
C.能源植物 D. 工厂
4. According to the passage,________is not right.
A. Beijingers believe the APEC blue will remain, if they continue making efforts.
B. A lot of ways were taken to reduce the Beijing smog.
C. The Great Smog killed 4,000 people :in four days in 1952 in London.
D. Song Guojun believes that no way will solve the problem at its root.
