【推荐1】A great way for teenagers to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park, you may think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like. Check to see if there are any water parks around you. The prices are usually low. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $6. On Saturday and Sunday, just half of the price.

Some teenagers like to get a part time job during the summer to make some pocket money. Older teenagers don’t have much trouble finding jobs. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc. Because it is summer, many people go on vacation and someone do look after their houses while they are away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.

Teenagers love freedom. So you would like to go to these places like the mall, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and amusement park instead of staying at home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Such a pass costs only $ 10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable and also your parents don’t have to always drive.

【推荐2】Being sad or in a low mood is a normal (正常的) part of life. Many people feel down from time to time. For example, when people face challenging events in their lives, such as financial(经济的) difficulty or major changes, it’s common to feel down. But in most cases the bad feelings slowly disappear.

As for depression(抑郁症), however, the bad mood lasts for weeks, months, or ever longer because it is a mental(精神的) illness. As the World Health Organization(WHO) noted, depression is a mood disorder. It shows in different ways, including loss of interest in normal activities and feelings of low self-worth. It often lasts for a long time and greatly harms a person’s ability at work or school or in the daily life. People with depression usually don’t like to talk about their problems with others. More seriously, depression may even lead to the act of killing oneself.

“Depression is not just a bout(一阵) of sadness or a sign of weakness, and you can’t just simply stop feeling depressed.” said the health news website www.mayoclinie.com.

But depression is not a person’s problem. It’s also more common than most people think. It is hurting about 280 million people around the world, according to WHO.

Though depression is worrying, we don’t have to be afraid of it. Depression can be treated by getting professional(专业的) help, taking medicine or a mixed treatment of both. In fact, when you begin to feel the danger of depression, you can try to deal with it early by yourself. Listening to music, doing some sports and drawing some pictures might help you feel better. Another useful way is talk therapy. When we are attacked by a low mood, having a conversation with others is of great help. Being honest about how we feel does not make us weak; it makes us human.

1. Who is most probably experiencing depression?

A．Lily, who is going to have an important exam and hasn’t slept well for 3 days .
