Sherry Anne Lipski was born and raised in New York City. Sherry loved the city. It was her home. And most of her closest friends lived just a few blocks away. She could call any of them and, in minutes, they could gather together at the ice cream shop, pizza place, or one of the local playgrounds. When Sherry’s friends got a message from her to meet at the playground, they knew what she wanted to do: play handball.

American handball is a popular game, most often played in cities, especially New York. It is kind of like tennis except there is no net. Sherry could play handball for hours and hours. With that much practice, she became the best player in her entire neighborhood, winning every time she walked onto a court. Her friends would challenge her, even though knowing that they would definitely lose, but played anyway just to have some fun.

Toward the end of her fourth grade, her parents told Sherry some very upsetting news.

“Sherry, her mother began, worried that her daughter might cry.” Your father has been given a wonderful new job by the company he works for.

“Yes, Sherry,” her father added. “I’m very excited about it. It’s a promotion, which means we can have a much more comfortable life together.”

“OK...” Sherry was unsure why they were speaking to her in such a way when it sounded like good news. Then it became clear.

“Unfortunately,” her mother said, “we have to move to Pennsylvania where your father has been asked to work.”

“We know that you’ll miss your New York home, Shey,” said her dad. “But you’re a wonderful young lady. We know you will make some new friends there.”

Sherry began to cry right away. Her parents comforted her, but she drowned herself in sadness, especially when she thought of saying goodbye to all of her childhood friends and the neighborhood where she grew up.

9 . As leaves fall and temperatures drop, the winter blues are setting in. The winter blues are very common, with many of us experiencing depression and sadness for no reason.     1    :

●Recognize the symptoms. The most common signs are general sadness, a lack of energy, oversleeping and overeating. Other signs include loss of interest in activities you typically enjoy.     2    

●Be exposed to the sun. According to mental health experts, the winter blues happen because we get inadequate sunlight in the winter than we do in other seasons.     3    . Getting extra sunlight each day can help brighten your mood and lift your spirits.

●Get some exercise and consume healthy food. A brisk walk or some exercise will make natural “eel good” chemicals called endorphins (内啡肽) flow through your body. Avoid having too much sugar. If you are crazy for sweet food like cookies candy, it may be a sign that you need more protein (like meal, chicken, or fish).

●    4    . Cut back on your study load if you have too many things to do. Make sure you set-aside some quiet time to yourself. Studies show that most teens need about nine hours of sleep each night. The average high school students, though, get only six or seven hours.

●Seek for help.     5    —from work to relationships, you may have a bigger problem than the winter blues. Chances are that you may be suffering Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Turn to an adult you trust and consult a doctor as soon as possible.

A．Find a treatment that works for you

B．Strike a balance between study and rest

C．Here are steps to relieve the winter blues

D．Sunlight shortage adds to depressed feelings

E．Worse still you may get tired easily most of the day

F．If your winter blues start affecting all aspects of your life

G．Be generous to yourself, and allow yourself to make mistakes
