阅读理解。

    Honey(蜂蜜)from African(非洲)forest is very delicious.

    Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(蜂巢)and take honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. But in parts of Africa, people and animals have a strange helper — a little bird called a honey helper.

    In fact, the honey helper does not like honey, but it likes the wax(蜂蜡)in the nest. The little bird cannot reach the wax because it is inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a nest, it looks for someone to help. The little bird sings loudly to get the attention(注意) of both passing animals and people. When it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting for the following animal or person that loves honey. Then it helps them find the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower tries to get the delicious honey and the bird waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always fall to the ground, and this is when the bird takes its share.

    Scientists do not know why the bird likes eating the wax, but they seem to be able to smell the wax far away.

(1)、It is difficult to find a bee's nest because________.
A、it's small B、it hides up in the tree   C、it's too far D、it's in Africa
(2)、The underlined phrase “the follower” in paragraph 3 is _____________.

    Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in this sport—the young and the old, boys and girls, and now even robots.

Recently at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.

    Robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big as a ping pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the "football" and score a goal. The robot with more goals wins.

    Gao Linge, a boy from Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.

    "My school bought the main board (主板),"said Gao, 14. "Then I decided what my robot looked like and made a computer program for it."

    Gao's robot was eight centimeters tall and had two arms. It had four sensors (传感器) to "see" and "kick" the "football".

    Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao's school, also made a robot. His robot played against Gao's. The match decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot's parts to Gao.

    Even so, Gao's robot didn't win the final. It played well in the first five minutes. Then it slowed down. By the end of the match, it could hardly move. What was wrong? Gao and Ying found the problem—the robot ran out of batteries (电池)!

    "We'll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time!" said the two boys.

If I had a cold, I wouldn't think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, if I had a mental(心理的)problem, I might not treat it in the same way.

At my elementary school, mental health was not discussed even once as far as I can remember. This makes me wonder how many other schools are failing to educate their students on this topic. It makes me sad that children growing up with mental illness may feel like it is something to be ashamed of(对……感到羞耻的)because it is never discussed. When I reached high school, mental health was still seldom discussed. But when it was in the topic of health or biology class, I was given a broad idea that mental illness was a "thing" that really lies.

In my opinion, overstressed high school students could benefit(获益)greatly from more deep discussions about how to deal with mental health problems, such as how to know when you should care about yourself or a friend, or who to reach out for help. I know my friends and I could have benefited. Even if you personally have never faced mental health problems, someone you know is sure to have, and you can offer timely help.

I also believe we need to normalize discussions about mental health at an early age, instead of hiding them from sight. At school, I saw a student's report on mental health education and how it can be carried out in the American school system. The student used the film Inside Out to explain feelings to younger kids. This report made me believe that it, is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.

Although we can't change the way people think about mental health over one night, there are still things we can do. Asking our friends how they're feeling is a good start.
