21、t.Passage OneTeachers using red pen to mark students work could be harming their psyche as the color is too aggressive, according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government.The “Good Mental Health Rocks” kit, which was distributed this month to about 30 schools in Queensland s

22、tate, offers strategies such as “Dont mark in red pen (which can be seen as aggressive)-Use a different color.”Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day, apologizing to students when necessary and asking students to conduct a “personal skills audit” where they focus on their in

23、dividual strengths rather than their weaknesses.The kit, designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health in the classroom, suggests that social and emotional wellbeing has been linked to young peoples schooling, among other things.The education aid has sparked a row in parliament, with de

24、puty opposition leader Mark McArdle calling it “kooky, loony, loopy lefty policies.”But Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department devised the kit, said youth suicide was a serious issue. “If mental health professionals determine that as one of a number of strategies teachers should conside

25、r, then Ill support them every day of the week,” he told reporters recently. “This is not a matter for ridicule, this is serious.”According to some Australian mental health groups, the greatest number of people with mental illness are aged between 18 and 24 years, with 14 percent of Australian child

26、ren and adolescents suffering from some sort of illness.Boys are slightly more likely to experience mental health problems than girls and depression is one of the most common conditions in young people and increases during adolescence, the website of mental health group Mindframe said.

32、n more bad-tempered. Scientists have identified a “sleepless elite”-a small group of people for whom a lie-in is a waste of time.Rather than being tired, bad-tempered under-achievers, they are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours

33、 of shut-eye a night.If that were not irritating enough, they tend to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time, and breeze through their extra-long days without needing caffeine pick-me-ups（咖啡因提神物） or cat naps.Working out how the gene cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could

34、 help in the design of drugs that give us all a few extra hours in our day.The bad news is that while many of us get by on a few hours sleep a night, just one to three people in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite.The research team is now appealing for members of the lucky group to come fo

35、rward to allow their DNA to be studied.University of California researcher Ying-Hui Fu said: “My long-term goal is to someday learn enough so we can manipulate the sleep pathways without damaging our health.

36、lready volunteered share fascinating characteristics.

42、ople think women are more affected when a relationship hits a rocky patch. According to a new study on over 1,000 break-ups, it is the opposite.

43、mmon wisdom says that women are more hurt by problems in a relationship, but we found that the disadvantages of strain are exaggerated for the men.” She added: “Men are more sensitive than we often think they are.” Simon and her co-researchers discovered that men often put a brave face on problems t

44、hey have with their partner but inside, they feel more emotional pain than women.The research also showed how differently men and women dealt with problems. Women show their feelings more by crying and talking about how they feel. Men find this hard to do because they need to be “masculine” and men
