     Depression (抑郁症) is a serious problem today. Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing
companies and countries to lose billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is
"widespread,costly and deadly". Depression hits one person in five around the world.
     Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that
depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the
world's population will be suffering from a serious depression.
      Suicide (自杀) rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80
percent higher than in the population at large, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks.
People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,getting upon time, and doing work
productively. 
      Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes (基因), brings loss of confidence and
ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.
     Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it.Many people believe that
depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides, there is no good treatment,with few specialists available.
      "Most patients in China just don't get help, "a Chinese doctor says."In my hospital.I have to see 30 or 40
patients in a morning,just have time to say "Hello how do you feel?"
      In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their
boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them.
      "In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most
secure about themselves,"an American doctor says.
     Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that
they can get the right treatment.

     Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For
success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one's equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
     Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
     But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
     To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand; it means never placing ourselves in
danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the
child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember
that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

1. The passage mainly talks about________.

A. misleading zones and right ways in educating children
B. current problems in training children
C. what should be taught to children
