Children in China have no say in what they learnThey normally learn by rote and are forced to study the subjects that help them in examinations for a school of a higher grade, especially the college entrance exams Studies conducted by the China Youth and Children Research Center show that more than half of Chinese secondary school students study overtime and they dont get enough sleepAnd more than 70 percent of students in primary and middle schools take after-school tutoring classes, which is considered a heavy burden on children And this situation turns many parents into demons like Wolf Father Xiao Baiyou in Guangdong province, who supported his childrens learning with verbal abuse and physical violenceXiao doesnt pale in parison to Tiger Mother Amy Chua in the United StatesHe is satisfied with his parenting skills, as he has sent three of his four children to Peking University, one of Chinas most prestigious higher learning institutions Such ways of stimulating children to learn are certainly scary enough to make those Chinese parents with deep pockets choose a foreign school for their kids As long as exams-oriented education continues, parents will look overseas for a better way to educate their children41How many of the wealthy Chinese interviewed were in favor of moving overseas?A14% of them B46% of themC32% of them D60% of them42What reason was given by the interviewed for their emigration to other countries?

AHow to achieve our goalsBThe best way to take exerciseCHow to make a difference in lifeDSuggestions for a healthy lifestyleDAntidepressant（抗忧郁） drugs such as Prozac were viewed in the early 1900s as wonder pills that would remove depressive blues for goodBut in the past five years, growing scientific evidence has shown these drugs work for only a minority of peopleAnd now a research journal says that these antidepressants can make many patients depression worseThis alarming suggestion centres on the very chemical that is targeted by antidepressants-serotonin （血清素）Drugs such as Prozac are known as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors （ or SSRIs）Their aim is to increase the level of this “feel-good” chemical in the brainBut the new research, published in the journal Frontiers In Evolutionary Psychology, points out that serotonin is like a chemical Swiss Army knife, performing a very wide range of jobs in the brain and bodyAnd when we start changing serotonin levels purposely, it may cause a wide range of unwanted effectsThese can include digestive problems and even early deaths in older people, according to the studys lead researcher Paul Andrews“We need to be much more cautious about use of these drugs,” says Andrews, an assistant professor of evolutionary psychology at McMaster University in Ontario, CanadaPrevious research has suggested that the drugs provide little benefit for most people with mild depression, and actively help only a few of the most severely depressedFamous psychologist Irving Kirsch has found that for many patients, SSRIs are no more effective than a placebo pillA research in xx on Danish children found a small, but significant, increase in the risk of heart problems among babies whose mothers had used SSRIs in early pregnancy（怀孕）“The key to understanding these side-effects is serotonin”, says AndrewsSerotonin is also the reason why patients can often end up feeling still more depressed after they have finished a course of SSRI drugsHe argues that SSRI antidepressants disturb the brain, leaving the patient an even greater depression than before“After long use, when a patient stops taking SSRIs, the brain will lower its levels of serotonin production,” he says, adding that it also changes the way receptors in the brain respond to serotonin, making the brain less sensitive to the chemicalThese changes are believed to be temporary, but studies indicate that the effects may continue for up to two yearsMost disturbingly of all, Andrews review features three recent studies which, he says, show that elderly antidepressant users are more likely to die earlier than non-users, even after taking other important variables into accountOne study, published in the British Medical Journal last year, found patients given SSRIs were more than 4 percent more likely to die in the next year than those not on the drugs“Serotonin is an ancient chemical,” says Andrews“It is regulating many different processes, and when you disturb these things, you can expect that it is going to cause some harm”Stafford Lightman, professor of medicine at the University of Bristol, and a leading UK expert in brain chemicals and hormones, says Andrews review highlights some important problems, yet it should also be taken with a pinch of salt“This report is doing the opposite of what drug panies do,” he says“Drug panies selectively present all the positives in their research, while this search selectively presents all the negatives that can be foundNevertheless, Andrews study is useful in that it is always worth pointing out that there is a downside to any medicine” Professor Lightman adds that t
