Gabriel is a 21﹣year﹣old Argentinean barber（阿根廷理发师）who was born without hands． But he was able to grow up happy and independent because he always had the support of friends and family． In fact， his inspiration for such work was his mother， who is a hairdresser． At the age of 14， he began to take interest in her work and learned all kinds of hair cutting skills from her． Although he first saw it as an interest， Gabriel quickly decided that this was his dream job．

At some point in life，many people develop a mental（精神） problem．While most people get over it，for others it doesn't go away easily．
The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness．It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020．It will become one of the main causes of illness，and even death．
In China，the picture isn't bright，either．About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge．
The world is changing fast．Study and relationships have always caused stress，but today the stress is much higher than before，the WHO said．
A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school．For example，they experience bullying（欺凌）．In a 2017 report，the centre noted that the Internet was a special source（渠道）of stress．Online，young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures"，says the centre．
Also，according to China Daily，Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems．They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble．Elaine Peng，a US mental health educator，makes a similar point．And in the UK，over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma．It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem．
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future．Elaine Peng warned that，"If we hide our mental health，it may remain a problem forever．"
"My message for young people is，if you feel something is wrong with you﹣ask for help，"he told China Daily．

Did you take part in a camp this summer？ There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same To choose which camp is best for you， first you must do a bit of research．
Maybe you've never thought about it before， but every great summer camp has the same main goals﹣opportunity， challenge and growth．
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special． It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity． For example， if you interested in writing， then you can choose to join a journalism（新闻）camp． You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there．
Challenge means you are given a task． You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge． Then you will have a sense of achievement． For example， you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps． If you pass the exam， then you will receive a certificate（证书） to become a real lifeguard．
