I've been acting strangely and one of my friends started to get really worried about it, so she asked me to take a depression quiz online. All six of the quizzes said I had depression. I'm really scared and I don't know what to do. I can't tell anyone because they won't really care. I am scared and lonely. What should I do? Thanks for helping.

Dear Kate,

    There are a number of reasons for your depression and the most important thing you can do now is to see a doctor. If you cannot do that through your family, go to the school doctor and ask for help. Before you go, make a list of your symptoms (症状). If you understand the reasons for your feelings and behavior, you can begin to find out good solutions. And you should not do that again.

   Your friend is worried about you, and that friend can help you make a full list of symptoms and questions for the doctor. I'm sure you can find an adult. The adult should care about your problem. I hope my suggestions will help you a lot.

      My father died when I was little kid. We were too poor buy food. My mother got two part-time jobs to pay for (I) education. She did everything to make me live (happy). 

      At age of twenty-two, I found a good job. However, a few (month) later, the doctor told me I had a stomach cancer. It’s difficult for me to (accept) the fact. My mother (cook) simple but delicious food for me. 

      After another CT, the doctor told me my tumor (肿瘤) got much (small) than before, and I was away from the (dangerous) of the cancer.

    Madan was able to make clothes. And he was famous for the clothes. The people in the whole town wanted the clothes. One night, Madan said, "I am sure I can 1 a dress for the moon. I will be famous on the moon too."

    The wind carried his 2 to the coconut(椰子) tree. The tree said, "You can't do one thing."

    The coconut tree 3 to say something more, but Madan would not 4.

    Madan made a dress for the moon. He called out to the coconut tree, "You must give this dress to the moon, because I cannot 5 her." The coconut tree agreed.    Soon the coconut tree said, "The moon 6 your dress is too big."

    Madan was 7, but the moon really returned the dress to him. So he had to redo(重做) it. He spent the night making the dress a little 8 and gave it back to the tree. But the moon gave it back to him 9.

    "I tried to tell you about it before," said the tree. "After the moon is full, she grows smaller each day until you can't 10 her at all. So how can you make one dress that would fit the moon?"

    It is easier to float in the ocean than in a swimming pool. Do you know why?

    Ocean water is full of salt - and salt water can hold up more weight than fresh water. See for yourself! (Ask an adult to help you.)  You will need: 3 cups warm water; A wide-mouth jar（罐）; Salt; A spoon; A potato. You will do: 1. Pour 1.5 cups of warm water into the jar. 2. Add 1/3 cup of salt.  3. Stir(搅拌) until the salt is completely dissolved(完全溶解) 4. Add another l.5 cups of water. Pour it slowly over the back of the spoon into the jar so that the two kinds of water will not mix together. 5. Softly place the potato into the jar. Don't drop it. What will happen: The potato will sink - but only halfway! Why: Salt water is heavier than fresh water, so it will stay on the bottom. The fresh water will remain on the top. The potato is heavier than the fresh water, but it is lighter than the salt water. That is why the potato will sink only halfway down.
