Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting (咬) their nails(指甲). We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused(专心的). But in fact, it is more than that and science has proved it.

Nail biting can begin at an early age. According to the BBC, up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails. There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most commonly, nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom or excitement.

What's more, scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence(智力) are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the average person, those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily. This habit is bad for the biters. It can give them red or

sore fingertips. And long- term nail biting can affect (影响) how our nails grow.

But don't worry!There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean.The more you focus on(集中于) taking care of your nails. the less likely you are to start biting them again. Also, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.

Have your parents ever helped you with schoolwork or other projects(项目)?    31    .

Du Peng from Hebei has a story to share. He said that while in middle school, his mother often signed him up(报名) for English speaking contests (比赛). To help her son win, Du's mother once asked an English teacher to help write a speech draft(稿子).

“Although I got good results at the contest, I didn't feel proud,”Du said.     32     . Nearly 90percent of Chinese parents said that they have helped their kids too much in school, according to a recent survey of 1,504 parents done by China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, 70 percent of parents agreed that overparenting(过度照顾孩子) could lead to a loss of their children's independence.Children, on the other hand, want to do things by themselves.

“   33    ,”said Liu Jiawei, 13, from Jilin. "Eventually(最终) we will leave our parents.So it's better to develop skills and live independently as early as possible."

   34     . Jiang Qi, 12, is from Beijing. He said that his parents would sometimes help him by making PowerPoint presentations and creating handmade works. “Our teachers have very high expectations for us,”Jiang said.“If my parents didn't help me while other students still got help from their parents, I would be criticized(批评) for not doing as well as others."“If schools could set more reasonable criteria (标准) and stop unfair competition, the situation would be improved," Jiang's mother said.

A. Du is not alone.
