3. 情态动词can后需接动词原形，短语benefit from表示“从……受益”，符合“从良好沟通技巧中受益”的语境，故填benefit from；
4. 固定搭配on social media表示“在社交媒体上”，符合语境，故填social media。

三、读写综合。
（一）回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
Young people may have mental（心理的）problems. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. And some have problems in getting on with others.
Here are two examples. Liu Wei, a ninth-grade student from Hefei, can't understand what his teachers say in class. Sometimes he can't finish his schoolwork on time. He becomes really worried about it. Another student is Yang Fang. She's 14 and she's from Zhongshan. She is afraid of exams. When she looks at the exam paper, she can't write anything. She is worried too.
In fact, such worries are quite common among young people. According to a report, about 18% of teenagers in Shanghai have mental problems. They often feel worried and unhappy. They have problems in learning or getting on with others. Sadly, some of them don't ask their friends or parents for help. They think others will laugh at them if they ask for help or go to the doctor. Others don't even realise they have mental problems.
So what can teenagers do? Liang Yuezhu, an expert on teenage mental health, gives the following advice:
• Talk to your parents or teachers often.
• Take part in group activities and play sports.
• Go to the doctor if you always feel worried.
Remember, asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness（懦弱）. So if you are feeling down, reach out to someone today.
1. Who is Liu Wei?

2. What is Yang Fang afraid of?

3. According to the passage, what problems do the teenagers in Shanghai have?

4. Why don't some teenagers in Shanghai ask their friends or parents for help?
