In England，if people need some help，they can go to Help the Aged，Shelter，Child Line，Weight Watchers and Relate for help．Help the Aged helps old people．Shelter helps the people with no place to live in．Child Line is a telephone help-line for children to call when they have problems．Weight Watchers helps fat people to be thinner and Relate helps people with problems when they can't get on well with（与……相处得好） others．

In universities（大学），students have their own counselors．Jan Murray is such a woman．She works in a university as a counselor．Students can come and see her if they need help．I asked her when her office was open and what kinds of problems students had．

“In my office，I'm here on any day during the week，and the other person is here in the evenings and on weekends．Students can find either of us in the office at any time．There's also an emergency telephone number at night．”

“People come to me with all kinds of problems．A lot of them are worried about their lessons and exams．Some worry about their money．Some need help with finding bedrooms．Sometimes they are ill and they want to talk about seeing doctors．The biggest problem is that though（虽然）universities are wonderful and interesting places，a lot of students find it difficult to make friends．They miss their families and friends and feel lost in this new place．My work is to listen and try to understand what they're feeling．But of course I also give them some ideas when it's needed．”

“I've had a visit from a young student today．I asked him what the matter was．He told me that he was lonely and unhappy（not happy）．He asked me if（是否）other students felt the same and he asked me where he could go to meet people．”

The clock struck（敲）eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of books. I was going to have my exam the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We pupils are the poorest creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one.1 was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed（祈祷）,"Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard later on, Amen." My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
