      Teachers using red pens to mark students'work could be harming their psyche(心理)as the color is
too aggressive,  according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government.
     The "Good Mental Health Rocks" kit,  which was distributed this month to about 30 schools in
Queensland State,  offers strategies such as "Don't mark in red pens(which can be seen as
aggressive)-use a different color."Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day,
  apologizing to students when necessary and asking students to conduct a "personal skill audit(審查)"
where they focus on their individual strengths rather than their weaknesses.
     The kit,  designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health problems in the classroom,  
suggests social and emotional wellbeing has been linked to young people's schooling,  among other things.
The education aid has sparked a row in parliament(議會(huì)),  with deputy opposition leader Mark McArdle calling it "kooky,  loony,  loopy lefty policies."
     But Health Minister Stephen Robertson,  whose department devised the kit,  said youth suicide was
a serious issue."If mental health professionals determine that as one of a number of strategies teachers
should consider,  and then I'll support them every day,  "he told reporters recently."This is not a matter
for ridicule;  this is serious".
      According to some Australian mental health groups,  the greatest number of people with mental illness
is aged between 18 and 24 years,  with 14 percent of Australian children and adolescents suffering from
some sort of illness.Boys are slightly more likely to experience mental health problems than girls and
depression is one of the most common conditions among young people and increases during
adolescence,  the website of mental health group Mindframe said.

Auctions（拍賣）are public sales of goods conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd gathered in the auction-room to make offers or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.

Almost all goods of various qualities are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also useful for land and property, antique（古董）, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china（瓷器）, and works of art.

An auction is usually advertised beforehand with a full description of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues（目錄）are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “l(fā)ot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1, and continue with Lot 2, Lot 3 and so on; he may wait until he sees certain dealers in the room and then produces the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.

The auctioneer must know quite accurately the current market values of the goods he is selling, and he should be acquainted（熟悉）with regular buyers of such goods. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also encourage the rivals among buyers to bid against each other in order to get a high price. It is largely in his advice that a seller will fix a “reserved” price, that is, a price below which the goods cannot be sold. Even the best auctioneer, however, finds it difficult to stop a “knock-out”（連襠拍貨）, because dealers illegally arranged beforehand not to bid against each other, but choose one of them as the only bidder, in the hope of buying goods at very low prices. If such a “ knock-out” succeeds, the real auction sale takes place privately afterwards among the dealers.

1. At what prices are auctioned goods usually sold?

A. The reserved prices fixed by sellers.

B. The prices officially approved.

C. the highest prices offered by bidders.

D. The prices the dealers arranged beforehand.

2. Which of the following statements about an auctioneer is NOT true according to the passage?

A. He encourages buyers to bid higher prices.

B. He gives advice to sellers.

C. He should know the current values of the goods on sale.

D. He is a government official.

3. “A reserved price” in the last paragraph means______.

A. a price which an article can be sold at

B. a price below which an article cannot be sold

C. a price fixed by the local government

D. a price acceptable to possible buyers

4. Even the best auctioneer finds it hard to stop a “knock-out” because______.

A. dealers sometimes arranged in advance not to bid against each other

B. he is not familiar with the regular buyers

C. he does not know the values of the goods

D. he has never heard of such a thing

閱讀理解.
     Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe
had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like,
mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people
who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.
Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking
the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their
mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their
children as sandwiches.
     Tea remained scarce (缺少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East
India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During
the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could
afford to buy it.
     At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．
Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named
Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found
it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great
lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with
milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons
drink tea without milk.
     At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking
tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake
at three or four o'clock stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her
friends to have this new meal with her and so tea-time was born.
1．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?_____
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
2．This passage mainly discusses______.
A．the history of tea drinking in Britain
B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D．how tea-time was born
3.Tea became a popular drink in Britain.______
A．in eighteenth century
B．in sixteenth century
C．in seventeenth century
D．in the late seventeenth century
4．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because._____
A．it tasted like milk
B．it tasted more pleasant
C．it became a popular drink
D．Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to
copy the way she drank tea
5．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due
to the influence of_______.
A．a(chǎn) famous French lady
B．the ancient Chinese
C．the upper social class
D．people in Holland
