After their 20-year-old son hanged himself during his winter break from the University of Arizona five years ago, Donna and Phil Satow wondered what signs they have overlooked, and started asking other students for answers.
What grew from this soul searching was Ulifeline (www. Ulifeline. org), a Web site where students can get answers to questions about depression by logging on through their universities. The site has been adopted as a resource by over 120 colleges, which can customize it with local information, and over 1.3 million students have logged on with their college ID’s.
“It is a very solid Web site that raises awareness of suicide, de-stigmatizes mental illness and encourages people to seek the help they need,”said Paul Grayson, the director of counseling services at New York University, which started using the service nearly a year ago.
The main component of the Web site is the Self-screening program developed by Duke University Medical Center that tests students to determine whether they are at risk for depression, suicide and disorders like anorexia and drug dependences. Besides helping students, the services compiles anonymous student date, offering administrators an important window onto the mental health of its campus.
The site provides university users with links to local mental health services, a catalog of information on prescription drugs and side effects, and access to Go Ask Alice, a vast archive developed by Columbia University with hundreds of responses to anonymously posted inquires from college students worldwide. For students concerned about their friends, there is a section that describes warning signs for suicidal behavior and depression.
Yet it is hard to determine how effective the service is. The anonymity of the online service can even play out as a negative. “There is no substitute for personal interaction(個(gè)人互動(dòng)才能解決)，” said Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology, based in Washington.
Ulifeline would be the first to say that its service is no replacement for an actual therapist. “The purpose is to find out if there are signs of depression and then direct people to the right places,” said Ron Gibori, executive director of Ulifeline.
Mrs. Satow, who is still involved with Ulifeline, called it “a knowledge base” that might have prevented the death of her son, Jed. “If Jed’s friends had known the signs of depression, they might have seen something,” she said.
小題1: The first paragraph is written to_________.
A．report a suicide of a young man
B．show the suffering of Mr. And Mrs. Satow
C．describe the Satows’ confusion over their son’s death
D．introduce the topic of a website called Ulifeline.
小題2:One reason that many colleges adopt the website is to _________
A．provide their students with campus information
B．offer medical treatment to students in mental disorder
C．encourage their students to seek advice about depression
D．give their students various help they may need
小題3: Go Ask Alice as mentioned in the passage is________
A．a(chǎn) side effect caused by some prescription drugs
B．intended to counsel college students in mental problems
C．a(chǎn) collection of medical responses from students the world over
D．meant to describe the various signs of mental disorders
小題4:The underlined sentence of the seventh paragraph implies that ______
A．only actual therapy can ensure adequate treatment
B．the help given by the web service is doubtful
C．doctors have expressed a negative view of the service
D．a(chǎn) therapist’s office is the first place for the depressed to go
小題5: Mrs. Satow would probably agree that _________
A．Jed’s friends can prevent her son’s death
B．her son’s suicide is unavoidable
C．Ulifeline is a worthwhile website
D．depression is the final cause of suicides

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

       How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.
A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn't mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation（參與）. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility（責(zé)任） for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.
Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.
小題1: The passage is mainly about how to _____.
A．get men to take on some housework
B．get men to serve their families
C．praise men’ housework
D．make men do all the housework
小題2:According to the passage, a man_____.
A．is willing to do housework
B．likes to be told to do housework
C．is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood
D．likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it
小題3:In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_____.
A．order them to do their share
B．a(chǎn)sk them to do some housework politely
C．blame men’s laziness
D．monitor men’s work
小題4:According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t _____.
A．work without any payment
B．do unimportant household tasks
C．do housework without women’s praise
D．please their wives
小題5: According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?
A．Cleaning the table.B．Doing some sewing.
C．Painting the fence.D．Asking his wife to work on the yard.

“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid – term exams were going on.
The 18 – year – old girl was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’ an No. 1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, although two famous universities in mainland promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in（主修）journalism, so Hong Kong will surly help widen my horizons,” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dormitory if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours of classes every week and 23 non – credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare.

Saturday 28 April, 2001: Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday. Mr. Tito’s journey was  certainly unusual! So was the transport he chose, and the price of his trip.
The 60-year-old multi-millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship.  He was on a journey to the International Space Station. It might have been a routine trip for the  two astronauts who were traveling with him, but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey.  Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space, and he had paid the sum of $20 million to go there.  As the spacecraft left the earth’s atmosphere, Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate and  looked down at the earth’s blue-green surface. Two minutes later, he was sick. Luckily it was  only a minor problem. He soon recovered, and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey. When he  arrived at the space station, there was a big smile on his face. “A great trip!” he commented． “I  love space.”
For a long time space travel was something for heroes. But all this is going to change.  Companies like ProSpace are investing large amounts of money in space travel. They want space  and space travel to belong to the public, not just governments. There are other plans, like voyages  through space from one side of the world to the other. Maybe we will be able to depart from New  York at nine o’clock in the morning, and arrive an hour later-- in Tokyo! Such a schedule would  allow the business traveler to return to New York on the same day, and still have eight hours for a  meeting!
小題1:Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Business TravelersB．Space TouristsC．A Space ExplorationD．A Frightening Adventure
小題2:According to the passage, Dennis Tito   .
A．enjoyed his trip very much B．was too sick to eat anything in space
C．suffered a lot during the tripD．didn’t think the trip was worthwhile
小題3:Which of the following statements is tree according to the passage?
A．Tito was the first American tourist in space.
B．Tito contributed all of his wealth to his space trip.
C．Tito visited the Russian Space Station during his trip.
D．Space travel has become a routine for Tito since then.
小題4:It can be expected from the passage that   .
A．space travel will belong to the public instead of governments
B．a(chǎn)irplanes will some day reach the speed of space vehicles
C．can will be able to circle the earth within less than an hour

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack(裂縫) in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
This went on daily. The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment. Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you.”
“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back. And you do no get full value for your efforts” the pot explained.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”
As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little.
The bearer said, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?” That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”
小題1:Why did the cracked pot feel ashamed?
A．Because it didn’t hold water.
B．Because the water bearer didn’t like it.
C．It couldn’t water the flowers well.
D．Because it could only accomplish half of its load.
小題2:How would the cracked pot feel at the end of the story?
A．Delighted with itself.B．Disappointed with itself.
C．Prouder than the other pot.D．Still ashamed of itself.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．There were flowers on both sides of the path.
B．The cracked pot was more useful than the perfect one.
C．We sometimes don’t have to mind too much the way we are.
D．The water bearer preferred the perfect pot to the cracked one.
