It’s a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week,two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.對(duì)于整個(gè)華中科技大學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō),這簡(jiǎn)直就是場(chǎng)噩夢(mèng):一周之內(nèi),兩名學(xué)生在宿舍跳樓自殺。
Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.校方官員們不愿接受采訪。
“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan,one official of HUST.
“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said.他說(shuō),“媒體的報(bào)道將會(huì)再次引發(fā)學(xué)生的消極情緒,自殺是會(huì)傳染的!
The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.對(duì)于今年10月23號(hào)發(fā)生的第一起自殺事件,華中科技大學(xué)迅速做出應(yīng)急措施。
Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.輔導(dǎo)員和班長(zhǎng)們走訪了每個(gè)宿舍,找出遭遇抑郁的學(xué)生。然后,心理咨詢師會(huì)為這些學(xué)生提供一對(duì)一的心理咨詢。
Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.宿舍樓前豎起一些布告欄,為同學(xué)們普及關(guān)于如何發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊人遭遇心理問(wèn)題并提供幫助的小貼士。印有類似內(nèi)容的小冊(cè)子也被分發(fā)給每個(gè)寢室。
However,the second suicide came seven days later.然而,七天后,第二起自殺事件發(fā)生了。
Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.據(jù)周?chē)嗣枋,這兩名學(xué)生都很少言寡語(yǔ)。他們的同學(xué)都沒(méi)有覺(jué)察到任何自殺前的征兆。
Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.章勁元透露,這兩名學(xué)生曾經(jīng)飽受心理疾病的困擾。但是學(xué)校對(duì)此并不知情,他們校外的好友和家長(zhǎng)也是在自殺事件發(fā)生后才說(shuō)出實(shí)情。
According to Zhang,there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”據(jù)章勁元說(shuō),全校共有六萬(wàn)名學(xué)生,但學(xué)校的心理咨詢中心只有三位全職心理咨詢師。他抱怨說(shuō):“僅僅依靠心理咨詢師來(lái)察覺(jué)學(xué)生的心理問(wèn)題,這是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。”
Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency,said Hu Yi’an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.有效的預(yù)防來(lái)自于長(zhǎng)期的生命教育,而并非遭遇緊急狀況時(shí)的臨時(shí)干預(yù),胡毅安(音譯)說(shuō)。他在廣州大學(xué)教授以生命和死亡為主題的課程。他為各大高校給予生命教育的關(guān)注少之又少而擔(dān)憂。
“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu.“生命教育可以幫助學(xué)生尊重、熱愛(ài)生命,這樣一來(lái),當(dāng)他們遇到困難的時(shí)候就不會(huì)選擇結(jié)束生命了,” 胡毅安說(shuō)。
According to Hu,the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.胡毅安還表示,這些觀念可以融入到日常教學(xué)中去。
Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.胡老師也很擔(dān)心一些大學(xué)傳遞出帶有歧視性的信息會(huì)使得學(xué)生們不愿去尋求幫助。
When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination,students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March,Peking University also released a controversial policy,which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.當(dāng)華中科技大學(xué)校方挨個(gè)宿舍進(jìn)行走訪時(shí),學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)較差的學(xué)生也被給予了特別關(guān)照。三月份,北京大學(xué)也推行了一項(xiàng)備受爭(zhēng)議的政策,該新規(guī)要求教師們要找那些學(xué)生中的“激進(jìn)分子”談話。
However,Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication.

Imagine that the genome (基因組) is a book.The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels.There are one billion words in the book, as long as 800 Bibles; if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me centuries; if I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube.This is a huge volume, a book of great length, but it all fits inside an extremely small cell nuclear(細(xì)胞核) that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor.It is true to a great extent.A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings.So is a genome.The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right while some from right to left, but never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengthens using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in words of three-letter length, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子).
The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself.

  1. 1.

    How do human genomes read according to the passage?___________

    1. A.
      Only from left to right.
    2. B.
      Only from right to left.
    3. C.
      From both directions at the same time.
    4. D.
      From one direction at a time.
  2. 2.

    We can learn from the passage that the human genome ________.

    1. A.
      is as long as the River Danube
    2. B.
      can be easily placed on the head of a pin
    3. C.
      is coded with an alphabet of four letters
    4. D.
      is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
  3. 3.

    It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.

    1. A.
      specialists in the field
    2. B.
      general readers
    3. C.
      natural scientists
    4. D.
      readers with professional knowledge
  4. 4.

    The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____.

    1. A.
      to focus on the differences between the two
    2. B.
      to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
    3. C.
      to simplify the concept of the human genome
    4. D.
      to give an exact description of the human genome

It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野)
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, 1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can’t find enough food, they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey (獵物) will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生態(tài)平衡). If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We’d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf'” will not disappear.
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. And has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.

  1. 1.

    Some people are against killing wolves because ________.

    1. A.
      there are too many deer in the wilderness
    2. B.
      wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
    3. C.
      wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness
    4. D.
      there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
  2. 2.

    According to those against killing wolves, when wolves eat other animals, ________.

    1. A.
      they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
    2. B.
      they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
    3. C.
      they never eat strong and healthy ones
    4. D.
      they always go against the law of nature
  3. 3.

    The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases _______.

    1. A.
      wolves will find enough food sources on farms
    2. B.
      people will leave the areas where wolves can live
    3. C.
      farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
    4. D.
      wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them

A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (轉(zhuǎn)盤(pán)), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan.
A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (櫥柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis(軸心) . One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.
It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called “dumbwaiter” at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留聲機(jī)). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later.
Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term “l(fā)azy Susan” was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term “dumbwaiter” is still used rather than “l(fā)azy Susan”. The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.

  1. 1.

    What is a “l(fā)azy Susan”?

    1. A.
      A waitress
    2. B.
      A convenient tool
    3. C.
      A table
    4. D.
      A cabinet
  2. 2.

    According to those who believed Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, _______.

    1. A.
      his daughter was very lazy
    2. B.
      the lazy Susan didn’t exist until the 18th century
    3. C.
      Thomas Edison was his friend
    4. D.
      Thomas Edison didn’t invent the phonograph
  3. 3.

    We can learn from the last paragraph that ___________.

    1. A.
      the lazy Susan can work by itself
    2. B.
      the lazy Susan was named after Thomas Edison’s daughter
    3. C.
      how the lazy Susan got its name remains unknown
    4. D.
      the lazy Susan was invented in Britain
  4. 4.

    The writer wrote the passage mainly to _________.

    1. A.
      discuss how the lazy Susan was named
    2. B.
      teach us how to make a lazy Susan
    3. C.
      introduce Thomas Edison’s inventions

Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite, just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is—schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication.
You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read,    from first word to last, not just thrown into some “l(fā)etters-to-be-read” files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.

  1. 1.

    In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because _______.

    1. A.
      both are enjoyable

      both are hard to learn
    3. C.
      both are necessary to life
    4. D.
      both take a long time to prepare

    according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

    1. A.
      Writing skills are less important than experience.

      A good writer should have his own way of writing.

    1. A.
      to earn our living

      to do daily reports easily

During his college years, Rogers spent his summer holidays at an Idaho logging camp (伐木場(chǎng)). When Roy, the manager, had to leave for a few days, he put Rogers in charge. "What if the workers refuse to follow my orders?" Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who was always giving the other men a hard time. "Fire them," Roy said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, "I suppose you want to fire Tony if you get the chance. I’d feel bad about that. Tony is the most reliable worker I’ve ever had. I know he complains a lot, but he comes first and leaves last. There has not been an accident on the hill where he works for eight years." Rogers took over the manager’s job the next day. He went to Tony and spoke to him, "Tony, did you know that I’m in charge today?" Tony didn’t show any respect or interest. "I was going to fire you because you once gave me a hard time, but I want you to know I’m not," he told Tony, adding what Roy had said. When Rogers finished, tears streamed down Tony’s face. That day Tony worked harder than ever before —and he smiled for the first time! Rogers went back to school after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again. He was in charge of one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he managed to become so successful. Tony replied, "If it were not for that time you spoke to me back in Idaho, I would not be myself today. That one minute changed my whole life." Have you got one minute to appreciate someone? It can make a difference for a lifetime.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(購(gòu)物手推車(chē)). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地?cái)y帶) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.

  1. 1.

    The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______.
    (No more than 3 words)

  2. 2.

    What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (No more than 10 words)

  3. 3.

    Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (No more than 10 words)

    Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (No more than 10 words)
