Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and, most importantly, bright futures make them the envy of society.However, in recent years, we've read more reports of student suicides. Perhaps that's simply because of society's obsession with youth. But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of young people.Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides. Not surprisingly, the top factors usually include psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure. Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market.Thankfully, more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services to address students' mental and psychological problems. These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties.From appointing in-house student counselors lo setting up hotlines and recruiting students to help their troubled peers, many universities are making proactive efforts to fight student depression. There is no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helping students and saving lives.However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves. Whatever efforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask help. Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help. By shutting themselves away, they can easily fall into vicious cycles, becoming even more vulnerable to personal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world.While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreach programs are a step forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help. These dangers are a reality for every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed.41. Why are there so many students that commit suicide?A. Because of psychological and physical sickness.B. Feel hopeless and confused about their future.C. Emotional trouble.D. All of the above.42. Which of the following is WRONG according to the article?A. No university had a whole day hotline providing suicidc-prcvcntion counseling before March.B. Many people envy the college students their bright futures.C. Only the students who feel confused and depressed have psychological problems and need psychological education.D. The problems of student suicides indicate the increasing troubled mental state of young people.43. What is the key to avoid student suicides?A. Parents communicate with their children and understand them.B. Colleges and universities offer more help to students.C. Students themselves realize their problems and seek help from others.D. Friends give more comfort and show more understanding to the problemstudents.44. This article is probably a/an.A. narration B. advertisement C. commentary D. argumentationWhich of the following can be the best title for the article?A. Help is at hand for suicidal students.B. More college students commit suicide.C. How can students avoid committing suicide?D. Why college students feel depressed?BFive thousand years ago, people thought that illnesses were the result of evil living in human bodies. They also believed that gods and superior spirits were punishing people through diseases. The practice of magic and witchcraft （巫术）was popular among many tribes, and charms （符咒）and images of gods to drive away the evil spirits were often used.People also started using herbal（草药的）medicine and by trial and error （反复试验, 不断摸索）learned how to cure stomachaches and fevers. They had a witch doctor in the community. He would treat people with simple herbal medicine and magic. Early medicine was practiced the way north tribal Indians did hundreds of years ago and the way some tribes practice it today.The ancient Chinese believed that the body was ruled by two forces, which they called “yin" and “yang”. The body would become ill if one force overcame the other and the balance between them was changed. Acupuncture （针刺疗法）was the way to bring back the balance between the two.Also sand painting was an important part of Navaho medicine. The medicine man paints loosely upon the floor of an carth-covcrcd house, where the ceremony takes place, or on a buckskin （鹿皮）or a piece of cloth, by letting the colored sands flow through his fingers with control and skill.Ancient Mesopotamians believed that diseases come either from an evil spirit or a physical problem, such as worms. The doctor would decide from which source the illness has come from and send the patient either to a herbalist or to a witch doctor.Egyptians had a very advanced medicine. They would sometimes rely on the god's power to receive healing, but they also treated illnesses and operated on minor health problems like snake bites. They sucked the blood from the wound and bound the affected limb to stop the poison from spreading.45. The practice of magic and witchcraft was popular in ancient times because.A. people could avoid being punished by gods and superior spirits by doing this.B. people thought they could avoid getting diseases in this way.C. people believed the evil spirits could be driven away in this way.D. people often got diseases and this way was very effective.46. How many places are mentioned where early medicine existed in the passage?A. Three. B. Four C. Five. D. Six.47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that.A. people can cure lots of diseases by combining herbal medicine and magic.B. herbal medicine is so effective that it can cure all kinds of diseases.C. witch doctors treated people only with herbal medicine.D. people tried lots of times to cure illnesses with herbal medicine.48. Ancient Chinese people believed that.A. diseases were the result of evil living in human bodies.B. people would fall ill if the balance in human bodies was disturbed.C. a medicine man could cure people's diseases by sand painting.D. diseases not only came from evil spirits but also were physical problems 50. The passage mainly tells us.A. why ancient people became ill.B. about the most advanced medicine in ancient times.C. about the development of herbal medicine.D. how ancient people cured their diseases.CSo far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species (物种)，and that's just a small part of what probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by.A soon-to-be-launched website might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web - based Encyclopedia of Life (EOL). The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join. Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year. Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they've seen and where. The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available.As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in thei
