Do you know that girls are seven times more likely than boys to be unhappy and twice more likely to commit suicide(自殺)and that girls are three times more likely than boys to have a negative attitude？Twenty percent of the girls in the US between the ages of 12 and 17 drink alcohol(酒)and smoke cigarettes.
So what is mental(心理的)health？Mental health is how we think，feel，and act in order to face life’s problems.
A young girl’s mental health affects her daily life and future. Like physical health，mental health is important at every stage of life. Caring for and protecting a young girl’s mental health is important to ensure that she grows up to become the best she can be.
Many children experience mental health problems that are painful and can be serious. Mental health problems affect at least one in every five young people at any given time. Unluckily，about two thirds of all young people with mental health problems are not getting the help they need. Mental health problems can lead to school failure，alcohol or other drug abuse(濫用)，family violence，or even suicide.
There are many signs that may point to a possible mental health problem in a child or teenager. If you are worried about a child or have any questions，look for help at once. Talk to your doctor，a school teacher，or other mental health experts who are trained to know whether your child has a mental health problem. You can also call 1­800­789­2647 for a list of warning signs.

The clock rules our lives. The more we try to save time, the less time we seem to have. In every area of our lives we are doing things faster. And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, has started. Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and healthier way of life is possible.
The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that McDonald’s had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food. He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.
Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in small family restaurants, and to cook with traditional recipes.
The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement. The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people’s quality of life. Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions. Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia. There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since founding of the organization in 1999. Gao Chun County, in east China’s Jiangsu Province, is expected to be named the first “Slow City” in China next year.
“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,” said a local resident. “It is not ‘slow’ as in ‘stupid’. It is ‘slow’ as in the opposite of ‘worried’ and ‘stressful’.”
But not everybody is happy. For teenagers, who have to go 25km to Norwich, the nearest city, to buy CDs, living in a Slow City is not very attractive. “It’s all right here,” says Lewis Cook, 16. “But if you want excitement, you have to go to Norwich. We need more things here for young people.”
小題1:What’s the aim of the Slow Food movement?
A．To call on people to eat out.
B．To make people enjoy cooking.
C．To drive McDonald’s out of Rome
D．To encourage people to slow down.
小題2:All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT ______.
A．reducing traffic and noise
B．increasing the number of green areas
C．building more department stores
D．promoting local businesses and traditions
小題3:From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______.
A．the Slow Food was founded in 1999
B．there is no Slow City in China now
C．Slow Cities are mainly in the UK
D．there are about 24 Slow Cities in the world
小題4:What’s Lewis Cook’s attitude to living in a Slow City?
A．PositiveB．NeutralC．NegativeD．Indifferent
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Slow down and you’ll move fast
B．Time flies never to be recalled.
C．Eat slowly and you’ll be healthy.
D．Pay attention to the quality of life.

Compulsive（強迫的）shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress(苦惱).
“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as monomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr. Wilson said.
小題1:The compulsive shoppers will go shopping when ______.
A．they have lots of moneyB．they are taking drugs
C．they are feeling sadD．they win a prize
小題2:The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably refers to __________.
A．compulsive eatingB．a(chǎn) new psychological excuse
C．the study done by BlampiedD．the behavior of wild shopping
小題3:Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?
A．Teaching them to manage their money better.
B．Teaching them to understand their emotions.
C．Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.
D．Treating them with right drugs.
小題4:When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they __________.
A．feel distressed after their wild shopping
B．feel better after treatment from psychologists
C．a(chǎn)re better able to deal with stress problems
D．have a feeling of excitement after shopping

Most people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours，This kind of loneliness is not serious．In fact，it is quite normal．For some people，though，loneliness can last for years．Now researchers say loneliness comes in three different types．
The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind is situation，for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving to a new place．Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems，such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year．The third kind of loneliness is the most serious．Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of‘temporary’) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others．Unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．

However，psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts，they sometimes feel they should have more．They question their popularity．
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons：they are unhappy and unable to socialize arid there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease，while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition．

Everyone experiences stress at work, but how we cope with it varies. Feeling that you’ve been unfairly treated can be particularly stressful. Researchers believe that failure to express feelings about unfair treatment at work could have serious consequences on your health, especially men, who bottle up their anger at being unfairly treated at work, are up to 5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, or even die from one, than those who let their frustration （沮喪） show, a Swedish study has found.
The study by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University followed 2,755 employed men who had not suffered any heart attacks. At the end of the study, 47 participants had either suffered an attack, or died from heart disease, and many of those had been found to be covertly coping with unfair treatment at work.
“After adjustment for age, socioeconomic factors, risk behaviors, job strain and biological risk factors at baseline, there was a close-response relationship between covert coping and the risk of incident death,” the study’s authors wrote.
Covert coping was listed as “l(fā)etting thing pass without saying anything” and “going away” despite feelings of being hard done by colleagues or bosses. Men who often used these coping techniques had a two to five times higher risk of developing heart disease than those who were more confrontational (對抗性的) at work, the study showed.
The researchers said they could not answer the question of what might be a particularly healthy coping strategy at work, but listed open coping behavior when experiencing unfair treatment or facing a conflict as “protesting directly,” “talking to the person right away,” “yelling at the person right away” or “speaking to the person later when things have calmed down.” The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
小題1:The study mainly shows that 　　   　 .
A．women are less likely to suffer a heart attack than men
B．most people die of heart disease caused by stress
C．covert coping may result in certain heart trouble
D．employers should treat their workers equally
小題2:Which of the following contributes to the accuracy of the study?
A．The participants were all employed men.
B．The participants tend to bottle up their temper.
C．The participants should not have risk behaviors.
D．The participants had not a history of heart attacks.
小題3: According to the text, if treated unfairly a confrontational person will 　　   　 .
A．just let it be
B．fight back immediately
C．go away silently
D．work even harder
小題4:The last paragraph is intended to tell readers 　　 .
A．that the study is official
B．what the healthiest coping strategy is
C．what the helpful ways of handling unfair treatment are
D．that confrontation is always beneficial to people’s heart health

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people--- especially young people –have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, especially processed food(加工過的食品), is not good for the health. As a result, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives(添加劑) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers(化肥), widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple words, this means that the soil has been nourished(給…營養(yǎng)) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming area.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed move freely in healthy pastures(牧場). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry(家禽)：there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
There are other sides of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually unnecessary food. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre.
小題1:People have become more interested in natural foods because______.
A．they want to keep healthy
B．they want to taste all kinds of foods
C．natural foods are more delicious than processed foods
D．they want to return to nature
小題2:Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that _____.
A．they are fed on food which is little better than garbage
B．they live in very crowded condition
C．the eggs they produce lack vitamins
D．they are allowed to move about and eat freely
小題3:According to the passage, ______.
A．people can only find sugar to give them energy
B．sugar is bad for the health
C．the use of sugar is habit forming
D．sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful

LONDON—Life for Cathy Hagner and her three children is set to permanent(永久的) fast-forward.
Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.
Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework. In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.
Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.
"Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress," says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.
Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.
"There is a new parenting trend under way which says that you have to tap all your child's potential at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Alter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist （青少年精神病專家）
"It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behaviour is now well accepted."
小題1:From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that ______.
A．Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons
B．Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job
C．Hagner is interested in spots and music
D．Hagner busies herself by following a trend
小題2:British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _____.
A．treat their children as spots players
B．pay no attention to their children's lessons
C．bring up their children in a simple way
D．give their children little time to develop freely
小題3:The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ______.
A．a(chǎn)ctivities in the country are too competitive
B．children should attend four clubs at a time
C．some clubs result in competitive pressures
D．clubs should have more subjects for school children
小題4:The last paragraph tells us that in Britain ______.
A．parents used to take their children to every club
B．parents used to be wise on how to raise children
C．parents have all benefited from children's clubs
D．parents have come to know the standard of education

Are you nervous about climbing because you think it’s too dangerous? Do you feel you’re not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing?
Let’s consider the idea that climbing is dangerous. Being afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe. Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous. Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicity. As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality.
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away. Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time. It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness. Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing—go to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period.
Discover as much as you can about climbing. Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation. Look up information on the Internet. Find out about equipment, methods and places to go.
Next, take a course on a climbing wall. There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors. Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.
小題1:The article is written by ______.
A．a(chǎn) doctorB．a(chǎn)n experienced climber
C．a(chǎn) beginnerD．a(chǎn) fitness instructor
小題2:The writer thinks a new climber should ______.
A．begin by becoming fit
B．be aware of the causes of the accidents
C．have the courage to meet the challenges
D．do enough sports to get interested in climbing
小題3:By climbing walls you can ______.
A．join a club you like B．become qualified instructors
C．gain controlled experienceD．take part in group-climbing events
小題4:The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A．the climbB．the trainingC．the equipmentD．the achievement
