An increase in the number of suicides in South Korea, has led policeman Yoo Byoung-jong to a new job. He patrols(巡逻) Seoul’s bridges to stop desperate people from throwing themselves into the river.

According to South Korea’s health ministry, suicide rates have doubled in a decade and are now the leading cause of death for people in their 20s and 30s.

The country has the fourth-highest suicide rate among the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization for Co-operation and Development (OECD). It recorded 22.8 suicide deaths for every 100,000 people in 2003. That’s lower than Hungry, Finland and close neighbour Japan. But the number is growing by about 1 percent each year, faster than for all other OECD nations.

In a move to cut suicides by a fifth by 2010, the health ministry is running a television ad campaign. It opens with a lonely man walking on a bridge. A voice over says: “Think five minutes more before you give it all away. Don’t forget you have a loving family.”

Other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors. Authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic(有毒的) chemicals.

Distressed individuals range from students worried about poor grades to people in debt as well as disgraced politicians.

Experts say the rising toll(死亡人数) in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent high-profile suicides. These include top business leaders and celebrities(名人) who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.

“We saved 50 lives this year when people turned to bridges as a place to die after news reports of such deaths by ‘big shots’,” said the 38-year-oldYoo, in December.

Last July, the government and civil associations urged media to avoid reporting specific methods and locations of suicides. But it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.

1.The passage is mainly about________.

A. suicide problems in Korea          B. how to reduce suicides in Korea

C. desperation                        D. the relations between life and suicide

2.Suicide rates in South Korea    .

A. have done great harm to the economical development

B. are going from bad to worse

C. didn’t draw special attention of the government

D. arouse international concerns

3.It doesn’t say but implies that    .

A. present hotlines are not enough for suicide counsellors

B. people choose suicide as the way to end their lives because they are short of love

C. cutting suicides by a fifth by 2010 is easy to carry out

D. authorities manage websites efficiently

4.Lowering the number of reported suicide by celebrities in the media in Korea   .

A. will be limited

B. didn’t affect people’s daily life

C. might cause fewer people to commit suicide

D. damage the fame of media

5.Yoo Byoung-jong’s new job to patrol Seoul’s bridge has    .

The opening of the Sherlock Holmes Museum to the public on March 27, 1990, was an event that should have happened several decades ago. Baker Street is, after all, one of the world’s most famous streets because of its long association with the great detective.

Thousands of people all over the world write to Sherlock Holmes, they form clubs and societies in his honor, and they celebrate his anniversaries. Now it is also possible to see where and how he lived in Victorian times!

Here visitors will recognize familiar objects mentioned in the stories. You can take as many photographs as you want (the maid will be pleased to assist) and when you are ready to leave, a ride home in a horse-drawn carriage will complete your 19th century experience!

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson lived at 221b Baker Street from about 1881 to 1904. Apartment 221b was on the first floor of a lodging house, which they rented from a Mrs Hudson. The famous study that Holmes and his friend Dr Watson shared for almost 25 years is on the first floor overlooking Baker Street.

We know from Doctor Watson’s descriptions that their sitting room overlooking Baker Street was “illuminated(照明、照亮) by two broad windows” and that it was quite small.

Doctor Watson’s bedroom was on the second floor next to Mrs Hudson’s room and it overlooked an open yard at the back of the house. These rooms are used today for exhibits, where center stage is taken by a magnificant bronze bust(半身像)of Mr Holmes. Visitors can browse through literature, paintings, photographs and newspapers of the period. Memorabilia（纪念品） from the adventures and a selection of letters written to and from Mr Holmes are also on display.

The museum’s large and attractive souvenir shop is located on the ground floor. Here you will find a unique collection of gifts, objects of art, figures, busts, prints, books, playing cards, T-shirts, －novelties of every description available exclusively to museum visitors.
