After twenty years of shaving（剃须）himself ever...

After twenty years of shaving（剃须）himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town thought he had enough. He told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat and went to the barber shop.

The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him, and said, "That will be $20." The man thought the price was a bit high, but he paid the bill and went to work.

The next morning the man looked in the mirror, and his face was as smooth as it had been when he left the barber shop the day before. “Not bad, he thought. At least I don't need to get a shave every day.”

The next morning, the man's face was still smooth. Two weeks later, the man was still unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face. It was more than he could take and he was frightened, so he returned to the barber shop.

"I thought $20 was high for a shave", he told the barber's wife, "but you must have done a great job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't started growing back." The expression on her face didn't even change, expecting his comment. She responded, "You were shaved by Grace and once shaved, always shaved!"

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（个人互动才能解决），” 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．

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．

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

3.Go Ask Alice as mentioned in the passage is________

A．a side effect caused by some prescription drugs

B．intended to counsel college students in mental problems

C．a collection of medical responses from students the world over

D．meant to describe the various signs of mental disorders

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 therapist’s office is the first place for the depressed to go

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

A fourth-grade teacher allowed one of her students to shave her head in the schoolyard, after bullies（仗势欺人者） teased him about his own short buzz cut（短寸头发型）. Tori Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington state, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.

Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick brown curly hair, she realized that he’d had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong, and he said he’d gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didn’t want to come to class and get teased by other kids. Ms Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules prohibit kids from wearing hats indoors he refused – explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him.

Finally I said: “If you take off your hat and come to class, I’ll let you give me a buzz cut ,too,"' Ms Nelson told Yahoo Parenting.'I figured it’s just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather.'

Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as his teacher’s hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard.

'It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself,' said Ms Nelson.'You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isn’t just about reading and writing, it’s about self-esteem and accepting differences.'

1.What mainly led to Matthew’s standing outside the classroom?

A. His fear of being laughed at

B. His willingness to learn

C. His violating school rules

D. His not finishing his homework.

2.Why did Ms. Nelson have her head shaved?

A. To show sympathy for Matthew.

B. To comfort and encourage Matthew.

C. To prepare for the warm weather.

D. To show her unique personality.

3.What is Ms Nelson like?

A. responsible and caring　　 B. knowledgeable and creative

C. Humorous and easygoing　　 D. Strong and determined

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. The real meaning of teaching

B. Stand up to school bullying

C. Teach kids to respect differences

D. A haircut full of love
