Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__.

       I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier.

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(個人互動才能解決)，” 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

When Colonel Harland Sanders retired at the age of 65, he had little to show for himself, except an old Caddie roadster, a $105 monthly pension check ,and a recipe for chicken.

Knowing he couldn’t live on his pension, he took his chicken recipe in hand, got behind the wheel of his van (貨車),and set out to make his fortune. His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant  owners, who would in turn give him a residual (酬金)for every piece of chicken they sold—5 cents per chicken. The first restaurateur he called on turned him down.

 So did the second.

 So did the third.

In fact, the first 1,008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection. Still, he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA, sleeping in his car to save money. Prospect number 1,009 gave him first “yes”.

After two years of making daily sales he had signed up a total of five restaurants. Still the Colonel pressed on , knowing that he had a great chicken recipe and that someday the idea would catch on .

Of course, you know how the story ends. The idea did catch on. By 1963 the Colonel had 600 restaurants across the country selling his secret recipe of Kentucky Fried Chicken (with ll herbs and spices ).

In 1964 he was bought out by future Kentucky governor John Brown.Even though the sale made him a multi-millionaire, he continued to represent and promote KFC until his death in 1990.

Which of the following statements about Colonel Sanders is wrong according to the passage? 

A. He received a pension of a little more than $100 every month after he retired.

 B. He couldn’t live on his pension because he had a chicken recipe in hand.

 C. He didn’t succeed in selling his recipe until he tried 1,009 times.

 D. He lived a hard life when he stared the business.

  The underlined phrase“catch on ”in Paragraph 6 probably means          .

     A. be accepted       B. be grasped       C. be popular      D. be rejected

 The sentence “Of course, you know how the story ends” means          .

A. you are sure to know the result of Colonel Sanders’ business

B. You are sure to know Colonel Sanders had finished his story

C. It is certain Colonel Sanders ended his business

D. It is certain Colonel Sanders knew how to end his story

 Colonel Sanders’ story teaches us an important lesson:       

A. It’s never too late to make a change in your life .

B. The early bird catches the worm.

C. Live and learn. Life can teach you a lot of lessons.

D. Constant dripping wears away a stone.

It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one work answers. “Where are you going?” “Places.” “When will you be back?” “Sometime.” “Who will you be with?” “People.”

That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.

Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now they need to separate from you.

Your job, however, is to keep them safe——and that requires knowing there they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.

When they’re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip(閑談), discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs

The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to “       ”.

     A．teens no longer tell parents their detailed information

     B．teens don’t tell parents where they had been any more

     C．parents are impatient to listen to their children

     D．parents are occupied by doing their business

It can be inferred from the passage that       .

     A．the generation gap is becoming wider and wider

     B．teens quarrel a lot with their parents

     C．teens don’t want to live with other family members

     D．some parents feel distant from their teenage children

The author believes that teens’ one-word answers show       .

     A．their awareness of independence     

       B．their physical and mental changes

     C．a(chǎn)n unpleasant parent-child relationship

       D．their wishes for keeping silent

What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

     A．Parents should understand their children.

     B．parents should keep their children safe.

     C．Parents should open their hearts to their children.

     D．Parents should give their children enough freedom.

What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
