This is a story told or read to children of young ages£®The heroine£¨Å®Ö÷È˹«£©, Cinderella, treated cruelly by her stepmother and her two ugly stepsisters, is helpless until the right magic comes along£®She meets her prince and they live together happily£®

Just a sweet, pretty tale? Not in the view of Ellen Macintosh, who has written much about fairy tales£®Ellen' s main concern is with what the story implies£®

"Instead of standing up to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her problem£®But wouldn't you want a daughter of yours to show more spirit?"

The story is long lasting, whatever its shortcomings, and it does' t take much to see its influence on a number of recent Hollywood productions£®In these versions for the silver screen, the Cinderella character no longer has to clean the house and has no sisters to make her life terrible, though she keeps the way of not showing much courage£®The character of the rich and handsome stranger, however, is kept, and in some cases really is a prince£®The role of the fairy godmother is often played by luck; we live in a civilized age when even very young children might reject the idea of fairies£®In the majority of film versions, the heroine has a profession and is even permitted to continue working after marrying her prince this is the twenty first century, after all£®

Doesn't the success of these films indicate that the story has relevance to children even today?¡± Yes,, admits Ellen, who sees its message as being rooted in a fundamental childhood desire for love and attention£®" Most children experience a sense of inner loneliness as they are growing up and empathize with £¨Óë¡­¹²Ãù£©the character who faces some sort of challenge£®This can be seen in the original story of Cinderella, where the fairy godmother tells the heroine that she must learn to be gracious and confident if she is to go to the ball£®She has to grow spiritually, and by maturing, she becomes attractive to the prince, thus ensuring that the ending of the story will be happy£®" "In the later versions, thus element£¨ÒòËØ£©is missing," says Ellen, " and the theme of the story is simply that a girl' s role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize: the handsome prince£®Is this really what we want girls to grow up believing?"

1.Why does Ellen disapprove of the Cinderella story?

A£®The plot is too simple£®

B£®The description is not vivid£®

C£®The heroine is not brave enough£®

D£®The story is unfit for the children today£®

2.In the film versions of the Cinderella story,_________£®

A£®luck plays an important role in the heroine' s happy life

B£®Cinderella¡¯s family background remains unchanged

C£®the heroine becomes a successful career woman

D£®the character of the prerace is removed£®

3.According to Even, the film versions of the story _________

A£®succeed because of the happy ending

B£®ignore the children's psychological need'

C£®deliver a mistaken message that beauty is everything

D£®reflect modem people' s attitude towards challenges in life

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A£®To analyze the characters of the Cinderella story£®

B£®To introduce different versions of the Cinderella story£®

C£®To explain the changes of the Cinderella story over time£®

D£®To present a different understanding of the Cinderella story£®

Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school. Even more startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to an American College Health Association study released this spring. If you¡¯re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.

Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins ¨C chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fight depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sports is not enough.

Use school counseling services: Campuses don¡¯t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college¡¯s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian University, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.

Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist that it¡¯s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community, it¡¯s also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college.

Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression. In college, many students¡¯ sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental health. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation.

1.According to the passage, physical activity __________ .

A. is regarded as the best way to fight depression

B. contributes to the release of endorphins

B. students with mental health problems can¡¯t get on well with others

C. going to college¡¯s counseling center for help requires a lot of courage

D. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psychological tests

3.Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ____

A.enables students to get involved in college life

B.helps students stay in contact with others

C.offers students a way to make new friends

D.provides a way to avoid getting bored

4.which of the following can NOT help one reduce depression?

A.Taking exercise regularly every week

B.Chatting with old friends with Skype

C.Turning to mental health experts for advice

D.Holding parties deep into the night to relax

Lights Out at Bedtime

There are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening ¡ª writing e-mails£¬chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet£¬for instance£®But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC¡¯s bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle£®"They haven't proved it though£¬" says Dieter Kunz£¬the team's director at Charite's Psychiatric Clinic in St£®Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin£®

Similarly£¬exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin£¬which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall£®

Ten years ago£¬a team of British and American researchers detected a photo-pigment£¨¹âÃôÉ«ËØ£© in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night£¬summer or winter£®The photo-pigment is especially sensitive to blue light£®

"The blue light more or less tells the body£¬'It's daytime£¬be awake£¬'" Kunz says£®Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photo-pigment may react similarly to it£®So the longer people look into the bright light£¬the more awake they become - and then sleep poorly£®

A lot of people have difficulty "switching off" in the evening£®About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly£®

Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes£®Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleep problems£®

In addition£¬electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep£®"Sound scientific evidence is still lacking on this matter£¬" Kunz notes£®

According to Kunz£¬those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower the brightness somewhat£®"But nobody does that because£¬after all£¬you want to concentrate while working at the computer and the light helps the brain£®"
