The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides（自杀）as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders (带狂躁的抑郁症) and the current market meltdown (崩溃) could worsen feelings of despair among people who can't stand such illnesses.

The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.

“We should not be surprised at the turbulence (动荡) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis. Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need,” WHO director general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts.

“It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders,” Chan warned.

Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health, said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives.

Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic (慢性的) and disabling, he said. Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large proportion (比例) of them are young adults.

Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said, “Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes. Even the poor can be affected by this crisis.”

“There is a clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters. I am not talking about the millionaire's jumping out of the window but about poor people,” he said. The global crisis could be expected to affect the “stability（稳定）of communities and families”, according to Saraceno.

Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入，摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units（IU）a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said， adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.

64.Which of the following food can lower people‘s chance of getting cancer?

Recently, a survey was done among 288,000 students, which shows that today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)” than at any time in the 19 years of the poll (民意调查).

Not surprisingly, in these hard times, the students’ major purpose “is to be financially well off. Developing a meaningful philosophy of life is less important than ever.” It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.

Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic” fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.

That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors in her first year on the job---even before she completed her two-year associate degree.

Though it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far beyond our own and that it will be better for our understanding of these other contributions—either scientific or artistic.

Similarly, it is true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.

Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; No job. How shortsighted in the long run!

But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) : “Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”

From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about.

51. According to the result of the survey, college students _______________.

A. take developing a meaningful philosophy of life more seriously

B. have a wide range of knowledge in many aspects

C. pay more attention to the study of literature

D. have never been so materialistic as today

52. The students’ criteria (标准) for choosing their majors today are largely based on _________.

A. their own understanding of the courses

B. the financial goals they seek in life

C. the influence of their instructors

D. the vast potential for the future educational development

53. What does the fifth paragraph imply?

A. Knowledge in other fields has nothing to do with one’s career.

B. Business management should be included in educational programs

C. The importance of a broad education should not be ignored

D. A good understanding of the civilization will make students rich.

54. The author’s attitude to the effect of studying the diverse wisdom of others is ______________.

A. positive B. indifferent C. doubtful D. negative

55. The writer wrote the passage in order to indicate that ______________.

A. college students today are not a diligent generation

B. people engaged in technical jobs lead a more meaningful life

C. career seekers shouldn’t focus on immediate interests only

D. working experience outside college counts a lot to one’s future career

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.

When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”

Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.

Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.

Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.

The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.

How many hand signs do you use every day?

63. Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?

A. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.

B. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.

64. If you want to express the idea that “I am very friendly” to someone, you will ______.

I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can __1 it, they can certainly send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a 2 out. There are plenty of loans（货款）and scholarships for the bright and 3 ones who can’t afford to pay.

When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 4 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it,it must be considered a(n) 5 not an obligation（责任，义务）.

Do parents owe their children anything? Yes,they owe them a great deal.

One of their obligations is to give their children personal 6 .A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 7 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so _8_ , so afraid of failing that he（or she）won’t try at all .Of course they should be __9__ corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate（宽容）them and give them chances to try and fail.They must learn to stand 10 .When criticisms（批评）are really needed,they should be 11 with praises,with a smile and a kiss.That is the way children learn.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.This means teaching them to 12 the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,to teachers,and to the law.The best way to teach such values is by 13 .A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have 14 laughing and loving.

No child asks to be 15 .If you bring a life into the world,you owe the child something.
