题目内容

14.The text message answered by Aaron Amrich was sent by a 19-year-old woman who wrote that she was feeling hopeless and beginning to give up on life.Aaron,a veteran (老兵) who served in Afghanistan and Iraq,has himself suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.He understood the feeling.
For the past year,Aaron has been volunteering with the Crisis Text Line (CTL),a free,confidential 24-hour service that people in need of a lifeline can access via the number 741741.The line currently has 1,500 volunteer Crisis Counselors (顾问) across the country and has exchanged more than 19 million texts-50,000 messages a day.
As he had been instructed,Aaron"listened"openly and nonjudgmentally to the young woman.He didn't offer advice; he didn't try to help her solve her problems.Mostly,his messages mirrored back what he'd heard from her,occasionally emphasizing a strength that he'd noticed-like the fact that she d taken this step to help herself even in the midst of her depression.
"A lot of people have an overwhelming loneliness,"he says."Sometimes it takes a stranger to say,‘Hey,you've been through hell,but you've been helping yourself.If you can do that,you can do more.'Many people reply,‘I've never thought about it that way.'''
The goal of a crisis line,explains Nancy Lublin,who runs the CTL,is narrow.Ifs not a cure; it's meant to bring people from"a moment of hot to a moment of cool,"so counselors can suggest ways the texter can move to a place of increased safety.Researchers are excited about the text line."Teens are unwilling to use crisis services,"observes Anthony Pisani,a suicide-prevention researcher."But the CTL offers a layer of protection from the shame of expressing your weaknesses."
As for the woman with whom Aaron was communicating,the opportunity to share her feelings with an empathetic person appeared to help."She said she couldn't remember the last time anyone had told her they believed in her,"Aaron recalls.She ended the conversation the way people often do,by texting,"Thanks for listening."

B.to take people to a cooler place

19.Walking down the city streets,you look up and see(61)ared telephone box.Behind it,on the road,a big red double-floor bus passes by,(62)carrying(carry) citizens and tourists.This is London.And the red is what the city is famous (63)for.
Modern transportation has changed the way we lead our lives.One important means of transport has been the bus.In London,buses take on a bigger role.They are used to visit the city.Red tourist buses have open(64)roofs(roof),which let people take photos,have an amazing view of the city and enjoy(65)themselves(them) as they drive past Big Ben,the Thames and so on.
But how did the bus become unique to London culture?Horse-drawn buses enjoy a history of more than 180 years.They(66)have been used(use) in London since 1829.By the early 20th century,motor-buses were driving around London.Bus companies used different colors at the time.One of the(67)biggest(big) companies chose red because the bright colour made(68)iteasy for the citizens to pick out the bus.In 1933,when London transport was grouped into a single company,they chose the most(69)widely(wide)used color at the time-red.
And so the color red stayed in London.But it was in the mid-1950s(70)thatthe red double-floor was born.Its name is the Routemaster.Built between 1954 and 1968,they still look traditional.Like they have been frozen in time.

Dear Mary,
I'm so glad to hear from you.butDear Mary,
Iam so glad to hear from you.but Ifeel so desperately sorry to learn that you are depressed about some extra weight you have put on recently.To begin with,being fat or slim is merely a matter of personal opinion.With different people holding different views on this subject,there is no agreed standard for an ideal figure.So there is no need for you to worry about.What's more,it being fit that is the most important for us.Only when you have a healthy body can you live to the fullest.As far as Iam concerned,you can do some sports daily by which means you can keep healthy.Most importantly,it is suggested that you should go on a balanced diet at the same time,thus doing good to your health.Ihope what Isaid above can be of great help to you.after all,health is to us what water is to life.Iam looking forward to hearing your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours forever,
Li Hua
Yours forever,
Li Hua.
