AThe teenage girl who sat in Madeline Levine's office was bright and pretty. She came from a well-off family that loved her deeply. And she had used a razor(剃刀) to carve the word “Empty” into the skin of her left forearm. Outwardly, this girl seemed to have a happy life; underneath the surface, she was on the edge of disaster.

As a psychologist, Levine has noticed important changes in the type of problems that today’s teens have．She believes today’s parents are so busy working to make sure their children have the best of everything that,increasingly, we miss out on giving our children what they need the most: time, attention and unconditional love.

“All of us believe that we are somehow doing the best for our kids, and that this will help our kids lead the best life. But the things that help our children grow up to be normal and happy have very little to do with material goods,” Levine says.

A parent’s job is to ensure a kid works hard, believes Levine, but they need to be realistic about their child’s abilities, Most of us are actually rather ordinary. We should let children know everyone has strengths and weaknesses．

One teen told Levine his whole had been about preparing for college. Another was afraid to go home after getting cut from the school baskedball team-he felt terrible about letting his father down.

Kids who constantly feel they’ve disappointed their parents, and that they aren’t good enough, often end up depressed and suicidal(自杀). Children need to know they are loved unconditionally, even if they don’t make the football team or get A on every project. “At the end of the day, we all just want to go home, to a palce where we’re loved simply for who we are,” Levine says.

1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　On November 15, 1904, patent(专利)#775, 134 was granted to KingC．Gillette for a safety“razor”．King Camp Gillette was born in Fond du loc, Wisconsin in 1885．To support himself when the family's home was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871, Gillette became a traveling salesman．This work led him to William Painter, the inventor of the disposable(一次性的)Crown Cork bottle cap, who assured Gillette that a successful invention was one that was purchased over and over again by satisfied customer．

　　In 1895, after several years of considering and rejecting possible inventions, Gillette suddenly had a brilliant idea while shaving one morning．It was an entirely new razor(剃刀)and blade(刀片)that flashed in his mind－a razor with a safe, inexpensive, and disposable blade．

　　It took six years for Gillette's idea to evolve．During that time, technical experts told Gillette that it would be impossible to produce steel that was hard, thin, and inexpensive enough for commercial development of the disposable razor blade．Then in 1901．MIT graduate William Nickerson agreed to try．

　　By 1903, he had succeeded．Production of the Gillette R safety razor and blade began as the Gillette Safety Razor Company started operations in South Boston Sales grew steadily．During World War I, the U．S．Government issued Gillette safety razors to the entire armed forces．By the end of the war, some 3.5 million razors and 32 million blades were put into military hands, thereby converting an entire nation to the Gillette safety razor．

　　Gillette's success formula was this－low prices, excellent advertising and automated manufacturing techniques．These are the foundations why we, a century later, are still buying Gillette products．
