Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara. It lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis（绿洲）, from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this barren land. Many had previously tried but failed, always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out.
When interviewed by Ken Levin, an expert at the British Royal College of Sciences, the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village.Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert? Levin was very puzzled. He had, by himself, managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days. He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery. He and a Bissel villager called Argutel, would walk out of the desert together. They prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels. But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass. Levin would follow Argutel.
Ten days later, they had walked for about 500 miles but were still in the desert. On the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. They were back at Bissel. Levin now understood why the Bissel people couldn’t escape the desert. They had no knowledge of the North Star, which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction. In the desert, if a person goes forward relying only on their senses, they will not be able to travel in a straight line. Rather they will travel in a very large circle and eventually track back to where they began. Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk out of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told. Three days later, he came to the edge of the desert.
Now in the West Sahara, Bissel has become a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come every year. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On its base are the words: __________________________.
1.Ken Levin asked Argutel to walk to the north in order to ________.
A. prove that people could walk out of the desert see
B. how far away Bissel was to the edge of the desert
C. tell people not to walk in circles
D. show Argutel was a great person
2.According to the passage, Ken Levin ________.
A. knew Argutel before he came to the village
B. came to Bissel to do experiments on behalf of his college
C. became the first man to walk out of the desert from Bissel Village
D. taught Bissel villagers knowledge of the North Star when he first arrived
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Ken Levin didn’t walk south because it would take more days
B. the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desert
C. tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improved
D. Argutel became the leader of Bissel after his return
4.Which of the following can most probably be found at the base of Argutel’s statue?
A. A new life starts from the fixed direction.
B. Where there is a will , there is a way .
C. A long journey starts with the first step .
D. Two heads are better than one.

A few months ago, Dr. Ken Duckworth, a psychiatrist（心理医生） in Massachusetts, was swimming in his community's pool, chatting with other swimmers. When he mentioned his career, one man wanted Duckworth’s opinion on his struggles with depression; another asked for advice on a family member's mental illness.
“I was sort of amazed. They were talking openly about their mental disabilities with a stranger in a swimming locker room, ” said Duckworth, “That wouldn't have happened 15 years ago. ”
New research shows that these swimmers aren't the only ones opening up. According to a new study, more American adults than ever are reporting being disabled by the symptoms of depression, anxiety or other emotional problems.
The report, published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health, found that people who said they couldn’t perform everyday tasks or engage in social and leisure activities because of a mental illness increased from 2 percent in 1999 to 2.7 percent in 2009. That increase amounts to nearly 2 million more people disabled by mental distress (痛苦) in the past decade, the report said.
Although people did not say they felt more mental distressed compared to past years, they reported that their mental health problems had a greater impact on their daily lives.
Dr. Ramin Mojtabai, the study's author, said it's unclear whether the findings tell a sad story of greater mental distress in recent times or point to a victory for public education about the importance of acknowledging and evaluating mental illness.
“It is possible that people are realizing the effects of mental illness more acutely now than before," he said. "People could be becoming more aware. ”
Mojtabai said it's also possible that a number of factors could be taking a toll on the population's mental well-being. High unemployment, economic hardships and a growing sense of isolation could be putting greater stress on Americans.
But Duckworth said there could be a more positive explanation -- like his fellow swimmers, people may be getting more comfortable with talking about their mental distress.
“I wonder if this tells us that American culture is becoming more open and is giving people the ability to speak about it,” he said. “If people have this problem and are willing to acknowledge it, then we're getting closer to dealing with it.”
1.Why was Dr. Ken Duckworth surprised when other swimmers talked about the depression with him?
A．He hadn’t expected those swimmers had so many questions.
B．He didn’t know there would be so many people suffering mental disabilities.
C．People wouldn’t talk about their mental disabilities with a stranger in the past.
D．It amazed him that people were becoming more and more open-hearted.
2.Which of the statements may Dr. Ramin Mojtabai agree?
A．More and more people are suffering mental distress nowadays.
B．People may be more willing to acknowledge their mental illness.
C．People are becoming more and more aware of the effects of mental illness.
D．The public education about the importance of acknowledging mental illness is successful.
3.What does the underline phrase “taking a toll on” in para.8 mean?
A．making a contribution to
B．taking part in
C．playing a part in
D．doing harm to
4.What’s the best title of the text?
A．How mental illness come about?
B．Swimmers with mental illness puzzled psychiatrist.
C．Study shows more mental illness.
D．You should have an accurate attitude towards mental illness.
