Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that I struggled with for most of my middle school years and a part of my high school years.
At Riverview, 36 was usually a nightmare (噩梦) for me. As I 37 the dining hall, all the eyes would be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and 38 to enjoy a “normal” lunch. The 39 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly 40 my friends. They would watch to make sure that I was eating properly, almost 41 food into my mouth.
And then, I transferred to Madison High School. I decided not to tell anyone at that school about my eating disorder since I had almost 42 by that time. Strangely, I stopped fearing lunch when I started at Madison. No one knew that I had an eating disorder, 43 they did not care what I ate. This 44 a huge amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is 45 for an anorexic, but I was able to put some of my 46 aside.
I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared about my health, but they 47 to care about me as a person. Truthfully, all I wanted was for them to 48 me and not to fix on my eating disorder.
The students at Madison took the time to know who I 49 was. They had no idea that I had been an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not 50 their opinions of me. I was finally 51 for my talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to show my true 52 .
My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never 53 . They taught me about life and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of 54 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated the people who helped me to see that there is more 55 life than having an eating disorder.

After their 20-year-old son hanged himself during his winter break from the University of Arizona five years ago, Donna and Phil Satow wondered what signs they have overlooked, and started asking other students for answers.
What grew from this soul searching was Ulifeline (www. Ulifeline. org), a Web site where students can get answers to questions about depression by logging on through their universities. The site has been adopted as a resource by over 120 colleges, which can customize it with local information, and over 1.3 million students have logged on with their college ID’s.
“It is a very solid Web site that raises awareness of suicide, de-stigmatizes mental illness and encourages people to seek the help they need,”said Paul Grayson, the director of counseling services at New York University, which started using the service nearly a year ago.
The main component of the Web site is the Self-screening program developed by Duke University Medical Center that tests students to determine whether they are at risk for depression, suicide and disorders like anorexia and drug dependences. Besides helping students, the services compiles anonymous student date, offering administrators an important window onto the mental health of its campus.
The site provides university users with links to local mental health services, a catalog of information on prescription drugs and side effects, and access to Go Ask Alice, a vast archive developed by Columbia University with hundreds of responses to anonymously posted inquires from college students worldwide. For students concerned about their friends, there is a section that describes warning signs for suicidal behavior and depression.
Yet it is hard to determine how effective the service is. The anonymity of the online service can even play out as a negative. “There is no substitute for personal interaction(个人互动才能解决),” said Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology, based in Washington.
Ulifeline would be the first to say that its service is no replacement for an actual therapist. “The purpose is to find out if there are signs of depression and then direct people to the right places,” said Ron Gibori, executive director of Ulifeline.
Mrs. Satow, who is still involved with Ulifeline, called it “a knowledge base” that might have prevented the death of her son, Jed. “If Jed’s friends had known the signs of depression, they might have seen something,” she said.
The first paragraph is written to_________.
A. report a suicide of a young man
B. show the suffering of Mr. And Mrs. Satow
C. describe the Satows’ confusion over their son’s death
D. introduce the topic of a website called Ulifeline.
One reason that many colleges adopt the website is to _________
A. provide their students with campus information
B. offer medical treatment to students in mental disorder
C. encourage their students to seek advice about depression
D. give their students various help they may need
Go Ask Alice as mentioned in the passage is________
A. a side effect caused by some prescription drugs
B. intended to counsel college students in mental problems
C. a collection of medical responses from students the world over
D. meant to describe the various signs of mental disorders
The underlined sentence of the seventh paragraph implies that ______
A. only actual therapy can ensure adequate treatment
B. the help given by the web service is doubtful
C. doctors have expressed a negative view of the service
D. a therapist’s office is the first place for the depressed to go
Mrs. Satow would probably agree that _________
A. Jed’s friends can prevent her son’s death
B. her son’s suicide is unavoidable
C. Ulifeline is a worthwhile website
D. depression is the final cause of suicides

Barbie(芭比娃娃),believe it or not,is 50 this year and she's still as popular as ever.A doll is a doll,but Barbie illustrates how,over the last five decades,women have become a standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live.
The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be frivolous or serious (or both).
But in many countries that's not an option. In Saudi Arabia,where woman can't drive or go out publicly unless covered,Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam(伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality.
In America,she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she's as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her “growth” from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”,she was criticized by a national women's group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she's a bad influence because she's too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式),and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child's play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toy seller Masoumeh Rahimi welcomed the dolls,saying Barbie was “foreign to Muslim culture” because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie,could grow into women who reject Muslim values. “I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile,”Ms. Rahimi said.
【小题1】The writer mentioned “miniskirts and pantsuits”(in Paragraph 4) to imply that ________.
A.these are the only clothes a doll should wear |
B.these are very traditional American clothes for women |
C.there are a range of different life options available for women |
D.readers should wear these clothes more often |
A.an illness of refusing to eat |
B.giving up math study |
C.the wearing of inappropriate clothes |
D.a decrease in people's imagination |
A.children who like Barbie dolls won't be so serious when they grow up |
B.Muslim Barbies are the same as American Barbies |
C.Muslim societies are generally more conservative than western societies |
D.Americans have no worry about Barbie's influence on children |
