After a young woman texted DoSomething.org with a heartbreaking cry for help,the non-profit volunteer group's CEO, Nancy Lublin,knew she needed to do something. She decided to create a way for people struggling with crises (危机) in their lives to release their strong feelings. She quickly founded a separate organization called Crisis Text Line,a free 24-hour nationwide mental health service that gives people access to crisis coimse/ors (辅导顾问) right at their fingertips.
“Since it was started in 2013,the service has exchanged nearly 10 million texts from people experiencing mental health issues,bullying and more ,” Lublin said. “About 30 percent of messages the program receives refer to suicide and depression.”
The beautiful thing about Crisis Text Line is that these are strangers counseling other strangers on the most private issues,and getting them from ‘hot moments,to 'cold moments'，” Lublin explained in a TED Talk about the service.
While all crisis lines are important and save lives,Crisis Text Line stands out because it can also provide important information to help prevent these events from happening in the first place. Since it was started,the program has been studying messages,the timing of messages and their locations to get usefiil data. For example,analyses show that texts about issues with eating disorders seem to increase on Mondays. Analyses also show that Montana is the state with the greatest number of texts that mention suicide.
Lublin hopes that the information that Crisis Text Line can glean will help inform new policies in schools,governments and homes across the country. “Data evidence makes policy,research, journalism,policing,school boards(教育委员会)，and almost everything better,” she said. “I don't think of myself as a mental health activist. I think of myself as a national health activist.”
1. After reading the text from a young woman,Nancy Lublin decided to .
A. start a profit volunteer organization
B. become a professional crisis counselor
C. learn about mental crises in people's lives
D. help people easily get counseling about life crises

You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair 一 not just whether they brush,spray,or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The fTnding could help solve crimes among other useful applications.
Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human's body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen (氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues,fingernails,and hair.
But not all Water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen,for example,there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope (同位素) .And depending on where you live,tap water contains different isotopes.
Can hair record this information? That's what James R. Ehleringer,an environmental chemist at the University of Utah,wondered. To find it out,he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities in 18 states across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days,the researchers have found that people's hair has the same isotopes as found in the local tap water. That's probably because- people usually prepare their food with the local water.
Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals,or crime victims and to narrow their search for clues. For example,one hair sample used in Ehleringer's study came from a.man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew,it reflected his change in location.
5. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes,according to Paragraph 3 ?
A. They are classified by^?ize.
B. Each type of them differs in weight.
C. They can improve the quality of tap water.
D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.
6. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their Hkir?
A. People use the same bottled water.
B. People wash their hair in different ways.
C. People's hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.
D. People's hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.
7. The last paragraph is mainly to show .
A. how to recognize criminals
B. how to collect hair samples
C. the usefulness of hair analysis
D. the process of Ehleringer's study
8. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A lesson plan. B. A news report.
C. A physics textbook. D. A tourist guidebook.
