        Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting
    next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a prisoner
    returning home from a faraway prison. His behavior had brought shame on his family, and they had neither
    visited him nor written. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too
    busy to write.
        When he was set free, he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them,
    however, he had asked them to put up a signal for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had
    forgiven him, they were to put up a white ribbon in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him
    to be back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.
        As the train got near his hometown, his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the
    window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his
    hand on the young convict's shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It's all right.
    The whole tree is white with ribbons."
    1. According to the passage, the white ribbon on the big apple tree means _____.
    [     ]
    A. pleasure
    B. forgiveness
    C. happiness
    D. education
    2. The word "suspense" underlined in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
    [     ]
    A. pain
    B. interest
    C. worry
    D. happiness
    3. Why was Michael asked to watch for the apple tree?
    [     ]
    A. The young man was afraid that he was refused by his family.
    B. The young man's seat was far from the window.
    C. The young man was afraid of seeing the white ribbons in the tree.
    D. The young man was sure that his family would accept him.
    4. Why were Michael's eyes filled with tears?
    [     ]
    A. The young man couldn't live with his family.
    B. He was moved by what he saw.
    C. He was touched by the young man.
    D. The young man was very sad.

         It's a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week, two
    students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.
         Officials from the university are reluctant (不情愿的) to give interviews.
        "We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides," said Zhang Jingyuan,
    head of HUST's center for research and guidance for students' development.
        "Media coverage (报导) may arouse some students' negative emotions again. Suicide can be
    contagious (传染性的)," Zhang said.
         The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.
         Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.
    Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.
         Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers' mental problems and offering help were set up in
    front of dorm buildings. Leaflets (传单) carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.
         However, the second suicide came seven days later.
         Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didn't see anything to indicate
    suicide.
         Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didn't
    know this until the students' close friends outside school and their parents unveiled (揭露) the truth after
    the suicides.
         According to Zhang, there are only three full-time counselors (心理辅导专家) working in the
    university's counseling center for its 60,000 students. He complained: "It's unrealistic to rely only on
    counselors to detect students' mental problems."
         Some universities in the US may be able to offer solutions to Zhang's worries. They have established
    programs to train students to be the bridge between troubled friends and counselors.
         At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, US, young people in the Student
    Support Network role play to learn how to detect SOS signals from their schoolmates.
         They also practice how to gently persuade emotionally troubled students to go for professional help.
         To develop such empathy (同理心), many universities in China have organized campus events to
    popularize knowledge about mental health. But these are not that attractive to students.
         Ke Juanjuan, 24, is pursuing a master's degree in English translation at HUST. Ke has found that few
    of her peers will pay attention to activities about mental health when they are not troubled by it.
         Rather than bombard students with the words "mental health", Ke suggested the school organize
    lectures and workshops concerning study, job-hunting and relationships. She explained: "Students care
    about these topics. They tend to have problems in these areas and may thus get stuck in depression.
         "By helping students better deal with these problems, the school can effectively prevent self-inflicted
    injury and suicide among students."
         Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention(干预)
    to meet an emergency, said Hu Yi'an. Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou
    University. He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.
         "Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won't resort(诉诸) to ending their lives
    when they have difficulties," said Hu.
         According to Hu, the principles can be incorporated (结合) into everyday teaching.
