AThe suicide rate in America is up by 18% since 2000. This is not merely a tragedy; itmatters politically, too. The rise is largely among white, middle-aged, poorly educated men in areas that were left behind by booms and crushed by busts. Their deaths are a symptom of troubles that should not be ignored.Nonetheless, beyond America’s gloomy trend is a more optimistic story: that at a global level, suicide is down by 29% since 2000. As a result, 2.8m lives have been saved in that time—three times as many as have been killed in battle. There is no one reason. It is happening at different rates among different groups in different places.Why are people now less likely to take their own lives? Urbanization and greater freedom have helped. Accounts of those who attempt suicide, and of the relatives of those who succeed, suggest that many young Asian women were driven to despair by violent husbands and overbearing in-laws. As people move to cities and the grip of tradition loosens, women have more choice about whom they marry or live with, making life more bearable. Leaving the village helps in another way, too. Because farming involves killing things, rural folk are likelier to have the means to kill themselves—guns, pesticides—to hand.Efforts to control access to the means to kill oneself can help, too. Suicide is surprisingly impulsive. A study of young Chinese women who had tried to kill themselves showed thatthree-fifths had been contemplating suicide for less than two hours, and one in ten for less than a minute. Of 515 people who had survived the leap from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971, 94% were still alive in 1978—which suggests that a suicide postponed is likely to be a suicide prevented.21. Which is not the reason of suicide decreasing?A. More freedomB. More forced marriagesC. UrbanizationD. More control on means22. We can infer from paragraph4 that________A. many people decided to kill themselves after a serious considerationB. about 484 people still alive in 1978 after surviving the leap between 1937 and 1971C. 515 people tried to suicide by jumping from Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971D. three-fifths young Chinese women may decide to suicide within 2 hours23. What should be the best title for the text?A. More lives have been savedB. Suicide is surprisingly impulsiveC. A suicide postponed is a suicide preventedD. Why suicide is falling around the worldBFrances O’Grady, the head of Britain’s Trades Union Congress, t hrew down a gauntlet on September 10th. “We can win a four-day working week,” she told members. The demand is far from new. Shorter working weeks have been tried in New Zealand and Sweden, where they resulted in happier, healthier and more motivated employees. Those who work shorter weeks arealso reported to be more productive. Should weekends, therefore, be lengthened?France’s experience suggests workers may not leap at the chance of hard work for fewer hours. The government reduced the full-time worker’s week to 35 hours in 2000. Last year the French worked 38.9 hours a week on average, seeming happy to labour above the required level and pocket the extra pay or holiday allowance.And businesses may not seize the opportunity either. Working less may be linked to higher productivity (on a per-hour basis), but overall output could still fall because of the smaller number of hours worked. That will not get governments or employers excited.Advocates of a four-day w eek could claim that improving people’s quality of life is more important than boosting the economy. In an essay published during The Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes wrote of an “age of leisure and abundance” in which technological advances would allow people to work 15-hour weeks.Unfortunately for any readers working on a Friday afternoon, Keynes jumped the gun. Even Ms O’Grady, now demanding for a longer weekend, is pessimistic in her timescale. A four-day week is apparently achievable “in this century”.24. What does the underlined phrase “threw down a gauntlet” mean in paragraph 1?A. delivered a speechB. made an announcementC. issued a challengeD. appealed to public attention25. Government and employers may be against a longer weekend because___________A. longer weekends lead to lower efficiencyB. a four-day working week is a rather new ideaC. longer weekends is not practicalD. shorter weekdays cause overall output falling26. What is Ms O’Grady’s attitude toward longer weekends?A. RealizableB. DisapprovalC. NegativeD. NeutralCHumans and elephants don't always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage public facilities, farmers' crops, and natural habitat critical for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to discourage elephants: honeybee."Elephants strongly dislike being bitten in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being bitten in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times." Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives around their farms, they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how do you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect? And then the idea came up to look at the alarm, which arechemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's robbing the hive." Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use the bees' chemical alarm signal to affect elephant behavior.So the researchers tested out chemicals that imitate honeybees' alarm. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious organisms, they'll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they'll inspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm, they'll pick it up, throw it around, try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them."The study is in the journal Current Biology.Next up, the researchers plan to refine the mixture, in order to get an even stronger avoidance response from elephants. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they should not be going—and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.27. According to the author, what would people do if an elephant continually destroys the farm?A. They would drive it away.B. They would beat it hard.C. They may force it to live in a poor area.D.
