By then her 15-year-old daughter had already been attracted to it. In the show, the main character feels hopeless and kills herself.Mental health experts believe that the show's messages on suicide (自杀) are dangerous. Educators have warned parents that it glamorizes the idea of suicide and could lead to an increase in imitation (模仿) among student s. They‟re worried about children watching it alone without parents beside them. Employees from some elementary and middle schools have seen an increase in self-harm among students since the show began.Netflix believed that the show has helped bring up important conversations in many families. Though some parents loved the show, for the nurse‟s family, it was a disaster. Her daughter has been suffering from depression since her brother‟s death. With treatment, things got better until she watched the series. “If I‟d known about the show beforehand I would have monitored (监视) her Netflix account,” said the nurse. “If kids have a history of depressio n or suicidal thoughts, I don ‟t think they need to watch it. ”The show‟s creators said they did make part of t he show painful to watch because they wanted to make it clear that there is nothing worthwhile about suicide. Before its release, a producer sought the support of the JED Foundation, a teen suicide prevention group. “I think they were looking for us to say it was a great educational tool, or that they handled the issues in a psychologically helpfu l way,” said a medical officer. The group issued a guide about the show, advising people who choose to watch it to view it with someone else and to take breaks between episodes (剧集).4.

Some common teen problems.CAn “exercise pill” that could reduce the need for visits to the gym is a step closer. A study found that preventing production of the protein myostatin (肌肉抑制素) increases muscle. Although the research was conducted in mice, the team hopes it will lead to human treatments (治疗)Lead researcher Dr Joshua Butcher, from Augusta University in Georgia, the US, said, "Finally, the goal of our research would be to create a pill that mimics the effect of exercise and protects against obesity. A pill that stops myostatin could also be used for muscle-wasting diseases, such as cancer, muscle dystrophy and AIDS. Myostatin is known to be a powerfu l …brake‟ that holds back muscle growth.”Studies suggest that obese people produce more of the protein myostatin, making it harder for them to exercise and build up muscle. “Given that exercise is one of the most effective ways to deal with obesity, this creates a cycle by which a perso n becomes trapped in obesity,”said Dr Butcher.The researchers got four groups of thin and obesemice that were genetically programmed either to produce unlimited levels of myostatin or to be completely lacking in the protein. As expected, mice with no myostatin became markedly more muscular. Obese mice unable to produce myostatin remained fat, but they were also stronger and showed signs of heart and metabolic (新陈代谢) health compared with the thin mice. They were in greatly better shape than obese mice with unlimited myostatin production.Dr Butcher added, “In our muscular obese mice, despite full presentation of obesity, it appears that several of these key points are prevented. While much more research is needed, at this point, myostatin appears to be a very promising way for protection against some heart problems caused by obesity.” The research was presented at the American Physiological Society‟s annual meeting, Experimental Biology 2017, in Chicago, the US.8. What b enefit will the ''exercise pill” bring to people?A. Consumers will look much younger than before.B. Users can keep in good shape without going to the gym.C.

How did researchers reach the conclusion?A. By analyzing causes.B. By referring to documents.C. By turning to scientists.D. By making comparisons.DSometimes “you” doesn‟t mean “you”, a new study finds.People often say “you” to make it easier to talk about a negative personal experience. For example, people may say “You win some, you lose some.” when they have just failed at a task. By using “you” instead of “I”, they explain that failure can happen to anyone. The “you” here used to refer to people in general rather than a specific (特定的) audience is called “generic-you”. Researchers conducted a series of experiments, asking 2,500 people to write about personal experiences and answer questions. In one experiment, a group of participants were asked to write about a negative (消极的) personal experience and another group of participants were asked to write about a neutral (中立的) personal experience. Researchers noted that people in the negative group used the ……generic-you” more in their responses.When they use “you”to describe the event, it allows them to move beyond the negative experience and helps them feel better.In another experiment, all participants were asked to write about a negative experience. One group focused on lessons they had learned, while another group wrote about the emotions they felt. Researchers found that peop le who focused on lessons used “you” more than those who focused on emotions. Besides, the people who used “you” said they felt further away from the event than those who used “I”. This suggests that “generic-you” is a way for people to give meaning t o an experience.Researchers concluded that the “generic-you” provides a way to normalize one‟s negative experiences and find meaning from personal experiences.12. When people say “You win some, you lose some.”, failure actually happened to __________.A. the listenerB. the speakerC. anyoneD. nobody13. Which of the following is an example of “generic-you”?A. Do you believe it?B. When will you be ready to go?C. You don‟t know how long I‟ve waited for you.D. Treat others as you hope they will treat you.14. In the first experiment, the “generic-you” _________.A. is only used in a neutral situationB. is only used in a negative situationC. helps leave good impressions on othersD. helps overcome a negative situation15. What do we know about the second experiment?A. “Lessons” group used “you” less than “emotions” group.B. “Emotions” group was less affected by negative experiences.C. People tend to use “you” to explain lessons they've learned.D. People never use “you” to express personal feelin gs.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳项。
