In 2013, Gabby Frost founded Buddy Project when she was 15. At that time her best friend had been diagnosed(诊断) with a mental health condition, and that was the first time she was made aware of what mental illness was. She wanted to learn more and develop a good support system for her.

Mental illness affects tens of millions of people in the United States each year, yet only half receive treatment, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. Buddy Project's website says the service is not a substitute for therapy( 治疗) or other types of mental health care, and it directs people to resources for further help.

Since founding the organization as a high school student, Frost has helped more than 200, 000 participants find a new friend. On the day when Buddy Project was launched, she used her powerful social media presence to attract nearly 3, 000 participants. "This was around the time when teens really began talking about mental health and found a supportive commun ity online to talk about it,”she said.

One of the biggest social barriers she had to jump over was that people didn't view her seriously because she was a 15-year-old girl, and even now, she's still a young woman. "Sometimes it’s frustrating because people don't think what I do is needed or they don't think I’m professional." she said. "Most people are blown away that a 20-year-old girl is running this and that it's one person doing this but not a whole team. I'm just lucky that I've found a support system that has been able to help my mom and me with the project.

4．Why did Gabby Frost set up Buddy Project?

“When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken by thousands of Kenyan children.

50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?

Although the question seems simple, finding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial.

A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation（高海拔）villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce more red blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the body produces more red blood cells. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low altitudes. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have longer “birdlike” legs. The Kalenjins also have lower body mass indexes (a measure of body fat based on weight and height) and shorter bodies than Danish people.

As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene( 基因)”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion They

credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training.

Although the controversy over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sport, Farah said it was like a switch had been turned on in his head. He began eating healthy foods, going to bed early, and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners!

Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Regardless of genetics, their success would not be possible without hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and mental toughness. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast, and never give up.

8．What interested the sports scientists?

A．Kanlenjins’ running ability.

B．Kenyan sports history.

C．Kanlenjins’ training methods.

D．Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sport.

9．According to Danish scientists, what leads to the Kanlenjins’s uccess?

A．Living style. B．Hard training.

C．Physical condition. D．Strong will.

10．How did Kenyan runners think about Danish research result?

A．Convincing. B．Astonishing.

C．Important. D．Unacceptable.

11．Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the passage?

A．To show running methods count.

B．To prove effort pays off.

C. To encourage British athletes.

D．To support gene theory.

Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports th at they’re not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.

The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.

Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.

A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized( 随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).

After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in

depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.

“It’s an important, cautionary note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace docto rs and therapists.” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed.”

“Being depressed can mean feeling in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation. “When you’re emotionally vulnerable(脆弱的), you’re even more in need of a caring human b eing.” he says.

12．Why have online CBT programs been increasingly popular?

A．Because of their effectiveness in fighting depression.

B．Because of their easy and inexpensive access by patients.

C．Because of their recommendation by primary care doctors.

D．Because of their attraction of changing mood and behavior.

13．What is the conclusion of the experiment done by researchers at the University of York?

A．The online programs are more advanced than regular care from physicians.

B．The combination of traditional CBT and computerized CBT is most effective.

C．Online CBT programs have no advantages over regular care from physicians.

D．Online CBT programs are as ineffective as regular care from physicians.

14．Which of the following can best convey Professo r Dowrick’s advice on online programs? A．They should be used to help people touch these patients.

B．They should not be ignored in primary care.

C．Their use should be encouraged by doctors.

D．Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.

15．What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?

A．A positive state of mind. B．An advanced CBT program.

C．Human interaction. D．A devoted doctor.
