Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks,for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.
While this law is not without humor by today' s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today' s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives?
(80) The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒),the need for attention,stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical vic-tim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.
In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度 ) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal.
However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

THE CLASSROOM is a man's world, where boys get two thirds of the teachers' attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.
These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co educational schools that single sex classes are the only answer. Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.”
The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female. In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocate d to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.” Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.

Out of all the cities and towns we visited in Central Europe, the city that made the biggestimpression on me was definitely Prague(布拉格). I do not know if it is the story behind every wall,stone and bridge that left me so speechless, but to this day I have no doubt that there is no othercity in the world that can compare to Prague. With its peculiar romantic flavor, Prague to me is farmore attractive than Paris, London and New York put together.
My acquaintance with Prague started on the bus from Vienna, where I listened to a tourguide telling us the story of how the city was set up. When we arrived in Prague, the first thing wewent to see right from the hotel was, of course, the Charles Bridge. Completed in 1357, this bridgewas built on blood and eggs to hold the bricks together, and it proved to be firmer than any othermaterial. Fascinated by the fact, we went on to examine the statues on every post of the bridge,while we listened to the story behind each of them.
There were many other things that inspired and fascinated me. The whole of Prague is like afairy tale of its own, with millions of unbelievable stories running through its history. But whatimpressed me most was the sunset above the Prague Castle.
The view was just beautiful: the sun, just barely reaching the sharp peaks of the Castle; thesky with soft clouds; the sweet music of violin somewhere in the air. It is so great that it makesyou feel like time has stopped.
We spent over three weeks in Europe, and just two days in Prague. But it seems like Prague hastaken up most of my emotions and feelings. Prague is worth visiting again and again.
