Flirting with Suicide
The death of an Australian boy's dream
The life of David Woods was the stuff of an Australian boy's dream. He played professional rugby league football in a country that treats athletes as idols. At the age of 29, he had a loving family, a girlfriend, a 3-month-old baby, plenty of money, everything to live for. And, for unfathomable(高深莫测的)reasons, nothing to live for. On New Year's Day, Woods ran a hose from the exhaust pipe to the window of his Mitsubishi sedan and asphyxiated(使窒息)himself. His family still has no idea why. One day he called his mother to announce that he had signed a new contract with his team, Gold Coast, recalls his elder brother, Tony. "Twenty hours later," says Tony, "he gassed himself to death."
The death of David Woods came as a wake-up call to Australia, which is often touted as the ideal place to bring up kids. But the sun, the beaches and the sporting culture are the cheery backdrop to a disturbing trend: young Australian men are now killing themselves at the rate of one a day -- triple the rate of 30 years ago. Though most Australians aren't particularly suicidal, their boys are. In 1990 suicide surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death among males aged 15 to 24. Funloving Australia is now far worse off than Asian nations known for strict discipline. The yearly suicide rate for young Australian males is 2 times higher than in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore. It's a "picture of despair, despondency and aimlessness," says Adam Graycar, director of Australia's Institute of Criminology.
A hard struggle for Australian youth
Why boys？ A nation of wideopen spaces and rugged individualism, Australia still lionizes(把…捧为名人)the film star Gary Cooper model of masculinity: the strong, silent type who never complains, who always gets the job done. In recent years schools and social institutions have concentrated on creating new opportunities and more equality for girls — while leaving troubled boys with the classic admonition(告戒) of the Australian father: pall yourself together. It's past time to take a much closer look at the lives of young men, some researchers argue. "People think, 'My kids aren't doing drugs, my kids are at home, my kids are safe' ," says psychiatrist John Tiller of Melbourne University, who studied 148 suicides and 206 attempts in the state of Victoria. "They are wrong."
The Haywards, a comfortably well-off family in Wyong, north of Sydney, figured they were dealing with the normal melodramas(传奇剧)of troubled teenhood. Their son Mark had put up a poster of rock star Kurt Cobain, a 1.994 suicide victim, along with a Cobain quote: "l hate myself and I want to die." "From the age of 12, Mark had his ups and downs — mood swings, depression and low self-esteem," says his father, Stuart, a tax accountant. The Haywards sent Mark to various counselors, none of whom warned that he had suicidal tendencies. By last year Mark was 19, fighting bouts of unemployment and a drug problem. He tried church, struggling to "do the right thing," says his father. Last September Mark dropped out of a detoxification(戒毒)program, and apologized to his parents. "I have let you down again," he said. A few days later, his mother found Mark's body in bushland near their home.
In retrospect, Mark Hayward's struggles were far from uncommon. The number of suicides tends to keep pace with the unemployment rate, which for Australians between 15 and 19 has risen from 19 percent in 1978, the first year data were collected, to 28 percent last year. Suicide is especially high among the most marginal: young Aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的)men, isolated by poverty, alcoholism and racism. As in other developed countries, Australian families have grown less cohesive (聚合在一起的) in recent years, putting young men out into the world at an earlier age. Those who kill themselves often "think it will make it easier for th

E-commerce is also【C12】______protected because online shoppers tend to be wealthier: about half of all online shopping is done by households that earn more than ＄ 75,000 per year,【C13】______though they're just about a【C14】______of all households with Internet access.

The percentage of 【C1】______ hired for tenured positions at Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences has declined 【C2】______ year since 2000, prompting a group of professors to complain that the Ivy League school's leadership isn't doing 【C3】______ .
The proportion of women receiving tenured job 【C4】______ went from a height of 36 percent during the 2000-2001 【C5】______ year to 26 percent in 2001-2002 and then to 19 percent in 2002-2003. Last year, just 4 of 32 tenured 【C6】______ were offered to women.
The numbers all 【C7】______ to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the largest 【C8】______ of the university which 【C9】______ both the undergraduate school and the graduate school of arts and sciences.
The 【C10】______ has prompted 26 professors to 【C11】______ a letter to President Lawrence H. Summers, who has 【C12】______ over every year of the decline. Summers has agreed to meet next month with the professors.
"There's no 【C13】______ that hiring as many extraordinary women members of the faculty as we can has to be a crucial priority for the university," Summers, who took over as president in 2001, told The Boston Globe in Wednesday's 【C14】______ .
The letter suggests that Summers may have inadvertently caused the decline by failing to 【C15】______ the issue, by concentrating new hires in disciplines with fewer women, and by seeking out "rising young stars", who are more likely to be at an age when women pause in their careers to have children.
Summers said that some of the responsibility lies with Harvard's academic departments. Departments nominate and review candidates for senior jobs, though all must ultimately be approved by him.
Overall, women currently make up 18 percent of Harvard's senior faculty and 34 percent of the junior faculty, proportions similar to those of peer institutions.

For those of you travelling from abroad I should also point out that the Society is not in a position to help with any charges for excess baggage. The standard allowance as you know is twenty kilos and if you have bought books, gifts or whatever to take home with you, any additional costs are your responsibility.
You will be pleased to learn that the fees for the Industrial Relations course have stayed the same as last year-so that's. Unfortunately, though, the fees for the Management Today course have not yet been finalized; they will vary from last year but you might like to know that they will be approximately somewhere in the region of ￡500. I'm sure it won't have escaped your attention that we failed to print the length of each course. The Industrial Relations course is a twelve-week course as is Management Today-both three months as usual.
The two charges listed under the Training Officers' course apply to members of the Society and these who axe eligible for awards or scholarships. The lower figure applies to overseas applicants who would be anable to attend our courses without these grants as it's important that we continue to attract participants from abroad.
And finally, the Training Officers' course lasts only ten weeks this year as it has been reduced in response to last year's suggestions for a slightly shorter courser

Grassroots organizations, like Stop Shooting, have been flooded with offers of help and support since the killings. Yusef Ismail, its co-founder, says the group has been going door-to-door asking people to sign a pledge of non-violence. They hope to get 50,000 to promise to "stop shooting, start thinking, and keep living. " The Newark Community Foundation, which was launched last month, announced on August 14th that it will help pay for Community Eye, a surveillance system tailored towards gun crime.
Cory Booker, who became mayor 13 months ago with a mission to revitalize the city, believes the surveillance program will be the largest camera and audio network in any American city. More than 30 cameras were installed earlier this summer and a further 50 will be installed soon in a seven-square-mile area where 80% of the city's recent shootings have occurred. And more cameras are planned.
When a gunshot is detected, the surveillance camera zooms in on that spot. Similar technology in Chicago has increased arrests and decreased shootings. Mr Booker plans to announce a comprehensive gun strategy later this week.
Mr Booker, as well as church leaders and others, believes (or hopes) that after the murder the city will no longer stand by in coldness. For generations, New, ark has been paralyzed by poverty—almost one in three people lives below the poverty line—and growing indifference to crime.
Some are skeptical. Steve Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute notes that Newark has deep social problems: over 60% of children are in homes without fathers. The school system, taken over by the state in 1995, is a mess. But there is also some cause for hope. Since Mr Booker was elected, there has been a rise in investment and re-zoning for development. Only around 7% of nearby Newark airport workers used to come from Newark; now, a year later, the figure is 30%. Mr Booker has launched a New York style. war on crime. So far this year, crime has fallen 11% and shootings are down 30% (though the murder rate looks likely to match last year's high).
What happened in Newark, New Jersey on August 4th？
A．The Newark residents witnessed a murder.
B．Four young people were killed in a school playground.
C．The new mayor of Newark took office.
D．Four college students fell victim to violence.

Here we Google again
Google dominates the Internet-search business, such as Netscape once ruled in Web browsers and RealNetworks did in media players. Begun as a research project by two graduate students in 1998, Google today carries out more than 200 million searches a day and is estimated to have had $1 billion income last year, mainly from advertising sector.
It is the most visited search site, accounting for 35% of search-engine visits — compared with 28% for Yahoo, 16% for AOL and 15% for Microsoft's MSN, according to comScore Networks, a market-research company. But that masks its true influence. Google's technology is used to power searches on other sites, such as Yahoo and AOL (though Yahoo plans to use its own technology soon). Taking this into account makes Google responsible for around 80% of all Internet searches. The company is now preparing for a stock market flotation in the next few months.
Google's power makes it just the sort of company that Microsoft typically tries to squash. At the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Mr Gates admitted that Google's search technology was "way better" than Microsoft's, and identified Internet search as a key focus for his company.
Google, Netscape and RealNetworks all play a very important role in their own field.

B．Wrong
C．Doesn't Say

More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims "The school bus is a mirror Of the community."
They further add that， unfortunately， what appears on the exterior（外部）does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right， and sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.
Bruce Hardy， school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl"s bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl"s family moved to Parkesburg， knowing her bus went by her new residence， she requested to ride the same bus.
This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year tiding the bus. She says， "It"s been a great tide so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener.
Sometimes when you"re a child， adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr.
Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree.
Brace Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy"s outstanding record. "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days: he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350，000 accident free miles， Hardy"s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride
his bus. "
Althouse further added. "Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since my grandfather started the business with one bus.
Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to divers like Bruce Hardy， they have been building relationships through generations. Liesl"s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy"s bus to the Octorara School District.
