The U.K. university system is at the top of the list in terms of its number of internationally top-ranked universities and in the percentage of overseas students it attracts each year. These are significant achievements, too often overlooked. They were not quickly or easily won. In an increasingly competitive world, they can be quickly and permanently lost.Within the U.K., universities deliver huge benefits; they are particularly well documented in science, technology, and medicine. Perhaps their greatest achievement is the flow of graduates into the workforce. The most remarked-upon, however, is the rapid expansion of their role as innovators who have demonstrated a significant economic impact. In recent years, high-technology and biotechnology clusters have sprung up around a number of research-intensive universities.Focusing only on what is most easily measured or on an immediate economic impact is to miss the deeper point, of course. Through the arts, humanities, and social sciences, this country’s universities contribute broadly to society, adding greatly to human well-being. Although universities are offering their best help in the economic downturn (衰退), as institutions they are intended, above all, to help the students of today become the workforce, citizens, and leaders of tomorrow. They are also responsible for the discoveries that will transform the future and the scholarly insights that will change the way the world thinks and acts.What has made the U.K. system so successful? I point to the quality of what it provides, the talent it attracts, and the diversity of strengths it offers. The diversity of U.K. universities is partially reflected in their differences in age, size, history, and governance, in the makeup of their student bodies, course offerings, the kinds of research they do, the combination of teaching and research, and the balance of academic and professional or pre-professional training.1.

They have biotechnological achievements.D. They promote technological improvements.3. What should universities pay more attention to according to the author?A. The economic downturn of society.B. Current issues of human well-being.C. Discoveries that will change the future.D. Measures that have an economic impact.4. Why is the U.K. university system so successful?A. It attracts different kinds of professors and students.B. It offers universities with a long history and big campus.C. It offers quality education and all the universities are world famous.D.

Tens of thousands of young in Britain who are struggling with their mental health are seeking help online for problems such as anxiety, self-harm, and depression.Soaring numbers of under-18s are turning to apps, online counselling and “mood diaries” to help them manage and recover from conditions that have left them feeling low, isolated and, in some cases, suicidal.A generation of young people are attracted by being able to receive fast, personal care and advice using their phone rather than having to wait up to 18 months to be treated by an NHS mental heath professional.The shift comes as ministers prepare themselves for publication on Thursday of the first new figures for 13 years showing how common mental health problems are in the young mainly as a result of the emergence of social media and its use in fuelling feelings of inadequacy.The number of under-18s using Kooth, a free online counselling(咨询的)service, has shot up from 20,000 in 2015 to 65,000 last year, and is forecast to rise further to 100,000 this year.One hundred NHS clinical commissioning groups across England, more than half the total, have now commissioned the service. It helps young people suffering from anxiety, low mood, poor self-worth or confidence, self-harm and loneliness.“Young people like the fact they can talk to a counsellor either instantly, or within 10 minutes, for up to an hour in the evenings. They love that immediacy”，said Aaron Sefi, the research and evaluation director at XenZone, the company behind Kooth.“They also love the anonymity involved, because they can sign up without giving their personal details. Plus, they’re in control, because they are choosing to contact us rather than being told to do so.”In addition, 123,138 people in the UK download. Calm Harm, an NHS-approved app that helps people self-harm less often or not at all, between April 2017 and this month.“Users tell us that Calm Harm helps with suicidal thoughts and intent,” said Dr. Nihara Krause, the consultant clinical psychologist who developed the app. “Currently 92% of our users, who are mainly female and often aged 15-21, say the urge reduced.”Calm Harm is among 18 apps that NHS England has endorsed(支持)to help cope with mental ill-health. They also include Bluelce, which helps young people manage their emotions using a mood diary and automatic routing(自动转接) to emergency help numbers if their urges to self-harm continue.Experts welcomed the trend but warned that online help must complement, not replace, face-to-face appointments with therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.“Most young people spend much of their time online, and it can feel easier for them to communicate through messaging and online services than face-to-face,” said Tom Madders, campaigns director at Young Minds, which helps people under 26.“Evidence-based mental health apps and online support services can be really beneficial in helping young people to look after their own mental health, develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions, and get accessible information and advice when they need it.”Claire Murdoch, NHS England’s national mental health director, said: “Technology is constantly evolving and young people are usually at the forefront, so it’s no surprise increasing numbers are turning to services like these which can certainly play a part, particularly when backed up by face-to-face support.”The NHS’s forthcoming long-term plan, due next month, will “harness(利用)all of the benefits these advancements can bring”，she added.Meanwhile, 37% of the young people referred to NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) in England last year were refused help, the children’s commissioner has revealed.In an analysis of Camhs care published on Thursday, the children’s commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, says that despite promises by politicians and NHS bosses to improve access, “a vast gap remains between what is provided and what children need”.While she found improvements in several areas of care, including care for eating disorders, new mothers and under- 18s in the criminal justice system, overall “the current rate of progress is still not good enough for the majority of children who require help but are not receiving it”.【1】Online help can be characterized as .______A. instant, confidential and controllableB. attractive, convenient and symbolicC. effective, accessible and controversialD. considerate, authentic and impractical【2】Teenagers suffer from mental problems mainly because______ .A. they lack professional guidanceB. they tend to be more self-centredC. social media make them feel less confidentD. social media keep them distant from each other【3】Calm Harm helps teenagers to_____.A. keep a journal of their moodsB. manage their feeling of stressC. reduce the urge to harm themselvesD. improve their self-identity and confidence【4】Experts believe that online help can______.A. strengthen bonds between teenagers with mental illnessesB. play a role in pushing forward the cutting-edge advanceC. replace face-to-face appointments with professionalsD. serve as a complement to face-to-face appointments【5】According to Anne Longfield, NHS child and adolescent mental health services ______.A. have lived up to their expectations and promisesB. are reluctant to help teenagers with mental illnessesC. will complete their ambitious forthcoming long-term planD. need to struggle to meet the increasing needs of teenagers【6】What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The popularity of online apps in treating teenagers’ mental illnesses.B. The contrasts between online help services and face-to-face support.C. The influence of teenagers’ mental illnesses on online help services.D. The drawbacks with the existing adolescent mental health services.
