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 victim. To make

21、 the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage(掩盖 ) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious. In the US, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are

22、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 solution to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar as their effectiveness to reduce sui

29、alance exists when the total value of a countrys imports exceeds that of its exports.
