4、lings of despair. The criminals often had telegraphed to other students and teachers to express their depression or desperation and either talked about or had attempted suicide. Feelings of persecution by others were common and led to growing resentment and anger.【F3】Psychiatrists and psychologists
5、recognize that these are red flags demanding medical intervention. Yet one of most striking findings in the report was that the vast majority of these students never had a mental-health evaluation. No wonder only 17 percent were diagnosed with a psychiatric illnessit wasnt looked for. That alone poi
6、nts to a huge mental health gap: If the distress of these students didnt trigger medical attention, its unlikely that less severe struggles that are seen in as many as 15 to 20 percent of other students will do so.【F4】Only recently have we learned that these are neurodevelopmental disorders whose ea
7、rly signs might well be picked up in routine podiatric screening.

9、 psychotic episodes, leaving many patients with only the mildest of symptoms. And the younger the brain, the more malleable is.

10、 【F1】2 【F2】3 【F3】4 【F4】5 【F5】5 【F1】With the extension of democratic rights in the first half of the nineteenth century and the ensuing decline of the Federalist establishment, a new conception of education began to emerge. Education was no longer a confirmation of a pre-existing status, but an instr
11、ument in the acquisition of higher status. For a new generation of upwardly mobile students, the goal of education was not to prepare them to live comfortably in the world into which they had been born, but to teach them new virtues and skills that would propel them into a different and better world
12、.【F2】Education became training; and the student was no longer the gentleman-in-waiting, but the journeyman apprentice for upward mobility.In the nineteenth century a college education began to be seen as a way to get ahead in the world. The founding of the land-grant colleges opened the doors of hig
13、her education to poor but aspiring boys from non-Anglo-Saxon, working-class and lower-middle-class backgrounds.【F3 】The myth of the poor boy who worked his way through college to success drew millions of poor boys to the new campuses. And with this shift, education became more vocational: its object
14、 was the acquisition of practical skills and useful information.【F4】For the gentleman-in-waiting, virtue consisted above all in grace and style, in doing well what was appropriate to his position; education was merely a way of acquiring polish. And vice was manifested in gracelessness, awkwardness,
15、in behaving inappropriately, discourteously, or ostentatiously. For the apprentice, however, virtue was evidenced in success through hard work. The requisite qualities of character were not grace or style, but drive, determination, and a sharp eye for opportunity. While casual liberality and even pr
16、odigality characterized the gentleman, frugality, thrift and self-control came to distinguish the new apprentice.【F5】And while the gentleman did not aspire to a higher station because his station was already high, the apprentice was continually becoming, striving, struggling upward. Failure for the
17、apprentice meant standing still, not rising.6 【F1】7 【F2】8 【F3】9 【F4】10 【F5】10 What accounts for the astounding popularity of Dr. Phil McGraw? Why have so many TV viewers and book buyers embraced this tough warrior of a psychologist who tells them to suck it up and deal with their own problems rather
18、 than complaining and blaming everyone else? Obviously,Oprah Winfrey has a lot to do with it. She made him famous with regular appearances on her show, and is co-producing the new “Dr. Phil“ show thats likely to be the hottest new daytime offering this fall. But we decided to put Dr. Phil on the cov
19、er not just because hes a phenomenon.【F1】We think his success may reflect an interesting shift in the American spirit of time. Could it be that we re finally getting tired of the culture of victimology?This is a tricky subject, because there are very sad real victims among us. Men still abuse women
20、in alarming numbers. Racism and discrimination persist in subtle and not-so-subtle forms.【F2】But these days, almost anyone can find a therapist or lawyer to assure them that their professional relationship or health problems arent their fault. As Marc Peyser tells us in his terrific profile of Dr. P
21、hil, the TV suits were initially afraid audiences would be offended by his stern advice to “get real! “ In fact, viewers thirsted for the tough talk. Privately, we all know we have to take responsibility for decisions we control. It may not be revolutionary advice(and may leave out important factors
22、 like unconscious impulses).【F3】But its still an important message with clear echoing as, a year later, we contemplate the personal lessons of September 11.Back at the livestock farmthe one in Crawford, TexasPresident Bush continued to issue mixed signals on Iraq.【F4 】He finally promised to consult
23、allies and Congress before going to war, and signaled an attack isnt coming right now(“Im a patient man“). But so far there has been little consensus-building, even as the administration talks of “regime change“ and positions troops in the gulf. Bushs team also ridiculed the press for giving so much
24、 coverage to the Iraq issue. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld called it a “frenzy“, and Press Secretary Ari Fleischer dismissed it as “self-inflicted silliness“. But as Michael Hirsh notes in our lead story, much of the debate has been inside the Republican Party,【F5 】where important voices of experience
25、argue Bush needs to prepare domestic and world opinion and think through the global consequences before moving forward. With so much at stake, the media shouldnt pay attention? Now whos being silly?11 【F1】12 【F2】13 【F3】14 【F4】15 【F5】15 As a young bond trader, Buttonwood was given two pieces of advic
26、e, trading rules of thumb, if you will: that bad economic news is good news for bond markets and that every utterance dropping from the lips of Paul Volcker, the then chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the man who restored the central banks credibility by stomping on runaway inflation, should be r
27、espected than Popes orders. Todays traders are, of course, a more sophisticated bunch. But the advice still seems good, apart from two slight drawbacks. The first is that the well-chosen utterances from the present chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, is of more than passing difficulty.【
28、F1 】The second is that, of late, good news for the economy has not seemed to upset bond investors all that much. For all the cheer that has crackled down the wires, the yield on ten-year bondswhich you would expect to rise on good economic newsis now, at 4.2%, only two-fifths of a percentage point h
29、igher than it was at the start of the year. Pretty much unmoved, in other words.Yet the news from the economic front has been better by far than anyone could have expected. On Tuesday November 25th, revised numbers showed that Americas economy grew by an annual 8.2% in the third quarter, a full perc
30、entage point more than originally thought, driven by the ever-spendthrift American consumer and, for once, corporate investment.【 F2】Just about every other piece of information coming out from special sources shows the same strength. New houses are still being built at a fair clip. Exports are risin
31、g, for all the protectionist crying. Even employment, in what had been mocked as a jobless recovery, increased by 125, 000 or thereabouts in September and October.【F3 】Rising corporate profits, low credit spreads and the biggest-ever rally in the junk-bond market do not, on the face of it, suggest a
32、nything other than a deep and long-lasting recovery. Yet Treasury-bond yields have fallen.If the rosy economic backdrop makes this odd, making it doubly odd is an apparent absence of foreign demand Foreign buyers of Treasuries, especially Asian certral banks, who had been swallowing American governm
33、ent debt like there was no tomorrow, seem to have had second thoughts lately.【F4】In September, according to the latest available figures, foreigners bought only $5-6 billion of Treasuries, compared with $ 25.1 billion the previous month and an average of $38.7 billion in the preceding; four months.【
34、F5】In an effort to keep a lid on the yen s rise, the Japanese central bank is still busy buying dollars and parking the money in government debt.
