At Grier, an ill or injured student is treated by caring nurses in our Health Center. When a student is struggling or just needs an adult to speak to, the counselors and Student Support consultant are there for him or her.‎ Counseling Counselors at Grier help students develop independence and a sense of self-worth while ‎ maintaining strong ties with parents. Parent involvement is valued and occurs on an ongoing basis via email and phone updates. The counseling team works together to help ensure that a student’s experience at Grier is positive and productive.‎ Consulting psychologists Students whose counseling needs require more than what our guidance counselors would typically provide may meet with one of four consulting psychologists that come on campus once a week. These psychologists, based in nearby state college, help to continue therapy that may already have been started before a student comes to Grier. Students may also begin therapy while at Grier if issues in their lives seem to need such attention.‎ Group therapy Grier offers between 4-8 groups per year, ranging from socialization and choices groups to family specific and special topic groups. Many of our students join these groups to have help from their peers and two trained group therapists to overcome a struggle they may be experiencing or to discover a better way to handle a problem.‎ Student services Student Support consultants provide tutoring and support for students who benefit from this extra care and attention during the study hall hours.‎ Health center Whether a student has a headache, a case of the sniffles, or something worse, the team of nurses at the Grier Health Center are her first line of care.

Though most of Gutenberg’s early life is a mystery, historians believe that he spent much of his young adult life practicing the profession of his father: goldsmith. Having a liking for fortune, Gutenberg borrowed money from investors in 1439 and produced many polished metal mirrors which were to be sold to visitors coming to see the exhibition of relics from Emperor Charlemagne. However, the event was delayed for one year due to severe flooding. He found himself in financial trouble because of the unsaleable mirrors. The impatient investors demanded that Gutenberg return their investments. In order to satisfy the investor, Gutenberg decided to share his greatest secret with them.‎ This secret would forever change the world and this idea would form the backbone of the modem knowledge-based economy. Gutenberg had created the mechanical printing press with movable type.‎ Before the spread of Gutenberg’s idea, literature was primarily handwritten. That meant that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten and very valuable. Because of the effort that went into producing them, there was a great scarcity of books, so there was little reason for common people to learn to read or write. Gutenberg’s invention would change all of that. His printing press allowed literature to be produced on a mass scale.‎ Gutenberg3s idea would soon change the world, but in the short term he bungled (搞砸) what proved to be a large and risky investment. He found himself in financial trouble once again and was sued by one of his investors who accused Gutenberg of managing money meant for the ‎ production of books. The courts ruled against Gutenberg and he was effectively bankrupt.‎ Though he had failed as a businessman, the technologies that he had created spread across Europe rapidly. As these printing technologies and techniques spread, news and books began to travel across Europe much faster than previously possible. The world has not been the same since.‎ ‎25. What made Gutenberg fail to sell metal mirrors?‎ A. His overconfidence. B. His impatience.‎ C. A natural disaster. D. The unpopularity of metal mirrors.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “scarcity” mean in Paragraph 3?‎ A. shortage B. adequacy C. quantity D. abundance ‎27. It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that ________.‎ A. Gutenberg made a fortune B. Gutenberg’s idea contributed to the spread of knowledge C. Gutenberg’s was bankrupt because of his addiction to technology D. Gutenberg attached importance to investment ‎28. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. Gutenberg’s contribution to the world.‎ B. How Gutenberg influenced the development of literature.‎ C. Gutenberg’s biographical information.‎ D. What life was like during Gutenberg’s time.‎ C A panel of experts of the World Health Organization concluded on Wednesday. June 15, that regularly drinking coffee could help protect against some types of cancer, a decision that followed decades of research pointing to the beverage's many health benefits.‎ The announcement marked a rare reversal for the panel, which had previously showed coffee was likely to cause cancer in 1991. But since then a large body of research ha& described coffee as a surprising elixir, finding lower rates of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, neurological disorders and several cancers in those who drink it regularly. In their report issued Wednesday, the scientists did identify one surprising risk for coffee and tea drinkers. They said that drinking “very hot” beverages was likely to cause cancer. Bui researchers also said that people could ‎ easily avoid this by letting their hot tea or coffee cool off for a few minutes before drinking it.‎ Much of the evidence for coffee's health benefits results from observational studies, which cannot prove cause and effect. But the favorable findings on coffee consumption have been so consistent across so many studies that numerous health authorities have endorsed (认可) it as part of a healthy diet.‎ Last year, a panel of scientist that shaped the United States governments 2015 dietary guidelines said there was “strong evidence” that drinking three to five cups of coffee daily was not harmful, and that “moderate” consumption might reduce chronic diseases. Another group, the World Cancer Research Fund International, reported in recent years that coffee protects against many cancers. And the author of one systematic review of studies said that coffee consumption should be encouraged in people with chronic liver disease because it seems to lower their risk of dying.‎ The World Health Organization is the latest group to suggest regularly drinking coffee might he good for health. The organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, or I ARC, said a team of 23 scientists reviewed more than 1000 studies and found no conclusive proof that coffee causes cancer. But the studies did suggest it was protective against some types of cancer, such as live cancer.‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?‎ A.

IARC found strong evidence that coffee leads to cancer ‎32. Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Coffee Is Helpful to Cure Chronic Diseases B. Coffee Has a Close Link with Cancer C.

For this reason, a percentage of the attendance fee is a charitable contribution.‎ TED Talks on the web are also supported by partnerships with carefully selected organizations; their ads on the videos and website support making TED Talks available to the world for free in many languages and on many platforms. Other projects and initiatives (倡议) are supported by foundation funding and individual donors.‎ And of course we’re also supported in kind by tens of thousands of volunteers - like all the amazing translators with the Open Translation Project, TEDx organizers, TED. com conversation moderator,and everyone who ever shares a TED Talk with someone else.‎ ‎33.

Maybe that’s the exact reason why many people consider them ways to show off their social status or how much money they have.

It is probably all about the culture of “face”.‎ If you think that way, you can only live 66 superficial (肤浅) life. We young people,instead of following brand crazes, should choose what we really need or what 67 (suit) us best. No one is like us in any way, so there is no need to put what 68 may value before what we truly value. In addition, can luxury goods really make you happy? 69 (blind) comparing yourself to others, without thinking about your own money situation, can make you feel even empty inside and cause you serious trouble if you use you money irrationally (不理智地).
