37、Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons.What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year.

38、ntense(强烈的)enough to call for professional help. But many reject tli at idea, because they dont want people to think theres something wrong with them.There are three reasons why todays students are suffering more than in earlier generations.

39、 high divorce rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties, the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support.

41、1titude(众多)and difficulty of choosing a major, college can prove a time of great indecision. Many students switch majors.

46、suade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war or war will stop man. For the present

47、, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌)or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new w

48、ay, not as contests Of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀), but by arbitration(仲裁)in accordance with agreed principles of law.

50、opinion during the past two years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.
