三. 閱讀理解：
Hong Kong pop star Zhang Guorong ,46,jumped out of a window of Mandarin Oriental Hotel at the start of April,2003,leaving behind sorrowful fans and（自殺）note which newspapers said was caused by emotional（情感的）problems. His death shocked the public and incident again brought a serious topic to light-suicide.
Zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “Farewell My Concubine”, where he played a homosexual（同性戀的）Chinese opera singer. The popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous Palmed’ Or at the Cannes Film Festival. However, such achievements could not make Zhang content with his life. It was report that long before his death, Zhang had been suffering from depression（意志消沉）. His tragedy shows we need to learn how to reduce the pressure from our society by happily and naturally facing life. Depression, a mental illness, and suicide have often been highlighted in the past as serious social problems-and for good reason.
According to experts, about 5 to 20 percent of people are suffering from depression, some of whom are not even aware of the illness. And alarmingly, 10 to 15 percent of people suffering from depression will be likely to commit suicide.
Statistics（統(tǒng)計學家）also show suicide is the leading cause of death among young adults. It leads to 3.6 percent of all deaths each year in China, a survey said. Last year, 287,000 Chinese died after committing suicide. The female rate is 25 percent higher than the male rate. For this reason, the media must highlight the negative（負面的）influence of Zhang’s tragedy in its reporting. It is shameful to talk too much about his death. Although his achievements in the arts were great, his final choice cannot be praised, let alone calling his death a “perfect end” to a shining life.
The media should guide people-especially Zhang’s fans-to shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idol’s tragedy, find a release from the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.
1. Why on earth did Zhang choose to kill himself in such a way ?
A. Because he was not as popular as he was before.
B. Because he was disappointed at his life.
C. Because he suffered from high pressure from his fans.
D. Because he dropped out of the hotel accidentally.
2. What does the word “blockbuster” in paragraph 2 probably mean ?
A. Most popular B. Very interesting C. Ordinary D. Boring
3. From the passage we can know ____.
A. more men commit suicide than women in our country.
B. suicide only takes a small part in the deaths of young adults.
C. it is not right for the media to report the “perfect end” of Zhang widely.
D. people never content with their achievements and life will often commit suicide easily.
4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage ?
A. It made little difference whether Zhang died or not among his fans.
B. It was something happening suddenly that caused Zhang’s suicide.
C. Not all the people who suffer from depression know their case clearly.
D. Zhang called on people to make a choice to value their lives.
5. What’s the best title of the passage ?
A. The End of a Famous Star B. Depression Caused the Tragedy
C. How to Face Suicide D. A Perfect End of Life
