a heart breaking and controversial topic Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention their youth education and most importantly bright futures make them the envy of society However in recent years we ve read more reports of student suicides Perhaps that s simply because of society s attention with youth But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of young people Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides Not surprisingly the top factors usually include psychological and physical sickness emotional trouble and peer pressure Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market Thankfully more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services to address students mental and psychological problems These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties From appointing in house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students to help their troubled peers many universities are making efforts to fight student depression There is no denying that much remains to be done but such efforts are already working helping students and saving lives However the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves Whatever efforts school officials make it is up to students to realize their problems and ask help Unfortunately many students considering suicide refuse to seek help By shutting themselves away they can easily fall into vicious cycles 恶性循环 becoming even more easily hurt to personal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world While establishing better on campus psychological education and outreach programs as a step forward students themselves must actively reach out for help These dangers are a reality for every student not only those who feel confused and depressed 53 Why are there so many students that commit suicide A Because of psychological and physical sickness B Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future C Because of the emotional

of the following can be the best title for the article A Help is at hand for suicidal students B More college students commit suicide C How can students avoid committing suicide D Why do college students feel depressed E I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route He replied You mean fortunately He
