A
There are several reasons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy (怀孕) or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.
Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency (which is not genetically linked to just one parent—both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).
Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (药草) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.
The majority of the popular, prove hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.
One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms(症状) that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.
1、It can be learned from the lst paragraph that ________.
A．usually hair loss is hard to heal
B．female hair loss is more common than the men’s
C．women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period
D．only illness contributes to hair loss
2、Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?
A．Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.
B．Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair.
C．Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss.
D．The former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.
3、The reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include ________.
A．the biological structure and composition of the hair
B．the wants and needs
C．the reactions and responses to the outside changes
D．the approach to taking exercise
4、The natural treatments ________.
A．include vitamin and mineral supplements
B．are applied to keep the hair healthy
C．have been proved useful
D．are the most commonly-used ways

B
This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow,I feel a rising embarrassment.”Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset?
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them,I have explored the mysterious,complicated bond between fathers and sons. As My wife and I raised them,I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce，I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around,I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now，standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions,I realize it's me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back,sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of aa guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,”Daddy，I don't think I need a blanket tonight.”I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I'll never have to worry about that again,I realize.
For his part,Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I'm glad.After all,someone's got to be strong.I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
