Employers are far less likely to employ people with mental illnesses than those with physical ailments(疾病), a report shows. Just 20% of those with severe mental health problems have jobs, compared with 65% who have physical problems. The government is launching an initiative urging employers to improve conditions for people with a mental health problem. A spokesman for the Confederation of British Industry said the majority of businesses offered staff support. It is estimated one in four people will suffer a mental illness at some point in their lives. And even for those with more common types of mental illness, such as depression, only about half are competitively employed. However, up to 90% of people with mental health problems want to work, compared to 52% of disabled people generally. The voluntary standards, launched to coincide with World Mental Health Day, will also be used by public sector organizations, including local councils, government departments and hospitals. The Disability Discrimination Act, which comes into force this December, will require these bodies to end unlawful discrimination and promote equality of opportunity. Health Minister Rosie Winterton said: "Ignorance and stigma (侮辱)still surround the issue of mental ill-health and when someone does develop a problem, they often do not get the support they need from society to help them recover." "We all have a role to play in helping to tackle this issue. Employers can help by raising awareness of mental health issues amongst staff, supporting those affected and combating discrimination against staff and customers." "This is good for staff and good for employers, who we know will benefit from reduced staff turnover and sickness absences." Work and Pensions Minister Lord Hunt said: "Work is important and beneficial to our physical and mental well-being. Because of this, it is essential that we remove the barriers that prevent people starting, returning to, or remaining in work." A Confederation of British Industry (CBI) spokesman said: "Three quarters of companies already operate a stress management policy and 34% offer rehabilitation support when staff become ill. But employers, especially small firms, need more support and advice in helping employees with mental ill-health, so we welcome the Department of Health’s promise to listen to business’ needs and to develop commonsense guidance.\ British government urges companies and employers to improve conditions for ______.

Two astronauts face a not-so-merry Christmas after being told to ration their food and hope a cargo ship with extra supplies docks on Dec. 21. The crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) only has enough supplies to last a month and must wait until the day after Western Christmas for a Russian cargo ship to deliver new supplies, space officials said on Friday. Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov and American Leroy Chiao have been asked to cut out calories equal to three cans of Coke from their daily diet--around 10 percent of their daily allowance and an amount that would be little noticed, NASA said. Russian officials, quoted in the local media, have accused the previous crew of overeating during their one-month mission earlier this year, leaving a deficit of meat and milk and a surplus of juice and confectionery (糖果). The Dec. 24 launch of the next Progress is now vital for the crew, stationed in orbit since October. It is due to dock with the ISS on Dec. 21. NASA officials said their situation was not so different from being cut off on Earth, and their lives were not at risk. "If you get snowed in, you’re going to make do," said Jim Newman, director of NASA’s Human Space Flight Program in Russia, who said the shortage pointed to the need for a better food inventory system rather than greedy astronauts. "If it launches as planned, they will have a very nice holiday season," he added. If they do not receive fresh supplies, the astronauts would have to evacuate the station and return to Earth on the Soyuz capsule that is docked there. "If the Progress is unable to arrive, there is a plan we can put into place for an orderly and safe return," said Newman. Russia has been the sole lifeline to the ISS for almost two years when the United States grounded its shuttle fleet after the fatal Columbia accident. Russia has often complained of its financial struggle to keep the ISS fully serviced single-handedly. Shuttle flights could resume in May, officials have said, but in the meantime Russia will continue to launch all manned and cargo ships. Cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station were told to ______ to last a month.

We all hope that the values that are important to each of us are passed along to our children. Often, however, that hope is challenged by a flood of pop culture messages, peer pressure, and over-scheduled lives that leave little time for good counsel or reflection. It’s easy to forget that learning values and character at home is as important as any schoolwork or extracurricular activity. In the real world of jobs and career, people are judged by two standards: their professional skills and their personal traits. While grade school, high school, and college can teach skills and proficiency, it’s up to parents to teach children the attributes that make for success in the real world--diligence, a cooperative attitude, creativity, optimism, assertiveness, and honesty. Schools--particularly college--don’t focus on these issues. That’s the job of the parents, so take the assignment seriously. Send your kids into the world ready to handle not only the tasks of life but also its hurdles, social obstacles, and frustrations with finesse and character. You really can’t start soon enough. After all, children need personal integrity and morals as much as any adult. Bullies will always be around, tasks won’t always be assigned fairly, the good guys won’t always win, petty concerns will often trump issues of substance, and money won’t always be in ample supply. Exposing children to the harsher realities of life isn’t cruel; giving them that experience and coaching them through it is part and parcel of raising kids to have courage, resilience (适应力), and honor. Do this exercise: write down the 5 to 10 most important messages you want your children to truly understand by the time they enter the real world. Then think through how to teach these crucial lessons. Talking to your kids should be only part of the plan. Letting them witness integrity in action--through your own behavior, by watching documentaries about great people together, or even by visiting a courtroom--is the strongest way to impart the message. By identifying the specific attributes you would like to see in your children, you’re more likely to reinforce those characteristics. So make a point of it. After all, if you don’t teach your children integrity, who will According to the passage, an overflow of pop culture messages, peer pressure, etc. is the challenge of ______.
