China has now mapped out plans for its next four launches in the Shenzhou program on the next flight. But one conclusion seems to have escaped most reports in the aerospace media. The flight of Shenzhou 7 could be timed to coincide with the Beijing Olympics. Plans for the 2008 Summer Olympics call for the events to be held between the 8th and 24th of August. It's reasonable to expect that China will use the event to promote its achievements before the world, and human spaceflight is China's most significant recent breakthrough.

Shenzhou 7, China's next manned space mission, was originally advertised for 2007. This fit into the pattern of staging a two-year gap between crewed Shenzhou missions, which have previously launched in 2003 and 2005. But Chinese media statements have recently amended this to 2008. Chinese media have reported that while the overall program is going well, more time is needed to work on the spacesuit that will be used on this flight to stage China's first spacewalk. It's possible that Chinese engineers want to make best preparations for this complex mission.

China could intend to carry out the mission of Shenzhou 7 just as media attention is focused on the lead-up to the Olympics. The crew of the flight, and possibly China's other flown astronauts, could then take part in the opening ceremony. China has previously feted her space travellers in great celebrations, such as the Hong Kong event that saw Yang Liwei singing with actor Jacky Chan.

China has also suggested that the activity will be carried out by a single astronaut, and has indicated that half an hour is a rough estimate of the planned time for the spacewalk. China is apparently following suit, probably for the same reasons of conservative mission planning and safety.

The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday．

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders （帶躁狂的抑郁癥） and the current market meltdown （崩潰） could worsen feelings of despair among people who can't stand such illnesses．

The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited．

"We should not be surprised at the turbulence （動蕩） and likely consequences of the current financial crisis．Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need," WHO director general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts．

"It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders," Chan warned．

Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health, said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives．

Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic （慢性） and disabling, he said．Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large part of them are young adults．

Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said, "Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes．Even the poor can be affected by this crisis．"

"There is clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters．I am not talking about the millionaire's jumping out of the window but about poor people," he said．The global crisis could be expected to affect the "stability of communities and families", according to Saraceno．

60．According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that        ．

A．more people will be poorer

B．more people will be out of jobs

C．more people will suffer from mental problems

A．far more work should be done to help those who are mentally ill

B．it will be surprising to see more people commit suicide

C．a(chǎn) mental disorder is a chronic disease

D．many more young adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages
