Do you know what Street Sense is? It’s a newspaper in
Washington, D. C. about homeless people and
problems that affect them. Homeless, or formerly
homeless, Washingtonians write many of the articles.
The newspaper’s business model is based on homeless
sellers who sell the newspaper. You can hear them call
out “Street Sense for sale! ”near subway entrances,
lunch places and other areas around the city.
The Street Sense newspaper is housed in an office in a Christian church in Washington. Every
other Wednesday about fourteen thousand copies are printed. The newspaper expresses the
thoughts and experiences of people who call the streets home.
Four staff members work at Street Sense. Two of them are paid. The staff members write the first
two pages of the paper. Intern s, students working as part of their studies and volunteers help.
Homeless writers provide the rest of the material. This includes poems, stories and essays.
Street Sense provides training for the homeless who want to become part of the sales team. After
the training, each trainee is given ten free copies of Street Sense. Once those are sold, trainees
become real sales people. They buy papers for thirty-five cents each and sell them for a dollar.
Lisa Gillespie is the managing editor of Street Sense. She says the newspaper plays a part in
homeless people’s lives that other media cannot. With the help of the newspaper, a lot of homeless
people have become confident again, and their lives have also been improved a lot.

It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dick
ens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are
linked(
联系
)
．
Dr Adele Juda studied 5
，
000 creative
（创新的
) people in Germany. She found there were more
people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate
(
比例
) of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.
Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creati
vity. But, it did nothing to explain it.
Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people,
she took a group of psychiatric(
精神病的
) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got
much higher scores than a normal group.
Also, the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. T
his suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes(
基因
)
．
But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists
believe that evolution(
进化
) has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the
development of the whole human race.
Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the
world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.
8. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following group has the lowest rate of mental illness?
A. Painters.
B. Musicians.
C. Poets.
D. Bus drivers.
9. The underlined phrase “made a breakthrough” in the fourth paragraph means “________”
．
A. discovered or found something new and important B. made a way through using force
C. (of the sun or the moon) appeared from behind (clouds)
D. suddenly changed (from a slower to a faster pace)
10. What is the writer's attitude towards madness?
A. Madness is harmful to the whole society. B. A little creative madness is good for us all.
C. All the talented people are mad. D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.
