The researchers used a national long-term survey of healthy young teenagers of about 13-16 to find out the relationship between media (媒体) use and depression. They based their findings on more than 4000 young teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995. As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Here was the result. The young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and more than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV. Seven years later, in 2001, more than 7% of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8% increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use. Doctor Primack says the study did not find out if watching TV causes depression directly. But one possibility, he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and social activities. It might also prevent a person from sleeping well, he says, and that could have an influence. The study was just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry. In December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, attend social services and to vote. | Process of the study | Details | The purpose of the research | To find out 1_______ between media use and depression. | At the beginning of the research | 2_______ was made among over 4000 young people who were not depressed. | The result of the survey | These young people spent five and a half hours a day in using media and they spent over 2 hours or that 3_______ | Seven years later | Researchers found 7% of the young people had a sign of depression.

Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are keen about food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food "junk food". But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don"t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don"t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn"t follow a healthy diet. They didn"t like vegetables, and many of them didn"t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat. Parents today also worry about their children"s diet. Some doctors give the following advice: Teenagers shouldn"t eat too much junk food. Teenagers shouldn"t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future. Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar. Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins (维生素) and have little fat.

It"s reported that some children have killed themselves a 1 arguing with their parents. I think this is because they don" t have a good t 2 with each other.

"I"ve nothing to say for myself and I"m willing to be punished (惩罚)," he said when he was standing in the court. "What I want to say is that I feel sorry for what I"ve done. I thought alcohol (酒精) could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could take away others" freedom. And now I"ve lost my own freedom because of drinking. I"ll obey the new road safety rules and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading (劝说) others not to drive after drinking." Anyone who drives after drinking doesn"t think much of human life. If Gao had cared, he would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a taxi home, and he would have thought about a road killer he would become. It"s fair to say that his behavior can not be excused in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under the influence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have made the dangerous decision that may possibly hurt other people. | 1. What was the reason for Gao Xiaosong"s being jailed for six months? ________________________________________________________ | 2. How did he feel for what he had done? ________________________________________________________ | 3. Did he think he was wrong? ________________________________________________________ | 4.

What"s your idea after reading this passage? ________________________________________________________ | |
