题型:不详难度:来源:
Depressed people can be very difficult to be around,and yet they need more than the usual amount of support and understanding from their friends and family.
The anger and lack of concern that a depressed person may have for people close to him or her can be very disturbing to someone who"s trying to help.At such times,the sincerity of a friend or a family member is questioned when the depressed person doesn"t feel worthy of someone"s friendship.Withdrawal from others can make it nearly impossible to encourage a depressed person to enter into activities that may help pull him or her out of the depression.
It is frequently difficult for a depressed person to carry on a conversation.Attempts to help may be met with defensiveness and verbal attacks.While being supportive and understanding,the friend of a family member must be careful not to do too many things for the depressed person.There is a very thin line between being supportive and being overly protective.Too much“doing for” can be a disservice(帮倒忙).
You can best help a friend or relative who is depressed by considering the following points:
◆Do not moralize.Don"t pressure him or her to “put on a happy face,” or to “snap out of it.” Often the person will feel even worse after hearing such words.
◆When you are alone with your depressed friend,you might say something like,“I"ve noticed lately that you seem down.I care about you and would like to listen to what you"re thinking about.” Then be a good listener.
◆Don"t say,“I know exactly how you feel.” You probably don"t.But if you"ve had similar experiences,sharing those may help.Say things like,“This happened to me.It might help you.” Or “I know some of what you must be feeling.”
◆Urge him or her to get professional help if necessary.Offer to accompany your friend on the first visit if it will be easier for the person.

Children and teenagers who spend lots of time in front of screens---especially TVs---are   easier to get more weight as they grow, according to a new study.
The findings agree with the research suggesting all that inactive sitting and always watching   advertisements may lead to poor eating habits.
Researchers used results from a long-term study of children who took part in the surveys every two years. Children were between ages 9 and 16 when the study started. Out of 4,300 girls in the   study, 17 percent were overweight or obese(肥胖的). Twenty-four percent of the 3,500 boys   were also above a healthy weight.
The surveys included questions about their height and weight as well as how much time they spent watching TV and DVDs and playing computer and video games.
From one survey to the next, each one-hour increase in children’s daily TV watching was in connection with an increase of about 0.1 points on a body mass index (BMI)(体质指数), which measures weight in connection with height. There’s an increase of about half a pound in weight per extra hour of TV.
“The weight of the evidence is so strong that television watching is connected with unhealthy changes in weight among youth,” says Jennifer Falbe, who led the study while at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
“It"s important for parents to know that all the obesity-causing(引起肥胖的)screens really should be limited in their children"s lives.” Falbe says. “When children watch TV, there are many food advertisements on TV that might lead them to eat a cookie or drink a soft drink.” What"s more, she says, “they can get into a hibernating(冬眠) state on the sofa, even if children are sitting down while playing a computer game.”
小题1:Which of the following statements can be the best title for the text?
A.A new study on screens.
B.TVs do harm to children.
C.The less TV time, the fatter.
D.Too much screen time leads to obesity.
小题2: How many children took part in the study?
A.4,300B.3,500
C.7,800D.9,800
小题3:According to the study, one extra hour screen time will cause children about ______ pound
fatter.
A.0.1B.0.5
C.0.3D.0.7
小题4:According to Falbe , what should parents do to stop children getting fat?
A.Limiting the time of children watching TV.
B.Buying children food advertised on TV.
C.Not allowing children to watch TV.
D.Encouraging children to play computer games.

     Teaching kids to fish sometimes puzzles us parents. Now I"d like to give you a few tips.
     First of all, start them young. Get them in a boat, or on the bank at as early an age as you possibly can.
This means paying close attention to their safety. Whatever you do, DON"T plan on any fishing yourself.
If fishing is going to happen, the fishing will be done by the kids with your help! This lets you pay attention
to them and not ignore (忽略) them while you fish.
     Next, choose places where you can catch a lot of fish easily. At this point, it doesn"t matter what kind
or how big; just make sure they can catch some. A small child"s patience (耐心) is very short, and waiting
30 minutes for a bite will turn them off in a hurry. You may need to go to a small pond (池塘) where the
fish are dying to eat bread balls. Any type of fish will do. Remember, this is for them, not for you. 
    Cheer for every fish they catch as they fish. Take pictures. And if it"s possible, take some home. Let the
child help you clean with a table knife, so he can"t get hurt.
     Make sure he makes and sees the connection from catching to cleaning to cooking. Let him see the fish
cooking, and talk about how good they are. Then when it"s ready, make sure you talk proudly about the fact
that he or she has caught these fish, and "aren"t they good?"
    In this way, I"m sure your kids will be interested in fishing and good at fishing.

Dear Michelle,
    My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses (咒骂).
I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any
of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another
family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?
                                                                                                                     Prisoner of a Crazy House
Dear 7th Grader,
    I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get
older and mature.
    While it is true that your mother"s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want
to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am
guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way
and keep away from your mother"s habits. 
    At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on
weekends and visit your friends at their homes.
    Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But
they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor
who makes all the difference!
    Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your
mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.
                                                                                                                                          Michelle
