Depression(抑郁症) is a serious problem today. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”. Depression hits one person in five around the world.

Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world’s population will be suffering from a serious depression.

A recent study shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults.

The researchers used a national long-term survey of teenage health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.

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. Media use totaled an average(平均) of 5 and a half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.

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 every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount(总量) of media use. It’s still uncertain if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities help prevent depression.

Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists 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 likely to be socially active, to read, to take part in religious services and to vote.

My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside, her native place. Recently parents brought her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use dirty words when she was unhappy and even hit others when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to roll on the ground, which shocked all people around. Her parents tried to educate her by beating and kicking. However, it just made the problem more serious. Finally they became completely disappointed with her.

One day their next-door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a beautiful snow-white dress. It immediately caught the girl's eyes and made them shine brightly.

The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others, and even less rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not suitable for her in such a beautiful dress.

Since then the girl had been gentle, neat and lovely.

Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. However, he may not know about it, forget it or give it up. Beauty is a powerful force—that's something unrealized by many of us. It can recall fine qualities that humans are born with, but have so far hidden somewhere.

On a rainy weekend in March, Hangzhou in Zhejiang welcomed a special group of guests. From March 23 to 24, 31 young people from 30 countries and regions gathered in the city, sharing their experiences and exchanging ideas at the Belt and Road Youth English Speaking Competition.

During this competition, young contestants had conversations about each other's cultures. They also shared their impressions of China and its development so far. In the final, six contestants gave speeches with a theme of The Great Truth is Simple.

Contestant Nicol Yong Jia Jia from Malaysia won the championship. She said she thinks people's "great truth" comes from their hearts. By this, she means that people can look at negative situations in a positive light. For example, she is rather short, but she looks at her height in a humorous way. "I actually think I'm pretty tall. You are just taller," she said.

Momo-Carol Kavani Ako from Papua New Guinea looked to a well-known saying in her speech. The "great truth" she talked about is the idea that "No man is an island". She pointed out that people from around the world have made progress and survived by working with each other and helping each other out.

Chinese contestant Chen Qiyu. who was the first runner-up. focused on something more specific(具体的). She talked about the secret to being a good writer and speaker.
