    A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression (抑郁症) as young adults.
    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.

    Passage 1  Mobile Phone Madness
    How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包，裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean.

    Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
    Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study.  Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
    The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.
    The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
    "Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's psychiatry（精神病学） department, who led the study. "For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(忽视，不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around." 
    He added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.
    【小题1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A．There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
    B．The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
    C．Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
    D．The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby’s cry.
    【小题2】The game “whack-a-mole” shows ______.
    A．a baby’s cry can get special attention from adults
    B．men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
    C．adults without babies react less quickly to a baby’s cry
    D．women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men
    【小题3】“Whack-a-mole” requires people to hit _____ at a time.
    A．one buttonB．one of nine buttons
    C．nine buttonsD．ten buttons
    【小题4】According to the passage, a baby’s cry ______.
    A．has the same pitch as birdsong
    B．is the noisiest sound there is
    C．can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure
    D．is good for its health
    【小题5】From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
    A．taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
    B．human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
    C．baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
    D．baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution

    阅读下面的短文， 并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）
    _[1]If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
    [2]According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
    [3]The researchers also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.
    [4]A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
    [5]Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without___________________. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
    [6] “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
    [7]It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
    [8]Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

    【小题2】Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
