A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television , the more likely they are to develop depression (抑郁)as young adults. But the extent to which TV may or may not be to blame is a question that the study leaves unanswered.

The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression . They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents 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.

Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2002, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. Their average age at that time was twenty-one.

Brian Primack at the Universtiy of Pittsburgh Medical School was the leading author of the new study . He said every extra hour of television meant an eight percent 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 explore if watching TV causes depression . But one possibility, like sports and socializing. It might also interfere with sleep, 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. 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 more likely to be socially active, to read, to attend religious services and to vote.

60.The average age of the depressed young people should be       when they began to receive the survey.

A.21    B.15     C.14  D.20

61.According to the passage, which of the following can possibly lead to depression?

A.Swimming

B.Attending a party

C.Attending religious services

D.Watching TV for a long time.

B.over 280 teenagers who received the survey became more or less depressed in 2002

C.men are more likely to become depressed than women

D.the study about the relationship between media use and depression was published in the journal Social Indicators Research

  Tattoos(纹身)and body piercings(穿洞)have moved up on the trend list in recent years.Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink.Like all other subjects, we'll surely be faced with such situation.To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let's sit down and hear what they say.

  Kerstin Otto from Washington:

  The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn't be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.

  Erin from Indiana:

  I think body piercing is cool.In most situations, you don't really have to worry about it getting torn out.I go to Noblesville High School.I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade).Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent.I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I'll look bad.But that is my personal opinion.I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference.

  Tiara from Indiana:

  I personally think body piercing is sickening.If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them.I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing.Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous.I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.

  Lee from Illinois:

  Hi!I live in Illinois.I am 23.I have 12 tattoos and three piercings.I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector.You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work.People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg.Most of them don't know what it is.They just think the work itself is great.

  Subotai from California:

  I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder.In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion.A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin.It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's.

  Nagib from Washington:

  I wanted an earring.My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing.I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn't let me.Now I'm glad I didn't get it.I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn't have looked good with it.

  Jackson from Ohio:

  I don't think it's wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything -I think that's ridiculous.People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body-I don't think that's necessary.When I see naked chicks on guys, I think.“You have no respect for women.”

  Brittney from New York:

  You don't want to do stuff to your body.You don t need to do that because you were made perfect.You don't need to add piercings.If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay.If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it.But otherwise, don't mess with what you got.Maybe you should try something more substantial(充实的)to find beauty in yourself.
