As a recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression（抑郁癥）as young adults.

The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的） healthy to investigate（調(diào)查）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 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 of five and one-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 etc. 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 of media use.

The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could 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 more likely to be socially active, to read, attend religious services and to vote.

1.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Media Use is Harmful to Adolescents

B. Men Develop Depression Easier than Women

C. Teens, Television and Depression

D. Take Great care of Teenager’s depression

2.The result of the research seems to indicate .

A. teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adults

B. other media uses do no harm to adolescents

C. those who watch no TV will not develop depression

D. TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression

3.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. longer use of media other than TV doesn’t increase the chance of depression

B. every extra hour of media use increases the chance of depression

C. depression is related to the use of other media other than TV

D. the influence of movies, video games and radio on depression varies

The American literature is from the Romanticism to the Realism.

The American Romanticism began from the end of 18th century to the outbreak of the Civil War, which is also called the American Renaissance. The period is as well as the time of American Westward Expansion. During the period, there were lots of workforces crowding to the cities, which promoted the industry. The people found that they need their-own literature to record their experiences. So the Romanticism flourished(繁榮）.

The Romanticism in American literature focuses on imagination and emotional factors. The American writers paid more attentions to the free expression of feelings and the characters’ inner world. During the romantic period, there were many writers: Philip Freneau, William Cullen Bryant and so on.

The Realism in American literature was from 1865 to 1914, and it takes on the American spirit, especially in American stories. The Realism against the Romanticism, advocates the people to come down to the earth and get rid of daydreams.

During the 50 years from the Civil War to the WWI, the America had experienced a great change on many aspects, such as the politics, economy, culture and religion. It had changed the nature and the idea of the American society. The writers of new age didn’t agree with the Romanticism of the old age.They were interested in real life and wanted to explain everything relating to the real life, which is to claim the objective reality, to get rid of idealism and Romanticism.

There were 3 main writers at that time: William Peanoweils, Henry James and Mark Twain. Their writings represented the American native customs with their deep rural styles, which uncovered the people’s inner life.

1.What does the passage talk about?

A. The American Romanticism.

B. The History of America

C. The Civil War of America

D. The American literature

2.What does “it” in para4 refers to?

A. The Realism in American literature

C. The period from 1865-1914

D. The American spirit

3.The representatives of Realism are the following except__________.

A. William Cullen Bryant B. William Peanoweils
