A new study suggests 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 adolescent（青少年的）health to investigate （调查）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, to attend religious services and to vote.

1.The best title for this passage should be____________.

　A. Teens, Television and Depression

　B. Men Develop Depression Easier than Women

　C. Media Use is Harmful to Adolescents

　D. Take Great Care of Teenager's Depression

2.The result of the research seems to prove______________.

　A. teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adults

　B. other media uses do no harm to adolescents

　C. TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression

　D. those who watch no TV will not develop depression

3.We can learn from the survey that of all the media use

　A. computer games are teenagers' favourite

　B. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio

　C. teenagers enjoy watching TV very much

　D. newspaper is not included in the survey

4.We can conclude that a teenager should _____

　A. play more video games instead of watching TV

Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners．

One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week．The runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步机）．Sometimes they wore running shoes．Other times they ran barefoot．

Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot．They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels．

The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya．The researchers divided the runners into three groups．One group had always run shoeless．Another group had always run with shoes．And the third group had changed to shoeless running．

Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first．That puts great force on the back of the foot．But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot．That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels．

Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels．The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down first．Also，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings．

But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot．They say it takes some training．And there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured．

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.

B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.

C. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.

D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.

2. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that__________.

A. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes.

B. the landing point is very important in running.

C. running shoeless can give people a real exercise.

D. different running ways cause different injuries.

3.Why do people who run in shoes land on their heels?

A. Because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot.

B. Because the design of running shoes is unreasonable.

C. Because people who often run get used to landing on their heels.

D. Because the running people want to run faster.

4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes?

A. Positive.　　　　 B. Persuasive.

C. Objective.　　　 D. Supportive.
