A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television， the more likely they are to develop depression 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 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． The average age at that time was twenty-one． 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 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， he says， is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression， 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， attend religious services and to vote．(1)The average age of the depressed young people should be___ when they began to receive the survey．A． 21B． 15C． 14D． 20(2)According to the passage， which of the following can possibly lead to depression？___A．Swimming．B．Attending a partyC．Attending religious servicesD．Watching TV for a long time．(3)We can learn from the passage that___．A．the survey lasted a short timeB．over 280 teenagers who received the survey became more or less depressed in 2002C．men are more likely to become depressed than women．D．the study about the relationship between midia use and depression was published in the journal Social Indicators Research(4)What is the best title for the passage？___A．Teens， television and depressionB．Depression- the common problem of teensC．Problems of watching TVD．Teens- a group enjoying watching TV
A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television， the more likely they are to develop depression 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 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． The average age at that time was twenty-one．
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 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， he says， is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression， 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， attend religious services and to vote．

答案
1-4CDBA
1．C．推理判断题．根据文章第三段They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began 1995他们的研究结果是基于超过4000名1995年调查开始时没有抑郁的青少年．．以及第五段Seven years later， in 2002， more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression． The average age at that time was twenty-one七年后的2002年，超过百分之七的年轻人有抑郁症的迹象，当时的平均年龄是二十一岁．由此可见，患抑郁症的平均年龄是21-7=14岁，故选C．
2．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television， the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults． 可知青少年看电视的次数越多，他们越有可能在年轻时患上抑郁症．故选D．
3．B．推理判断题．根据第五段 Seven years later， in 2002， more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression．可知七年后的2002年，超过百分之七的年轻人有抑郁症的迹象．结合第二段 They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began 1995．他们的调查结果基于超过4000名1995年开始调查时没有抑郁的青少年．由此可见，4000*70%=280人，由此推断2002年，接受调查的280多名青少年或多或少感到沮丧．故选B．
4．A．标题判断题．根据文章大意可知，本文介绍了一项新的研究表明，青少年看电视的次数越多，他们越有可能在年轻时患上抑郁症．Teens， television and depression符合题意，故选A．
