　　A

　　It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She will talk about my lack(缺乏) of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

　　“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.

　　I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

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

　　The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的） healthy 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, attend religious services and to vote.

　　13．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 depreion

　　14．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

　　15．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

　　other than TV

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

　　.Dear Xiao Wang,

　　I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.

　　It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others' opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.

　　I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I'm looking forward to your next letter.

　　Yours,

　　Li Hua
