I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye. Queen City Casket Company. “What is it?” I wondered I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand scrawled (手寫的) message. Immediately my mind traveled back many years ago.

I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet street of Springfield, with a bag of magazines on my shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers whether they wanted any magazines.

Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader’s office. After a quick glance he led me over to the fireplace. Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said, “Come with me!” pulling me into his car . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had ever seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them. “We’ d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr. Rader said.

Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a card, wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With   tearful eyes, I read, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said affectionately, “Jimmy, I want you to know I love you”. I said goodbye, and for the first time I sensed a flam of hope that somehow things would be all right. With people like Mr. Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a difference.

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room. I went out there where he was  36up and down restlessly.

Tim wore a black raincoat that was   37   all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing （扭） his hands nervously. He had   38   his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.

I looked at Tim. He was very   39   and depressed （in low spirits）. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we   40  , Tim only sat hunched up （蜷縮） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't ___41   back, but he didn't look at me either.

"Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I   42    a bit. Then I said, "I know it hurts.”

He came, and I ____43____we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon―in   44   and without making any eye contact. It's not easy for me to 45   in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n）  46  to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my   47  . But why did he   48   look at me?

"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his   49   with," I thought.

One afternoon, Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more   50  and his motions more lively.

Some months later, I sat staring at Tim's head,   51   he was bent over the chessboard. I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing （治療） process.   52  , he looked up at me. "It's your   53  ," he said.

After that day, Tim started talking.

Maybe I gave Tim something, but I learned a lot from him. He showed me how one-without any words―can   54   out to another person. All it   55   is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature―and an ear that listens.

     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 (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 he socially active, to read, attend religious services and to vote.

 

72. 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

73. 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

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

    A. computer games are teenagers' favorite

    B. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio

    C. teenagers enjoy watching TV very much

    D. newspaper is not included in the survey

75. We can conclude that a teenager should _____

    A. play more video games instead of watching TV

    B. be active in taking part in outdoor activities

    C. be more active in watching educational TV programmers

    D. attend religious services and care for politics
