British psychologists have found evidence of a link between excessive （過度的） Internet use and depression, a research has shown．

Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psycho pathology journal, said a small part of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users．

The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression is from a questionnaire-based study of 1，319 young people and adults．

The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent en the Internet and what they used it for; they also completed the Beck Depression Inventory—a series of questions designed to measure the seriousness of depression．

The six-page report, by the university's Institute of Psychological Sciences, said 18 of the people who completed the questionnaire were Internet addicts．

"Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but hat we don't know is which comes first—adepressed! people drawn to the Internet or does he Internet cause depression?^ the article's lead author Dr Catriona Morrison said．"What is leadis that, for s small part of peoples, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal or depressive tendencies．"

The age range of all respondent? was between 16 and 51 years, with an average age of 1．24．The average age of the 18 Internet addicts was 18．3 years．By comparing the levels of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non-addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher chance of developing depression than non-addicts．They also discovered that addicts spent more time visiting sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online communities．

"The public speculation （推測） was further proved by this study．That's to say, over-engaging in websites which serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," Morrison said "We now need to consider the wider social influences of this relationship and clearly prove the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health．”

       A．use the Internet more than enough      B．feel depressed when using the Internet

The stress of daily life has caused a new phenomenon—sleep texting．People with the rare condition send incoherent （語無論次的） text messages while asleep to their friends and family—completely unaware that they are doing it．

Sleep specialist Dr David Cunnington of Melbourne Sleep Disorder Centre in Australia, said patients had reported incidents of sleep texting—and he has advised people to leave their mobile phones outside the bedroom．He said; "We have had patients who have reported sending text messages to their friends and family while asleep．It is one of those things that happen, but it is very rare, and certainly not a common trend．" 

Unsurprisingly, there are no studies into sleep fexting—but a similar phenomenon, sleep emailing, was studied in 2008．Researchers at the University of Toledo reported the case of a woman, 44, who would compose emails while sound asleep．She did not remember sending the emails when awake．Dr Cunnington said cases of sleep emailing were more common, and  were likely to have a more detrimental effect on the lives of sufferers．He said; "Emails can be sent to work colleagues and have much more serious consequences, while text messages are more likely to be accidentally sent to a friend or family member, so people aren't as likely to complain, of a problem．" 

Dr Cunnington described sleep texting as the result of people having too much to do during waking life．He explained; "People are doing so much during a normal day that it can mean that they feel like they're "on call'; even at night．Because it's so easy to receive emails constantly, and get notifications （通知） from cellphones, it becomes more difficult for us to separate our waking and sleeping lives．" Dr Cunnington said people struggling to get a quality night's sleep should keep their phones out of the bedroom．"The key point is that people need to respect their sleep, and make an effort to switch off at night．"

60．What do we know from the passage about sleep texting?

       A．People send clear text messages while sound asleep．

       B．People can clearly remember the content of sleep texting．

       C．Sleep texting is generally sent to friends and family members．

62．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "detrimental" in Paragraph 3?

Jean-Francois Millet （October 4, IBM—January 20, 1875） was a

French painter and one of the founders of the Barbizon School in rural

France．Born．of a peasant family? Millet was encouraged by his father to

study art in Cherbourg, France．He can be categorized as part of the

movement called "naturalism" （自然主義）．Besides, Millet is also considered as an advocate of the movement " realism” （現實主義）．His understanding of the peasants' hard life was perfectly, expressed in his choice of subject and natural preference for powerful but simple drawing and coloring．

One of the most well-known of Millet's paintings．The Gleaners （《拾穗者》）, first came in a vertical composition （垂直式構圖） painted in 1854,．and then there came the horizontal version in 1856, which is now preserved in the Musee d'Orsay．It depicts women bending over in the fields to collect the leftovers from the harvest, and it is a monumental composition devoted to the working class．

Previously, servants were depicted in paintings as obedient to a noble or a kings and picking up what was left of the harvest was regarded as one of the lowest jobs in Millet's times．However, Millet offered these women as the heroic focus of the picture．Besides, in the painting, light lights up the women's shoulders as they carry out their work．Behind them, the field that stretches into the distance is bathed in golden light, -under a wide, magnificent sky．The forms  of the three figures, standing against the lighter field, show balance and harmony．

       A．was born in rural France

       B．belongs to neither naturalism nor realism

       C．became famous for his love of the countryside

       D．received his high school education in Barbizon
