report. That depressing news comes as no surprise to healthcare professionals, who say that many kids
and parents don"t recognize depression’s symptoms(症状). And if they do, it can be difficult or
impossible to get help. This is no small problem; about 2 million teenagers experience clinical depression
each year, an illness that can do harm to school performance and friendships and is a leading cause of
teen suicide(自***).
The new report found that just 39 percent of teens with major depression got treatment. Here are
three ways to make sure your child can get over the problem.
Getting diagnosed(诊断). Last month, pediatricians(儿科医生) and family doctors were required
to examine all teenagers for depression. Courtney Jones, a 17-year-old in Portland, Ore., said that the
examination saved her life when she was 14. She didn"t recognize that her loss of confidence and sudden
lack of interest in spending time with friends were warning signs. Symptoms of depression include
frequent sadness, decreased interest in activities, and hopelessness.
Finding help. It"s no surprise to healthcare professionals that families have a hard time finding
mental-health services; there are only 7,418 child and adolescent psychiatrists(精神科医生) in the
United States, or about 1 for every 10,000 kids. For now, the best first step is to be examined by a
pediatrician or family doctor, and then go to a psychiatrist for treatment and perhaps medication. David
Palmiter, a psychologist, suggests checking out local universities, which often run clinics, as well as
community mental-health clinics.
Paying for treatment. Paying for healthcare is a struggle these days, and mental-health services can
be ever harder to cover. The report found that lack of health insurance coverage was the biggest barrier
to getting help. Only 17.2 percent of teens without health insurance coverage were able to get treatment.
However, there are still ways to find affordable mental-health care that you may not be aware of. In a
word, you should establish a relationship with a doctor, give the doctor a chance to get to know your kid
and help her or him get better.
a. committing suicide
b. sudden lack of interest in staying with friends
c. failing the school examinations
d. frequently feeling upset e. feeling desperate for no good reason
B. b, c, e
C. a, c, e
D. b, d, e
B. it"s necessary to examine all teenagers for depression
C. many American kids are suffering from depression
D. warning signs can help kids to find their problems
B. a psychiatrist or psychologist
C. a psychiatrist or family doctor
D. a pediatrician or psychiatrist
B. lack of psychiatrists for children
C. lack of health insurance coverage
D. difficulties in diagnosing depression
B. To explain the findings of a new report to people
C. To help parents to have their kids get treatment.
D. To arose the public"s attention to the problem

of health and human services, recess(课间休息) and physical education have in many schools been
cut back or canceled. While most of kids are eager to catch up with friends, the general feeling is that
"playtime is over."
Summer vacation does offer most children a bit of free playtime — the sort that leads to physical
activity and self-organized play, often in short supply during the school year. Still, it"s not enough.
Playtime shouldn"t be limited to summer vacation: it"s important all year.
For most American children in the past, "going out to play" was the norm. Today, according to a
University of Michigan study, children spend 50 percent less time outside than they did just 20 years
ago. There is a direct line between lack of play and some frightening public health and social trends:
tragic statistics for obesity(肥胖), 4.5 million children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder(ADD)
(儿童多动症), an increase in childhood depression and classroom behavioral problems, and an
inability to interact well with peers.
Just an hour a day of active play-running, chasing, games like dodge ball—can provide intense skill
learning. Physical activity is known to lessen the symptoms of mild attention deficit disorder, and
reduces the risk of childhood obesity. Active kids can perform better academically in the long term.
We should be aware of how important play is to one"s development. Even a play-deprived social
mammal(哺乳动物) like a rat or monkey will become unable to tell friend from enemy, and poor at
handling stress when it enters adulthood. My studies of young murderers revealed that most had lacked
normal, developmentally appropriate play as children and pre-adolescents.
Play is fun, but ultimately it is also useful. The smarter the animal, the more they play. For humans,
play refreshes us because it gets us in touch with our core selves and the joy of life.
I feel sad about the kids who have given up on play for another nine months. Their devaluation of
play is a tragic loss for them and for our society.
B. to suffer from depression
C. to fail to get along well with others
D. to murder their peers
B. it is the best way to cure children with obesity
C. it helps children to improve academic achievement
D. it can teach children to tell friend from enemy
B. requires enough playtime
C. enjoys playing very much
D. knows the importance of play
B. American children lack playtime during the school year.
C. Schools give children more playtime in the new semester.
D. Children with ADD should play less than normal children.
B. What Playtime Brings to Children
C. Lack of Play Leads to Problems
D. Let the Children Play
stop at the grocery for a case of diet soda. On our way to lunch she asked me "Do you think that drinking diet soda makes you fat?"
"Depends on whom you ask," I said. Last year, researchers from the University of Texas Health
Science Center in San Antonio reported that adults who drink diet soda did not lose weight. They were
actually more likely to become overweight than those adults who did not drink soda at all or those that
drink regular soda. In fact, the more diet soda consumed, the more likely someone would become
overweight. To be specific, there was a 41% increase in the risk of being overweight for every can or
bottle of diet soda consumed daily.
In this study, researcher Sharon Fowler followed over 600 normal weight adults ages 25-64 over a
seven to eight year period of time. She has a number of theories as to why weight gain may be a result of
drinking a zero-calorie beverage:
1.Artificial sweeteners may affect your body’s ability to judge how many calories you consume. When no calories are consumed, the body may continue to crave(渴望) what it expected and could lead to
overeating.
2. Some people give up regular sodas to justify their favorite dessert and still take in too many calories. A regular soda contains about 150 calories while your dessert may be double that in calories easily.
3. For others who were gaining weight already, switching to diet soda wasn’t enough to stop the gain.
Since her first piece of research, Fowler has tracked another 2000 people with similar results. Do the
faux sweet products induce people to want more sweets? Fowler suggests that perhaps it’s not the soft
drinks themselves that cause weight gain but that there is some link between diet soda drinking and
overweight.
B. Some want excuses to have dessert.
C. Some mistake diet soda as no-calorie drink.
D. Diet soda can help people lose weight.
B. Diet soda increases the risk of becoming overweight.
C. Diet soda actually contains more calories than regular soda.
D. Those who drink diet soda are 41% more likely to become fat.
B. People also have foods containing more calories when they choose diet soda.
C.Diet soda has little effect on those who have become overweight already.
D.Diet soda is a sweetener that increases the body’s needs for calories.
B. The research lasted many years and over 2000 people took part in it.
C. Diet soda has opposite effect on those who take it to lose weight.
D. Sharon Fowler is the first to find drinking diet soda leads to overweight.
B. reduce
C. advise
D. inspire
A few cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart disease,Greek researchers said
on Wednesday.A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular (心血管的)
Prevention showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from tea already linked
to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.
The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries (动脉)
to relax,said Charalambos Vlachopoulos,an expert at the Athens Medical School in Greece
who worked on the study.
Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.
The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher
quantities of beneficial substances called flavonoids (类黄酮)-some of which are lost 
in the
oxidation (氧化) process that black tea undergoes.
Flavonoids are also found in cocoa,tomatoes and grapes."A couple of cups a day would
probably be good for people," Vlachopoulos said."This is the first study to show these
effects for green tea."
The researchers gave 14 healthy volunteers either green tea,coffee or hot water and then
measured the function of endothelial cells (内皮细胞)．These cells help relax arteries and
ease blood flow."What is important is these effects are evident within 30 minutes,"
Vlachopoulos said.
The measurements taken 30,90 and 120 minutes following consumption showed an
almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea,he said.While the researchers
looked only at a short-term effect,Vlachopoulos said the team"s studies suggest the protection
is long-lasting.
"Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea,but it could be more
beneficial,"he said.

Many of the 12,000-plus summer camps in the United States are making greater efforts
to guard against the spread of the new A/H1N1 flu.
Many parents are debating whether they should stop their kids from enjoying the summer
camp because of the new f
lu.Jing Zhang of New York said she decided to keep her 5-year-old daughter at a local day-care center."Why would I want to spend a fortune on
the summer camp when the risk is the same?" she asked.
Dr.Daniel Rauch,said the risk of catching A/H1N1 flu is only greater in close or group
settings,for instance,when kids sleep near each other in beds,tents or cabins.Unless children
already have potentia
l illness or immunodeficiencies (免疫缺陷),going to summer campsdoes not necessarily have a greater risk of catching A/H1N1 flu than going to public spaces
such as playgrounds and shopping centers,he added.
Some camp administrators said they would send any sick child home immediately or
separate them in a clinic and let them play board games while they are being observed.
"We try to create a temporary camping center in the summer and we are very vigilant
about it," said Andy Pritikin,director of Liberty Lake Day Camp in Mansfield,who sent a
child with fever home last week,with full credit to come back later in the summer.
"Parents should know whether camp nurses are available.And if there"s only a bottle
of medicine and a bed in the back room,and it takes three and a half hours to get to the
nearest hospital,parents need to know that," said Sean Nienow,director of the National
Camp Association.

Nowadays, most of us live a busy life. What do you do to keep yourself relaxed?
Besides spending time with family, having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book,
how about a hobby?
Personally, I"m a collector. I like blue and white pieces the best---blue and white
anything﹗Plates,jars,vases, cups, bowls---I love them all. Collecting items is like
something you can"t get enough of. You get one, and you want to have more.
I find collecting to be a fun and inspirational hobby. In many ways, it"s like a puzzle
I"m never tired of solving. I look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection. I
can often be found visiting Marshell"s, looking over their inexpensive offerings. In fact, I
found one of my favorite pieces there.
I"ve mixed inexpensive pieces from Marshell"s with more expensive finds. A lot of times,
it"s the piece I"m not looking
for that falls into my lap; I find a way to make it part of my
blue and white family. What I love about my collection is that when I get inspired, I can
move them around the house, mix and match and make things look fresh and new.
Ever since I was a little girl, blue has been my favorite color. I think I got it from my
aunt in Mexico. Some of my earliest memories are visiting her in Mexico and sitting on a
chair in her kitchen, which had blue and white tiles(瓷砖)from the floor to the ceiling. I
would spend countless hours admiring all the beautiful blue and white plates and shiny blue
tiles around her kitchen. Once I had a home, I began to build my own blue and white
collection.
B. reading a book alone is really boring
C. keeping a hobby is not easy for most of people
D. having a glass of wine with friends is not a good idea
B. People always want more than they need.
C. People may not know what they want to collect.
D. Once you start collecting things, it"s hard to stop.
B. don"t know what it is
C. get it unexpectedly
D. l
ike it very muchB. When the writer started liking blue things.
C. What kind of thing the writer collected first.
D. Why the writer liked her aunt"s things so much.
