But the extent towhich TV may or may not be to blame is a question that the study leavesunanswered.The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health toinvestigate the relationship between media use and depression. They basedtheir findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 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 5.5 hours a day. More than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2002, more than 7 percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. 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 8 percent increasein 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 awayfrom activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and socializing. It might also interfere with sleep, he says, and that couldhave an influence.D 6.

For that, the hot pot is a delicious and heartychoice. Families or groups of friends sit around a table and eat from a steaming pot in the middle, cooking and drinking and chatting. Eating hot pot is not a passive activity: diners must select prepared raw food from plates scattered around the table, place them in the pot, wait for them to cook, fish them out of the soup, dip them in the preferred sauce, and then eat them hot, fresh, and tender.The hot pot has a long history in China. It originated in the north, where people have to fend off the chill. It spread to the south during the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-906). Later, northern nomads who settled in China enhanced the pot with beef and mutton, and southerners did the same with seafood. In the Qing dynasty, the hot pot became popular throughout the whole area of China.The pot itself is usually ceramic or metal. In the past, charcoal was the fuel of choice. Nowadays people use mostly gas or electricity for this purpose; only the most nostalgic use charcoal. The soup stock is prepared well beforehand and is made by boiling beef, pork, or chicken bones. The sauces are also pre-prepared, with most consisting of soy sauce, vinegar, and hot pepper, some people like to beat a fresh egg, or just the white of it, into the sauce.Meat, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and bean noodles are the most popular ingredients. Pork, beef, and chicken are often presented side by side; mutton is less frequently used. Meat should not be cooked too long; otherwise it will lose its tenderness. It's best for the meat to be cut asthin as paper, and that's why a sizable piece of meat often shrinks to a small bite after being boiled. Seafood usually includes shrimp, crab, oysters, clams, squid, cuttlefish, and fish fillet. To make sure the morsels do not drift away or sink to the bottom or hide somewhere, a strainer in which each diner can hold onto his or her delicacies is recommended.Popularly used vegetables are cabbage, spinach, turnip, green onions, celery, and lettuce. Lettuce is a special favorite among diners for its tender, crispy, and sweet nature. Fresh vegetables should be boiled only lightly. Mushrooms of various kinds, dried or fresh, are widely used, asare dried lily flowers. Bean curd and bean noodles serve as more than just fillers. They do not have much taste themselves, but they absorb therichness of the other ingredients. Bean noodles are usually cooked later to help finish up the soup. Some people put plain rice into the last ofthe soup to make porridge. Consistent with Chinese culinary thrift,nothing is wasted.B 11. Which of the following is true about hot pot?A.
