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 (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, to attend religious services and to vote.

  How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses?You may be   1  to follow trends(潮流)in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about   2   as you do.

  A recent survey(调查)among high school   3   in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that   4   teenagers care more about their appearance than young people in the US.

  This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries.More than 7,000 teenagers were   5   about their views on life and the world.South Koreans, at 83 per cent, cared most about their looks.They were   6   by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 per cent.

  “The different results show   7   of cultural background(背景),”said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.He explained that in the US there are many different   8   of beauty, so teens are more   9   to be confident about their appearance.

  US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed(展示)in the   10  .About 85 per cent are happy with themselves.The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 per cent.

  What’s   11  , US students showed more individuality(个性), with 88 per cent   12   that“people should follow their own interests rather than   13   of others”.This is much   14   than South Korea’s 69 per cent, China’s 49 and Japan’s 48.

  Japanese students, at 52 per cent, are most dissatisfied with modern society.Chinese and Koreans follow at second and   15   most dissatisfied.

  “  16   to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined(有纪律的).They have a strong wish to make a difference.  17   Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,”said Sun.

  The students have different   18   backgrounds.But home and places where friends gather are the favorite places all teens seek happiness.

  Exams and worries about life after graduation cause much   19   among most of the teens   20   for the survey.
