One school night this month I walked quietly up to Alexander, my 15-year-old son, and touched his cheek gently in a manner I hoped would seem casual．A year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screen．

I made a mistake: breaking into my teenager's personal space. “The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy," Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me. Mr．Frankel and Mr．Fox, both 17, are the authors of Breaking the Code, a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents．It is being promoted by its publisher as the first self-help guide by teenagers for their parents, a kind of "Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus" that explains the language and actions of teenagers．The girls dealt with issues including hanging out late, money, school pressures, smoking etc．

Personally, I welcome their opinions．The most common missteps in interacting with teenagers arise from the war between parents exercising their rights to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers firmly guarding their privacy．Teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents' remarks and respond with anger that masks their vulnerability （脆弱 ）. Ms Fox said, "What we want above all is your approval．Don't forget, no matter how much we act as if we don't care what you say, we believe the things you say about us．"

Nancy, a New York child-raising expert said she didn't agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonable．"When your kids are saying, ' You don't get it, and you never will, ' there are lots of ways to respond so that they will listen and that is what the writers point out．"

" My parents helped me see that, " Mr．Fox told me, " even though they used to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school, times have changed and the way parents educate children is different．These days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kids．Parents worry about their child crossing the street．" The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking．

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.
【小题1】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

［1］In a study likely to make school caretakers embarrassed, U.S. researchers said that chewing gum may help improve performances of teenagers. Many schools ban chewing gum because children often throw away the sticky chaw under chairs or tables. But the study found that students who chewed gum during math class had higher scores on a math test and better grades than students who did not chew gum in the class.

［2］“For the first time, we’ve been able to show in a real-life kind of situation that students did perform better when they were allowed to chew,”said Gil Leveille, director of the Wrigley Science Institute. Wrigley has gotten feedback from many of its gum customers who say chewing gum helps them stay focused.

［3］The researchers studied four math classes（108 students aged 13 to 16）.About one half got free Wrigley’s sugar-free gum to chew during class, homework and tests. They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 percent of the time they were in math class and 36 percent of the time they were doing homework. The other half_____________.

［4］After 14 weeks, the gum chewers had a 3 percent increase in their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test, a small but significant change. As a matter of fact, the gum chewers did get better final grades in the class than their non-chewing peers.

［5］Leveille said chewing gum helps reduce stress, so students can do their best work. And while he is aware that many schools have a dim view on students’ chewing gum in class, he hopes the findings may change that a bit.

［6］“It’s not a matter of chewing. It’s a matter of gum disposal（处理），”Leveille said, adding that it can be overcome by teaching proper disposal methods. If that failed, he joked, “We’ll have to provide the cleaners with scrapers（刮刀）”
