The teenage years should be the best years of your life!
Young people often hear adults say this, but many teenagers disagree. They simply don’t feel like they’re in the midst of their best years. The pressures of school exams and concerns about relationships with family and friends create a great deal of stress for the average teenager. Many find ways to cope with the stress. But for a large number of teens, their problems seem impossible to deal with. When this happens, the young person may fall into depression.
In mainland China, a survey found that 16 percent of college students suffered from fear, anxiety, or depression. Increasing mental health problems have prompted the government to look for possible solutions.
This growing trend extends beyond Asia, too. Studies in the U.S. and the UK show that teenage depression is on the rise. A 2004 report stated that emotional problems among Britain’s youth have increased by 70 percent over the past 25 years.
Faced with these startling numbers, mental health professionals are hoping to raise awareness. Depression can range from mild unhappiness to thoughts of suicide. For this reason, adults should take the illness seriously. Parents can do this by learning about the causes and symptoms of teen depression.
Some factors that may lead to teenage depression are:
●Overwhelming expectations by parents and other adults
●Parental separation or divorce
●Death of a loved one
●Moving to a new location
●Physical illness
Most of the time when teens are depressed, there’something wrong in their lives, says UCLA psychology professor Constance Hammen. Kids often get depressed because bad things happen to them that they don’t have the coping skills to deal with.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of depression, you need to talk with someone. There’s no shame in being depressed. Most people suffer from it at one time or another.Unfortunately , feelings of depression may cause you to feel hopeless about your life and your future. But another person can help you put things in perspective.

第1题：
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.
［A］ the dream to build interplanetary Internet can be fulfilled in the future
［B］ interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 years
［C］ the research of Internet took 50 years
［D］ it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet
正确答案：A本题考查考生的推理引申能力。文章最后一段所做的假设（在今后50年内仅仅是研究项目的东西，在100年后完全有可能商业化）以及与因特网发展历程的比较，都是塞尔夫为了说明建立星际因特网在未来是有可能实现的，所以［A］项正确。文中提到100年只是一种假设，［B］项将其确定为商业化实现的时间，不正确。同样，［C］项将假设中的50年确定为因特网的研究年限，也不正确。该段中塞尔夫的一番话表达了他对星际因特网的建立怀有比较乐观的态度，而不是说明它需要花很长时间才能实现，［D］项不正确。
