26、Depression and suicidal thoughts have doubled in young Americans, according to a new study from the American Psychological Association.

Likely triggers (诱因)? Cell phones and social media.

“More US adolescents and young adults in the late 2010s, vs the mid-2000s, experienced serious psychological distress, major depression and more attempted suicide(自杀)”, says lead researcher Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “These trends are weak or non-existent among adults 26 years and over, suggesting a generational shift in mood disorders instead of an overall increase across all ages.”

Twenge believes this trend is partially due to the explosion of digital culture over the past decade, which may have twisted modes of social interaction enough to affect mood disorders.

The study analyzed data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which tracked drug and alcohol use and mental health issues in more than 200,000 youths aged 12 to 17 from 2005 to 2017 and almost 400,000 adults from 2008 to 2017.

Major depression in the last 12 months increased by 52 percent in kids from 2005 to 2017 and 63 percent in young adults aged 18 to 25 from 2009 to 2017. There was also a 71 percent jump in young adults experiencing serious psychological distress in the previous 30 days from 2008 to 2017.

So what’s so different now? Twenge says research shows young people just aren’t getting as much shuteye as they did in previous generations.

Whereas older Americans might have established more stability in their lives, sleep-disrupting social stressors are likely at their peak for teens and young adults in this digital era, she says. Older adults are also less likely to let devices interfere (干预) with sleep.

These results suggest a need for more research to understand how digital communication versus face-to-face social interaction influences mood disorders and to develop specialized interventions for younger age groups.

Her suggestion? Put your phone down at least an hour before bedtime.

【1】What might Professor Twenge agree with?

A．Mood disorders show no difference across all ages.

B．Teens are less likely to let devices interfere with sleep.

C．Digital cultural explosion might cause depression in teens.

D．The past decade has seen a sharp decrease in teens mental disorders.

【2】How is Paragraph 6 developed?

A．By stating facts.

B．By giving examples.

C．By providing statistics.

D．By presenting theories.

【3】What do the underlined words “social stressors” in Para 8 mean?

A．Interaction modes.

B．Mental health issues.

C．Drug and alcohol use.

D．Cell phones and social media.

【4】From which is the text probably taken?

A．A biology textbook.

B．A medical case.

C．A travel guidebook.

D．A science magazine.

28、   There is evidence that just counting money can produce valuable psychological benefits. According to a new study published in the journal Psychological Science, thumbing through your cash can reduce emotional and physical pain as well as increase feelings of internal strength, fearlessness and confidence.

Focusing on the symbolic power of money, researchers started with a simple hypothesis: reminders of money can alter how people experience social interactions — especially social acceptance and rejection.

To test the idea, the researchers took the following approach: 84 students at a Chinese university were divided into two groups. One group counted 80 large-denomination bills: the other group parceled out 80 pieces of plain paper. All participants then played an online video game in which, using game controls, they could throw a ball and play catch with other Internet players. But the game was rigged so that after 10 throws, half the students would no longer get the ball thrown to them, while the rest of the students continued to play catch. When the game ended, participants who had been excluded from the second round of catch rated their level of social distress and how strong they felt. Those who had counted money before being socially excluded reported lower levels of social distress than those who had counted only paper. Additionally, the participants who had counted money also reported greater feelings of inner strength and self-sufficiency.

To see if counting money also reduces physical pain, the researchers repeated the earlier social-exclusion test, but this time they replaced the ball game with a pain-sensitivity task, in which half the participants were put in a moderate-pain condition (their hands were put in warm water), while the other half were subjected to a high-pain condition (hands were put in very hot water). Again, those who had counted money reported lower levels of pain.

To complete their study, the researchers conducted additional experiments. They also found that reminder of having spent money aggravated feelings of social distress and that both social rejection and ideas of physical discomfort fueled participants’ desire for money as well as made them less generous.

【1】According to the text, which of the following behaviors can bring psychological benefits?

A．Throwing coins.

B．Making money.

C．Counting money.

D．Checking the bank account.

【2】Which participants reported lower levels of pain?

A．Those who counted 80 large-denomination bills.

B．Those who counted 80 pieces of plain paper.

C．Those whose hands were put in warm water.

D．Those whose hands were put in very hot water.

【3】What action can cause psychological and physical distress?

A．Playing ball games

B．Counting plain paper.

C．Putting hands in water.

D．Thinking of recent spending.

【4】Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?

A．Reduced.

B．Irritated.

C．Worsened.

D．Annoyed.

29、Hip-hop culture covers many fields; it includes spoken words, break-dancing, beat-making, painting, fashion, lively design, technology, and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists launch school programs, summer camps, and other activities connected city youth in the classroom through the beliefs of hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who once would have been strongly against hip-hop — have joined the crew. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become a legitimate(合法的) field of study in universities and the subject of numerous books.

Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent. Teachers must be willing to engage in it if it's part of the unique reality of their students' lives. That way, teachers can truly be effective, reaching students in a meaningful, culturally connected way.

Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous knowledge or experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected(分离的) from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don' t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it's your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator. Hip-hop is about a respect for youth culture.

【1】Those who once most probably disagree with hip-hop education are ___________.

A. middle school teachers   B. unofficial artists

C. the young living in cities   D. university teachers

【2】The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.

A. familiar   B. similar

C. popular   D. regular

【3】The author finds teachers’ lacking in hip-hop culture might be beneficial because _________.

A. students will frighten teachers at school

B. teachers can learn from students in the field

C. teachers will connected the culture with lessons

D. teachers’ knowledge or experience will be enriched

【4】Who would the young like to learn from?

A. Those who respect their culture.

B. Those who are interested in music.

C. Those who keep their character real.

D. Those who are willing to learn from others.
