discouraging children from reading by dragging them around bookstores and force feeding them literary classics leading children s writer Anthony Horowitz has suggested Horowitz author of the best

should keep banging children over the head wit h he told The Times Horowitz s comments followed publication yesterday of a major review of literacy in primary schools by Cambridge University which suggested that gains in reading skills at school through the national literacy 8 strategy had been achieved at the expense of pupils enjoyment of reading He also called on schools to set aside more time for children to read for pleasure and less time for analyzing texts line by line At home parents should not force their children to read books they read as a child as children literature is now in a golden period he said As children my generation was given the books that our parents read Now children can discover their own books Their own books There have never been so many good living young writers Horowitz was speaking at the opening of the annual Starbucks Bookdrive a Starbucks campaign in partnership with the National Literacy Trust to promote reading by encouraging donations to school libraries He suggested that the best way that parents could encourage a child to read was to set aside 15 minutes a day to read to them As adults we are all so busy that we tend to forget the great value of spending 15 minutes a day reading with our child There is no better way to get to know your child than to share their books with them It s not going to be for ever and they may not

influence the body a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease In a study of almost 3 000 men and 5 000 women depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary 心脏的 heart disease than those who weren t depressed While depressed women were just 12 percent more likely to develop heart disease those who were severely depressed were 78 percent more likely In fact a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood 10 pressure The link works the other way around too While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack The more severe the depression the more dangerous it is to your health But some studies suggest that even mild depression including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years may damage the heart Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work Researchers aren t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is but theories exist One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves They re more likely to eat high fat high calorie comfort foods less likely to exercise and more likely to smoke But beyond lifestyle there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart healthy 0 3 fatty acids People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones 荷尔蒙 These keep the body primed for fight or flight raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries 动 脉 and prevent the body s natural healing mechanisms from working properly A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health the nervous system the hormone system and so on This science is gradually sorting out how the mind body connection affects us or defenses against heart disease Generally an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year Although available treatments can ease symptoms 症状 in more than 80 percent of people treated less than half of those with depression get the help they need 5 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage A Depression Heart Disease Risk Factor B Heart Disease Health Killer C Depression Mental Health E
