Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of ones personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is ones early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Keys: (1)families (2)chemicals (3)information (4) certain symptoms (5)self-esteem (6)thinking patterns (7)mood (8)divorce (9)physical abuse (10)financial difficulties (11)stress (12)anxietyTask 3 happiness indexAustralians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducted door-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30 countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be very happy and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the very happy group was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either disappointed or very unhappy, followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low. 翻译：根据一项由两家市场研究人员进行的调查显示，澳大利亚人是世界上最幸福的人。他们进行对30个国家的近30000人进行入户调查和访谈。他们询问受访的受访者对生活质量的满足程度如何。四零六的澳大利亚人宣布“非常高兴”，并对他们的未来表示乐观。在“非常快乐”的群体中，在美国（百分之40），埃及（百分之36），印度（百分之34）和英国和加拿大（百分之32）。匈牙利拿到了木勺子，整理了幸福图的底部。三零五的市民表示，他们要么“失望”或“非常不满意”，其次是俄罗斯人在百分之30。研究表明，金钱和年龄是决定人们幸福的关键因素。虽然这项研究并没有说明钱可以买到幸福，但它确实揭示了一个缺乏金钱和不快乐之间的联系。低收入群体或失业者发现不太幸福的人群。这项研究还表明，在整体上，我们越老，我们越不高兴。在全球范围内，青少年是最幸福的人。与幸福水平最低年龄为50-59。只有百分之16的人在50岁说他们很快乐。使我们幸福的因素包括良好的健康，金融安全和幸福的婚姻。诸如汽车、衣服和小玩意儿等物质的舒适度相对较低。Keys: B D A A Cl Lets TalkWhen I first met my parents, I was really shy, and I was, and I was in my foster home and I ran upstairs, shy, and I was in my bedroom crying, and my mum came up and said, Oh William, are you OK? and I ignored my mum, cause I didnt know her and I was scared. So, then my foster mum came up and I came down and we had some fun time. It was nice when I first arrived. I thought, Oh goody, two sisters, I can play with them. But now its just, Oh no, not them again! I argue with one of my sisters about her rabbits, cause she doesnt let me touch them. Well she does, but.When I have a bit of a bad time with my sister, I go and speak with my mum and my dad. I feel most comfortable speaking to my dad about all my worries and stuff. I wish I had a brother in this family, but then its just nice (being.) having two sisters, but Id rather have a brother anyway. I mix with different people. Im mostly friends with adults, cause I normally see adults more than children for some reason, I dont know why. It was scary going from my primary school to secondary school, but then thats just me growing up, and Ive got to take the chances and take, just take what Ive learned already and just move on and learn different things.翻译：当我第一次见到我的父母，我真的很害羞，我是，我在家里和我跑上楼，害羞，我在我的卧室哭了，我的妈妈走了，说：“噢，威廉，你还好吗？”我忽略了我的妈妈，因为我不认识她，我也很害怕。于是，我的养妈妈就上来了，我下来了，我们玩得很开心。当我第一次到达时，这很好。我想，“好哇，两个姐姐，我可以和他们一起玩，但现在它只是，“哦不，不是他们！”我和我的一个姐妹和我的一个姐妹吵架，因为她不让我碰他们。她有，但当我和我妹妹有点不好的时候，我和我的妈妈和爸爸一起去说。对我的父亲来说，我感到最舒服的是我所有的烦恼和东西。我希望我有一个兄弟在这个家庭，但后来它只是好（是）有姐妹，但我宁愿有一个兄弟无论如何。我和不同的人混在一起。我大部分是成年人的朋友，因为我通常看到成年人比儿童更多的原因，我不知道为什么。从我的小学到中学，这是可怕的，但那只是我的成长，我必须采取的机会和采取的，只是采取什么我已经学会了，只是继续和学习不同的东西。Keys: (1) shy (2) crying (3)scared (4) came down (5) fun (6) nice (7) two sisters (8) argue (9) touch (10) bad time (11) speak (12) comfortable (13) brother (14) adults (15) children (16) secondary (17) growingup (18) learnl Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Big John is coming!A bar owner in the Old West just hired a timid bartender. The owner of the establishment was giving his new employee some instructions on running the place. He told the timid man, If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, drop everything and run for the hills! Hes the biggest, nastiest outlaw whos ever lived!A few weeks passed uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand came running through town yelling, Big John is coming to town! Run for your lives!When the bartender left the bar to start running, he was knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall. He was muscular, and was growling as he approached the bar.He stepped up to the door, ordered the poor bartender inside, and demanded, I want a beer NOW!And with one strike of his heavy fist, he split the bar in half. The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking. He took the beer, bit the top of the bottle off, and downed the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hid behind the bar, the big man got up to leave. Do you want another beer? the bartender asked in a trembling voice.Dang it, I dont have time! the big man yelled. I got to get out of town! Didnt you hear Big John is coming? 翻译：一个酒吧老板在老西只雇了一个胆小的酒吧招待。这个机构的老板给了他的新员工一些关于正在运行的地方的指令。他对那个胆小的人说：“如果你听说那个大的人要来城里，把一切都放下，然后跑去给你跑去！他是最大的，臭名昭著的逃犯的活！”几星期过去后已无大碍。但有一天下午，当地一个牧童跑着穿过小镇大叫，“大个子约翰进城！为你的生命奔跑吧！”当酒保离开酒吧开始跑步，他被打倒在地的几个人赶出城。当他正拾起来，他看到一个大男人，几乎七英尺高。他肌肉发达，并在咆哮着他走近酒吧。他走到门口，点了一个可怜的酒吧侍者，问道：“我要一杯啤酒！”他用沉重的拳头打了一拳，把那酒吧分成两半。酒吧服务员紧张地递给大男子一杯啤酒，手颤抖。他拿着啤酒瓶，点下顶部，和倒下的啤酒一饮而尽。当那吓坏了的酒吧的酒吧的一个人躲在吧台后面，大男人起身离开。你要再来一杯啤酒吗？”酒吧侍者用颤抖的声音问道。“当它，我没有时间！”大个子喊道。我得离开城市！你没听说大的翰来了吗？”(S1) owner (S2) running(S3) drop (S4) run(S5) local (S6) yelling,(S7) lives(S8) As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall.(S9) The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking.(S10)I got to get out of town! Didnt you hear Big John is comingTask 2 Reason and emotionEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason, as is suggested by phrases such as appeal to emotions rather than reason and dont let your emotions take over. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they cannot control themselves. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is the contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest that there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed facts. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called cold, and others involving the extreme of pure emotion not related to any logical argument, which is called the heat of passion. The relation between logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, even one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no pure decision or thought; that is, no thought is based purely on intellectual logic or purely on emotionmost decisions are founded on a mixture of both. 翻译：情感有时被认为是理性的反面，如“诉诸情感而不是理性”、“不要让你的情绪化”、“不要让你的情绪化”和“不要让你的情绪”。情绪化的反应有时会产生结果或想法，人们可能会后悔或不同意，但在情绪化的状态，他们不能控制自己。因此，人们普遍认为，人类最鲜明的事实之一就是情感与理性的矛盾。然而，最近的实证研究并不表明，有一个明确的区别的原因和情绪。事实上，愤怒或恐惧通常被认为是对观察到的事实的本能反应。人类的思想对外部世界有许多可能的反应。这些反应可能是一个连续的，其中一些涉及纯粹的智力逻辑，这通常被称为“冷”，和其他涉及极端的纯粹的情绪，不涉及任何逻辑的论点，这就是所谓的“激情的热”。逻辑与情感的关系值得仔细研究。激情，情绪和感觉可以加强一个论点，甚至一个基于理性的观点。这在宗教或意识形态上尤其如此，它经常要求一个或任何一个拒绝或接受。在这样的思维领域中，人们必须采用一种全面的观点，部分支持经验的论证，部分是由感觉和激情所产生的。此外，一些研究人员认为，通常情况下，没有“纯”的决定或想法，也就是说，没有思想是基于“纯粹”的智力逻辑或“纯粹”的情绪，大多数决定是建立在两者的混合物。Key : A B C C DTask 3 Every cloud has a silver liningPat:You look depressed.

I just feel theres too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat:You cant let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. Whats your problem anyway? Ted:I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming. What can I do? Pat:If I were you, Id start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, youre bound to get better grades. You see, no pain, no gain. Ted:Its easier said than done. I get bored after reading only for 15 minutes. Pat:You have to learn some self-discipline. Ted:Worse than that! If I work for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam. Pat:Its all in your mind. Stay cheerful and everything will soon be OK. Ted:But how can I stay cheerful all the time? Pat:Try to look on the bright side of things. Ted:But what if there isnt a bright side? Pat:You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means therere always two sides of everythingboth the dark and bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and then bring them into full play. Ted:Oh no! Your old sayings are making me even more depressed. 翻译：你看起来很沮丧。你觉得蓝色吗？我来为你加油。但没有什么能使我高兴起来的。我在垃圾堆里。生活的痛苦。你得试着让你的想法从中得到你的想法。但我不能。我只是觉得我的压力太大了！你不能让事情让你失望。学会放松，不要担心所有的时间。你到底有什么问题？我上次考试不及格，另一次考试不及格。我能做什么？如果我是你，我就开始努力工作。如果你努力工作很长时间，你一定会取得更好的成绩。你看，“没有痛苦，没有收获。”泰德：说起来容易做起来不容易。读了15分钟后，我感到很无聊。你必须学会自律。泰德：比那更糟！如果我工作半小时，我会头痛。然后我开始担心通过下一次考试。在你的脑海里。保持愉快，一切很快就会好的。但我怎么能一直保持愉快呢？试着去看事物的光明面。但如果没有光明的一面呢？你知道这句谚语：每一个云都有一个银衬里。它意味着双方的一切都是黑暗和光明的一面。所以，试着找出你的长处，然后把他们带到充分的发挥。泰德：哦，不！你的旧语录让我更加沮丧。Key : T F F T Fl Viewing and speakingReporter:They are, of course, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but when a certain Dr. Livingstone chanced upon them 150 years ago, one can only presume he didnt indulge in this.
