Rising rates of depression(抑郁症)among American teenagers and young adults have led to a major question: Could the same devices being blamed for causing depression be used to find it?

Studies have linked heavy smartphone use with worsening teen mental health.But as teens spend time on sites, they also leave digital paths that may offer signs about their mental health.

Researchers are testing smartphone apps that use artificial intelligence,or AI,to predict depression.But there are still issues to address,including privacy(隐私)issues and making sure children give permission to be closely followed.

App developers say that effective,widely available depression-detecting(检测)apps may arrive https://www.360docs.net/doc/fb5751925.html,ing smartphones as mental health detectors would require permission from users to download an app.They could take back their permission at any time,

If smartphones can become effective predictors,app developers say the goal might be to offer digital messages to parents or doctors.

At the University of California,Los Angeles,researchers are offering an experimental phone app to students who show signs of minor depression.Alyssa Lizarraga,who is19,is among those being studied.She has had depression since high school.Lizarraga has worried about her heavy use of smartphones and social media.She said comparing herself with others online sometimes causes her sadness.But she believes using smartphones to identify mental health problems might help push people to seek early treatment.

At the University of Illinois'Chicago campus,researchers are testing their experimental phone app.Anyone can download the free app,and nearly2,000students have so far.All agreed to let the researchers follow things such as their typing behaviors.The study is for people18and up,but it could also be used for children if successful.

Along with studies at universities,technology companies such as Mindstrong and Verily—the tech health division of Google—are testing their own experimental apps.

28.How can we know about teen's mental health through smartphone?

A.By checking the sites they've surfed.

B.By checking teens'signs of depression.

A severe drought(干旱)that has caused water levels in Southeast Asia's Mekong River to drop to their lowest in more than100years could have devastating(毁灭性的)consequences for fish,as well as the tens of millions of people living and working along the river,experts warn.

This year,the dry conditions in the Mekong region persisted(持续)due to warm Pacific Ocean currents(洋流)known as the EI Nino effect.But climate change is also a driving factor,experts say,causing the rainy season to shorten considerably.The situation was made worse by hydropower(水利发电)dam operators upstream,in China and Laos,withholding water for their own purposes.

Many rice farmers in the region have been unable to plant their main crop,raising fears'of a heavily diminished harvest this fall.Less water flow could also have a devastating impact on fish reproduction in the Mekong River basin.Perhaps even more alarming,experts expect that droughts and disruptions(中断)to the water flow of the Mekong will become more common,and they warn that it could eventually lead to the ruin of the entire ecosystem.

species such as the Mekong giant catfish,that are swept into the Tonle Sap Lake and other floodplains where they can mature.

32.What is true about the Mekong River?

How to be patient

Have you ever been stuck in a long lunch line,or struggled with a difficult project at school?If so,you have probably felt impatience,too.Impatience is a natural reaction in situations where things aren't going your way.

36Practicing these strategies(策略)will help you feel calmer and happier even in frustrating situations.

Notice your thoughts and physical feelings.The next time you are getting impatient,take a moment to notice the thoughts you are having and how your body feels.Maybe you start to have thoughts like,“This is taking forever,”or feel your hands clenching or your breaths getting shorter.37Sometimes people also experience anger.

38Take small,simple actions to distract yourself.It can be something as simple as holding your phone or moving it from one pocket to another.Focusing on the physical feeling of the act will distract you and give you a moment to regroup.

Take deep breaths.Close your eyes and breathe deeply,holding in your breath for a moment before letting the air out slowly.Deep breathing will calm your body and soothe your impatient thoughts.39This can prevent

you from reacting to your frustrated feelings in a way you may later regret.

Shift your outlook.40Instead,concentrate on something that you can change:your outlook.You can try to find something positive in the situation you are facing.This can be hard at first,but pushing yourself to focus on the positive will make you feel better in the long run.

A.Interrupt the impatience.

B.Create a personal strategy.

C.It will also force you to pause for a moment.

D.These are the physical and mental signs of impatience.

E.Controlling what you think and how you feel is not easy.

F.Most situations that make you feel impatient cannot easily be changed.

G.However,you can learn ways to control and quiet your impatient feelings.

Dear Jim,

I'm happy to receive your letter and know you're coming to China.I'm writing to you to give you some advice.

Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai，both are highly recommended.Personally,I prefer the tour along the Yangtze River,the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilization,you can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people.Moreover,the scenery along the river is amazing,with many

well-known sightseeing spots.That's why I think the trip along the Yangtze River is a better choice

I hope you'll have a good time in China and my advice will benefit you.

Yours,

Li Hua
