For teenagers,is a sense of comfort more commonly found in sports or arts?And how
might this relate to their reported depressive symptoms?A new research published by the
American Psychological Association suggests that teenagers participating in after-school art
activities like music,drama,and painting are more likely to report depressive symptoms than
their non-participating peers.
、This is not to say that depression is a necessary condition for either a teen or an adult to
become an artist,nor are we showing that participating in the arts leads to mental illness,、said
lead author Laura N.Young.MA,of Boston College.、However,previous research has
revealed higher rates of mental illness symptoms in adult artists.We were interested in whether
this association is present earlier in development.、
Interestingly,teens who engaged exclusively in sports and didn't involve themselves in
any other extracurricular activities were reported the least depressive symptoms.The
researchers found no significant difference in depressive symptoms between teens involved in
the arts who also did sports and those who didn't,suggesting that arts participation,rather than
a lack of sports participation,was associated with depression.
The researchers used data from the U.S.Survey of Youth collected from 2,482 students 15
to 16 years old.The survey asked teens about their frequency of participation in arts or sports
activities after school,and their experience of various moods or problems related to depression.
One theory the researchers proposed for the seeming link between the arts and mental
illness symptoms is that people attracted to the arts might possess certain cognitive(
qualities,such as absorbing a higher level of information from their surroundings.This could
lead to general unhappiness and depression,yet also enhance creativity and artistic expression.
The authors suggested that personality qualities linked to depression,like introversion ()
might guide teens towards more individual activities like the arts
、When positive behaviors such as being involved in the arts are associated with symptoms
of mental illness,it's essential that we understand why,、said Young.、Further research can
address the question of whether possible psychological shortcomings can be transformed into
benefits through the practice of the arts、
28.What can we learn from the research findings?
A.Art activities directly lead to teen mental illness.
B.Art participation can be related to teen depression.
C.Sports are likely to increase depression rates in teens.
D.Being depressed is necessary to become an artist later.
29.Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word、exclusively、in Paragraph 3?
A.only
B.rarely
C.regularly
D.diversely
30.What is Paragraph 5 of the text mainly about?
A.The overall framework of the research project.
B.The direct cause of the observed phenomenon.
C.The theoretical basis of the possible connection
D.The methods applied in conducting the research
31.According to Young.what should follow-up researches focus on?
A.How to reduce depressive symptoms through sports.
B.How to identify the positive impacts of the association.
C.How to prove the link between creativity and depression.
D.How to tum potential mental weaknesses into strengths.
D
Have you noticed how the price of online purchases can increase at checkout?This is due
to a strategy called、drip pricing.、coined by American economist Richard Thaler in 1971.Drip
pricing is a strategy where businesses gradually add extra charges to a customer's bill,making
the initially advertised price rise.
This strategy takes advantage of customers'tendency to commit to a purchase when they
see a low original price.As extra fees are added,customers often continue with the purchase
despite the increased cost due to their emotional investment.Businesses,from e-commerce
stores to airlines,use this technique to significantly boost their profits.The initial price of a
product or service can sharply increase with the addition of various costs.For example,a flight
ticket can considerably increase due to the inclusion of extra costs such as baggage fees,
seating options,and access to express lanes.
However,current laws seem inadequate in the face of these practices,resulting in calls for
new regulations and clearer retailer responsibilities.Dr.Jane Doe from the Consumer Behavior
Research Group at the University of Cambridge found that customers'knowledge plays an
effective role.、Our study shows that when customers are informed about drip pricing
techniques,they are less likely to fall for them,ultimately leading to more cost-effective
purchases,、Dr.Doe said.
The success of drip pricing depends on customers not knowing or accepting these extra
costs.An interesting suggestion to fight these practices could be the start of an annual event to
highlight and criticize the worst examples of drip pricing Possible award categories might
include The Biggest Drip,Most Uselessly Named Charge,and the Droplet Award for multiple
extra pricing add-ons.Such an event could strengthen customers and promote openness in
pricing.thereby challenging the success of drip pricing.
As we progress into the era of digital commerce,the need for transparency and faimess in
pricing is becoming increasingly important.Consumer advocates argue that the key to fighting
drip pricing lies not only in stricter laws and regulations from the govemment but also in
equipping consumers with the necessary knowledge and tools.
32.What does the term、drip pricing、refer to?
A.An outdated approach applied in e-commerce pricing.
B.An in-depth study on the continual rise of business prices.
C.A pricing strategy involving added costs to the initial price
D.A cost reduction technique commonly employed in airlines.
33.What drives customers to proceed with a purchase even as costs increase?
A.Fear of losing previous orders.
B.Restrictions from acts and laws.
C.Emotional commitment to the product
D.Unawareness of the additional charges.
34.According to Dr.Jane Doe,how to protect consumers from drip pricing?
A.By enforcing clear new laws.
B.By providing consumer education
C.By promoting cost-effective shopping.
D.By organizing challenging annual events.
35.What can be inferred from paragraphs 4 and 5?
A.Annual events will award successful drip pricing
B.Ignoring drip pricing is an effective way to resist it.
C.Consumer advocates need support from the media.
D.Consumers and authorities should make joint efforts.
