“The temperature of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface is warmed through a natural process called the greenhouse effect. Visible, shortwave light comes from the sun to the earth, passing unimpeded through a blanket of thermal, or
greenhouse, gases composed largely of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Infrared radiation reflects off the planet’s surface toward space but does not easily pass through the thermal blanket. Some of it is trapped and reflected downward, keeping the planet at an average temperature suitable to life, about 16 centigrade. Growth industry, agriculture, and transportation since the Industrial Revolution has produced additional quantities of the natural greenhouse gases plus chloro-fluorocarbons and other gases, augmenting the thermal blanket and this has caused what we call global warming today.”

White Castle opened its doors in 1921, and the franchise set out to make a better name for the hamburger in a time when the ground meat patty had a bad name in popular culture. Ahead of its time, White Castle also allowed people to see their food being made, a first at the time. Franchising was introduced the same year when A&W Root Beer franchised its popular syrup. Combining these factors with Howard Johnson franchising its first restaurant in the 1930s, the stage was set for the takeoff of the industry. McDonald's opened its doors in 1948, instilling the first assembly-line-style restaurant, and from there, the fast food industry grew steadily for decades.Burger King and Taco Bell opened their doors in the 1950s, and Wendy's followed in 1969. Drive-through windows took off at fast food chains with the advent of speaker systems in the 1950s. By 2005, the fast food industry had sales totalling over $163.5 billion worldwide. McDonald's, as of 2014, has over 30, 000 franchised restaurants in 120 countries.With its success, the fast food industry has come under much scrutiny for selling unhealthy foods, marketing extensively and aggressively to children, and undermining local cultures and values in different parts of the world.

By analyzing depression, we find that depression is a disease that afflicts the human psyche in such a way that the afflicted tends to act and react abnormally toward others and himself. Adolescence is a time of emotional turmoil, mood swings, gloomy thoughts, and heightened sensitivity. It is a time of rebellion and experimentation .Therefore it comes to no surprise to discover that adolescent depression is strongly linked to teen suicide. Adolescent suicide is now responsible for more deaths in youths aged 15 to 19 than cardiovascular disease or cancer (Blackman, 1995). Despite this increased suicide rate, depression in this age group is greatly under diagnosed and leads to serious difficulties in school, work and personal adjustment which may often continue into adulthood. Brown (1996) has said the reason why depression is often over looked in children and adolescents is because children are not always able to express how they feel. Sometimes the symptoms of mood disorders take on different forms in children than in adults.
The point made in the passage that ____.
A) everybody tends to think of depression as an illness of adulthood
B) the high suicide rate that is basically a result of depression
C) disorders in children are included in the category of diagnosed psychiatric illnesses
D) the majority of the cases of adolescent depression are mild
