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.
From the statements in the passage, we can understand that ____.
A) an avenue to treatment of depression in childhood can be psychotherapy
B) mood disorders are often accompanied by other psychological problems
C) the signs of clinical depression include marked changes in mood
D) instead of expressing their disorders teenagers may choose to engage in risky behaviour
E) the damage of depression is only towards yourself

The idea that American Indians could have built something resembling a city was so foreign to European settlers that when they encountered the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois in Midwest America, they thought they must have been the work of a foreign civilization: either the Phoenicians or the Vikings. Even today the idea of an Indian city runs so contrary to American notions of Indian life that no Anglo-Saxon American can absorb it. The first person to write an account of the Cahokia Mounds, the earliest and finest city built by Indians, was Henry Bracken bridge in 1811.When he reported his discovery, likening it to Egyptian pyramids, newspapers widely ignored it. He complained of this to his friend, former president Thomas Jefferson, and the word of 'Cahokia' did eventually get around. Unfortunately, most Americans were not very interested. The United States was trying to get the Indians out of the way, not appreciate their history. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 which ordered the relocation of eastern Indians to lands west of the Mississippi was based on the assumption that Indians were nomadic savages with no ability to make good use of land. Evidence of an ancient city, close to the size of Washington, D.C. at that time, would have spoiled the story line.
In the passage, the fact that the descendants of the European settlers cannot come to terms with the accomplishments of the American Indians shows that —.
A) they have had a fixed, predetermined and prejudiced attitude towards the American Indians
B) the Anglo-Saxon approach to the Indians is complex and unbiased in nature
C) people living in Midwestern America think in a way that resembles those of Europeans
D) no civilization other than the Phoenicians and the Vikings could construct big cities like Cahokia

A) most governments would have invested in them
B) the production of coal had to be reduced
C) a lot of firms might have been expected to contribute generously

History is one of the few school subjects commonly mandated in education systems throughout the world. Furthermore, the use of historytextbooks to support student learning is an almost universally accepted practice. However, the widespread international presence of the humblehistory textbook should not disguise its ideological and cultural potency. Indeed, essential to understanding the power and importance of historytextbooks is to appreciate that in any given culture they typically exist as the keepers of ideas, values and knowledge. No matter how neutralhistory textbooks may appear, they are ideologically important, because they often seek to inject the youth with a shared set of values, national ethos and an incontrovertible sense of political orthodoxy. Textbooks stand as cultural artefacts that embody a range of issues associated with ideology, politics and values which in themselves function at a variety of different levels of power, status and influence. Embedded in historytextbooks are narratives and stories that nation states choose to tell about themselves and their relations with other nations. Typically, they represent a core of cultural knowledge which future generations are expected both to assimilate and support.
43.According to the passage, regardless of how impartially they are written, history textbooks ----.
A) need to teach both the past and the future
B) serve a purpose other than intended
C) are the best options for cultural transmission
D) affect ideologically the youth more than adults
E) can never be completely objective and neutral

Peeling back both space and time, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have found that the strange force known as dark energy appears to have existed for at least the past two-thirds of the universe's history. Dark energy is a mysterious repulsive force that opposes gravity, causing the universe to expand. Albert Einstein posited that a form of the force existed nearly a century ago by, but it was not discovered until 1998.
