In my living rm, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me t “Blm where yu are planted.” It reminds me f Drthy. I gt t knw Drthy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhd Develpment thrugh a prgram with Unin Cllege in Barburville, Kentucky. The jb respnsibilities required ccasinal visits t the classrm f each teacher in the prgram. Drthy stands ut in my memry as ne wh “blmed” in her remte area.
Drthy taught in a schl in Harlan Cunty, Kentucky, Appalachian Muntain area. T get t her schl frm the twn f Harlan, I fllwed a rad winding arund the muntain. In the eight-mile jurney, I crssed the same railrad track five times, giving the pssibility f getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive thrugh the muntains, I fund it depressing. The pverty level was shcking and the small shabby huses gave me the greatest feeling f hpelessness.
Frm the mment f my arrival at the little schl, all glm (忧郁) disappeared. Upn arriving at Drthy’s classrm, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared t shw me their latest prjects. Drthy tld me with a big smile that they were serving pke greens salad and crnbread fr “dinner” (lunch). In case yu dn’t knw, pke greens are a weed-type plant that grws wild, especially n pr grund.
Drthy never ran ut f reprts f exciting activities f her students. Her enthusiasm never cled dwn. When it came time t sit fr the testing and interviewing required t receive he Child Develpment Assciate Certificatin, Drthy was ready. She came t the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me t the ne-and-nly steak huse in the area celebrate her victry, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little bx cntaining an ld pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirlm (传家宝), but t me it a treasured symbl f appreciatin and pride that cannt be matched with things.

Peple cnsistently underestimate hw much thers in their scial circle might appreciate an unexpected phne call, text r email just t say hell, and the mre surprising the cnnectin, the greater the appreciatin, accrding t a new study.
In the study, researchers frm the University f Pittsburgh cnducted sme experiments invlving mre than 5, 900 participants. In ne experiment, half f the participants were asked t recall the last time they reached ut t smene in their scial circle after a prlnged (长期的) perid f nt interacting with them. The rest were asked t recall a similar situatin where smene reached ut t them. Participants were then asked t indicate n a 7-pint scale hw much either they r the persn they reached ut t appreciated. Peple wh recalled reaching ut thught the gesture was significantly less appreciated than thse wh recalled receiving a cmmunicatin.
In ther experiments, participants sent a shrt nte, r a small gift, t smene in their scial circle with whm they had nt interacted in a while. Similar t the previus experiment, participants wh initiated (发起) cntact were asked t rate n a 7-pint scale the extent t which they thught the recipient wuld appreciate r feel grateful fr the cntact. After the ntes r gifts were sent, researchers als asked the recipients t rate their appreciatin.
Acrss all experiments, thse wh initiated the cmmunicatin significantly underestimated the extent t which recipients wuld appreciate the act f reaching ut. Besides, the researchers fund that peple receiving the cmmunicatin placed greater fcus than thse initiating the cmmunicatin n the surprise element, and this heightened fcus n surprise was assciated with higher appreciatin. “We als fund that peple underestimated thers’ appreciatin t a greater extent when the cmmunicatin was mre surprising, as ppsed t part f a regular cmmunicatin pattern, r the scial ties between the tw participants were weak,” added lead authr Peggy Liu.
Initiating scial cntact after a prlnged perid f discnnectin can be daunting because peple wrry abut hw such a gesture might be received. But these findings suggest that their hesitatins may be unnecessary, as thers are likely t appreciate being reached ut t mre than peple think.
8. Hw did the researchers cnduct the experiments?
A. By listing arguments.B. By giving examples.
C. By making assumptins.D. By making cmparisns.
9. Accrding t paragraph 3, what were the participants asked t d?

C. One cnnected quite unexpectedly.
D. One making regular cntacts with thers.
11. What des the underlined wrd “daunting” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Unbearable.B. Discuraging.C. Illgical.D. Immral.

Research shws that when scial media use is high, depressin is als high. But the questin is — is that because scial media causes that persn t be depressed? Or is it because peple wh are depressed tend t als use scial media mre, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted t understand,” says Carl Vidal, the first authr f the study, a child and adlescent psychiatrist at Jhns Hpkins Children’s Center.
In their study, 376 yung adults in Canada were asked t cmplete three nline questinnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each pint, participants self-reprted depressive symptms based n the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is cmmnly used t measure depressin — as well as scial media use, green space expsure, and physical activity.
Researchers fund that participants wh had higher scial media use tended t be mre depressed, and peple wh were mre depressed als tended t use scial media mre. Hwever, researchers fund that scial media use did nt cause an increase r decrease in depressive symptm levels ver time.
Researchers als fund that higher levels f scial media use and higher levels f depressive symptms were assciated with lwer levels f green space expsure. In additin, higher eveningness was als assciated with higher depressive symptm levels.
One study authr says these results shw scial media use and depressin are assciated, but d nt prvide evidence that greater scial media use predicts an increase in depressive symptms ver time. Other prfessinals in the team als say these findings indicate peple wh suffer frm depressin shuld be careful abut the amunt f time they spend n scial media and shuld be encuraged t integrate ther healthy habits int their lifestyle.
Vidal and ther investigatrs believe there are many aspects t scial media, and there are imprtant next steps t learn mre abut its impact n the mental health f peple f all ages, including yunger children and adlescents.
