1 . Depression(抑郁症)in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.
The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience(抗压能力)and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.
The research included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence(青春期)and were then followed into middle age(up to the age of 58 years). A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed(诊断)with a mental disorder.
The study found that a mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood,the risk of heart attack was 20%higher among men with a diagnosis.
“We already knew that men who were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience,” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking, drinking and other drug use.”
“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease, particularly if people stay fit as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.

I was always a big fan of football, and watching a game at the stadium was obviously one of the best ways to be free from work and relax. Therefore,as soon as I heard the news that there would be a game of our home team against the team from Mississippi, I booked a front-row seat, excited about having a fantastic weekend I was excited when I sat in the stadium.
When the game began, however, I discovered that I was sitting directly in front of a Super-lungs. He seemed like a nice guy. But his idea of having fun at a football game was obviously nothing like mine,or most well-behaved football fans’. He yelled (大喊) non-stop as loud as he could. He yelled at the coaches, the players, the officials and the Mississippi State fans. Always at the top of his lungs.
The Super-lungs made an surprising performance and kept it for us for the entire 90 minutes and never showed any sign of tiredness. He was caught up in his own world so he failed to notice he was ruining (破坏) hundreds of others’ experience of watching the game.
I felt that my ear drums (耳鼓) almost got broken. His mouth was only two feet away from my ears. For a while I thought of shouting back and stopping him yelling. People around were turning to look at him, and I could read their thoughts: “Is he never going to stop?” And he seemed not to see those looks.
At halftime I escaped by walking for a few minutes outside the stadium. I was thinking of finding an empty seat in another part of the stadium. However, to my disappointment, the seats were all taken. I had no choice but to go back to the Super-lungs. When returning to my seat, I missed my steps and fell heavily on the stairs. As I was struggling (挣扎) to stand up, a pair of huge hands helped me from behind.

4 . The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional (职业化的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than £30,000 a year. The stars can earn a lot more. International golf (高尔夫球) and tennis champions (冠军) can make more than £500,000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals (个人), like golf, tennis and motor racing (赛车). Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (做广告) than from sports.As an advertisement for sports equipment doesn’t simply say “Buy our things.” It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sports are no longer just something for people’s spare time.
