ManyAmericans suffer from the condition. But, many also are trying to help people with depression. They are finding waysto bring attention to depression and ways to treat it.For example, thousands of people take part in what are called “Out of the Darkness Walks.” 38 They alsohope to raise money for suicide prevention efforts and research into depression.Steve Iselin served in the Navy for 20 years. After his retirement, he began to look for another job. That is whenhe began feeling hopeless. He said,“I had a great sense of dread every day. Agony is another word that comes to mind.I didn’t want to do anything that I would normally like to do. I had no interest in seeing other people.” Steve Iselin didfind a job. But he left after one week because he told himself he could not do the work. Everything he did seemed verydifficult. Decisions were painful, even having to choose what he would wear that day or what to eat. Mr. Iselin wassuffering from depression.Bob Gebbia heads the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He says being depressed is very differentfrom being sad or having a bad day. He says that about 20 million people are found to have clinical depression in theUnited States every year. 39 He notes that some people are more likely than others to get depressed. “Let’s sayyou lose your job, divorce, or, you know, a loss of someone.”After Robin Williams’ death, the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide released a statement.The foundation said Mr. Williams: “brought laughter into every life he touched; Robin also suffered fromdepression. 40 Every 13 minutes someone dies from suicide, and it is among the top ten causes of death in theU.S.” The group said more needs to be done to prevent suicides. It called for greater attention to mental health issues,warning signs, and effective forms of intervention and treatment.Steve Iselin was lucky. His wife recognized the signs of depression. She helped him get the expert care heneeded. But he says that was not true of his brother’s son. Mr. Iselin says his nephew became depressed a few yearslater and killed himself. A year after his nephew’s death, Mr. Iselin visited his brother in San Francisco and heardabout the “Out of the Darkness Walks.” The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention organized the event. Bothmen took part. 41 Since then, Steve Iselin has volunteered with the American Foundation for SuicidePrevention, taking part in many community walks.

A rising sophomore at Duke, Mr. Jia attends one of thetop universities in the country, setting him up for success.With his high G.P.A., nearly perfect SAT score and activities — debate team, tennis captain and state orchestra —Mr. Jia believes he should have had a fair shot at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania.However, those Ivy League colleges rejected him after he applied in the fall of 2015.It was particularly disturbing, Mr. Jia said, when classmates with lower scores than his — but who were notAsian-American, like him — were admitted to those Ivy League institutions.“My gut reaction was that I was super disillusioned by how the whole system was set up,” Mr. Jia, said.Students like Mr. Jia are now the subject of a lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating againstAsian-Americans in admissions by imposing a penalty for their high achievement and giving preferences to other racialminorities.

Climate has changed when the planetreceived more or less sunlight due to subtle shifts in its orbit, as the atmosphere or surface changed, or when the Sun’senergy varied.Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past centuryprimarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. The global average surface temperature rose0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.1 to 1.6°F) between 1906 and 2005, and the rate of temperature increase has nearlydoubled in the last 50 years. Temperatures are certain to go up further.Earth’s temperature begins with the Sun. Roughly 30 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space bybright surfaces like clouds and ice. Of the remaining 70 percent, most is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the rest isabsorbed by the atmosphere. The absorbed solar energy heats our planet. As the rocks, the air, and the seas warm, theyradiate “heat” energy (thermal infrared radiation). From the surface, this energy travels into the atmosphere wheremuch of it is absorbed by water vapor and long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Whenthey absorb the energy radiating from Earth’s surface, microscopic water or greenhouse gas molecules turn into tinyheaters— like the bricks in a fireplace, they radiate heat even after the fire goes out. They radiate in all directions. Theenergy that radiates back toward Earth heats both the lower atmosphere and the surface, enhancing the heating they getfrom direct sunlight. This absorption and radiation of heat by the atmosphere—the natural greenhouse effect—isbeneficial for life on Earth. If there were no greenhouse effect, the Earth’s average surface temperature would be a verychilly -18°C (0°F) instead of the comfortable 15°C (59°F) that it is today.What has scientists concerned now is that over the past 250 years, humans have been artificially raising theconcentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate, mostly by burning fossil fuels, but alsofrom cutting down carbon-absorbing forests. Since the Industrial Revolution began in about 1750, carbon dioxidelevels have increased nearly 38 percent as of 2009 and methane levels have increased 148 percent. The atmospheretoday contains more greenhouse gas molecules, so more of the infrared energy emitted by the surface ends up beingabsorbed by the atmosphere. Since some of the extra energy from a warmer atmosphere radiates back down to thesurface, Earth’s surface temperature rises.

(A)But there were exceptions. (B)Cases can vary. (C)It could be even worse. (D)No remedy can cure him.請依下文回答第46 題至第50 題：Those who doubt the power of human beings to change Earth’s climate should look to the Arctic, and shiver.There is no need to pore over records of temperatures and atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations. The process isstarkly visible in the shrinkage of the ice that covers the Arctic ocean. In the past 30 years, the minimum coverage ofsummer ice has fallen by half; its volume has fallen by three-quarters. On current trends, the Arctic ocean will belargely ice-free in summer by 2040.Climate-change sceptics will shrug. Some may even celebrate: an ice-free Arctic ocean promises a shortcut forshipping between the Pacific coast of Asia and the Atlantic coasts of Europe and the Americas, and the possibility ofprospecting for perhaps a fifth of the planet’s undiscovered supplies of oil and natural gas. Such reactions areprofoundly misguided. Never mind that the low price of oil and gas means searching for them in the Arctic is no longerworthwhile. Or that the much-vaunted sea passages are likely to carry only a trickle of trade. The right response is fear.The Arctic is not merely a bellwether of matters climatic, but an actor in them.The current period of global warming that Earth is undergoing is caused by certain gases in the atmosphere,notably carbon dioxide. These admit heat, in the form of sunlight, but block its radiation back into space, in the form oflonger-wave-length infra-red. That traps heat in the air, the water and the land. More carbon dioxide equals morewarming--a simple equation. Except it is not simple. A number of feedback loops complicate matters. Some dampenwarming down; some speed it up. Two in the Arctic may speed it up quite a lot.One is that seawater is much darker than ice. It absorbs heat rather than reflecting it back into space. That meltsmore ice, which leaves more seawater exposed, which melts more ice. And so on. This helps explain why the Arctic iswarming faster than the rest of the planet. The deal on climate change made in Paris in 2015 is meant to stop Earth’ssurface temperature rising by more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. In the unlikely event that it is fullyimplemented, winter temperatures over the Arctic ocean will still warm by between 5°C and 9°C compared with their1986-2005 average.The second feedback loop concerns not the water but the land. In the Arctic much of this is permafrost. Thatfrozen soil locks up a lot of organic material. If the permafrost melts its organic contents can escape as a result of fireor decay, in the form of carbon dioxide or methane (which is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2). This will speedup global warming directly--and the soot from the fires, when it settles on the ice, will darken it and thus speed itsmelting still more.
