When Leonardo DiCaprio stepped onto the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Actor on February 28, he received a rare standing ovation(鼓掌歡呼).

After five acting nominations and 22 years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination(for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993), the 41-year-old actor finally won his first Oscar for his effort in the film The Revenant, which hit Chinese cinemas on March 18.

DiCaprio’s career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic(1997). However, the film also gave him the name “pretty boy”. People pay more attention to his face than his acting.

DiCaprio has been known as one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood. Instead of winning hearts in romantic films, he chose to work with more challenging productions.

For the role of Hugh Glass, an 1820s fur trapper in The Revenant, DiCaprio wore 47 different prosthetics(特效假體), slept in dead animals, and ate a bison liver. For over half the film, he crawled(爬) on the ground. An article in Life Week wrote, “Compared with DiCaprio’s terrible experience in The Revenant, Robinson Crusoe’s seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation.”

His effort was accepted by the Academy. After he has finally earned the US’ top acting award, DiCaprio is now working harder, turning to different challenges.

1.How many acting nominations did Leonardo DiCaprio win?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

2.In which film did Leonardo DiCaprio win the Oscar for Best Actor?

A. Titanic. B. Robinson Crusoe.

C. The Revenant. D. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. The film was first shown in China on February 28, 2016.

B. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood.

C. Leonardo DiCaprio wants to be a supermodel in the near future.

D. Robinson’s experience is more terrible than DiCaprio’s in The Revenant.

六、任務型閱讀。（共10小題，每小題1分，計10分）

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression (抑郁癥) as young adults.

The researchers used a national long-term survey of healthy young teenagers of about 13-16 to find out the relationship between media (媒體) use and depression. They based their findings on more than 4000 young teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.

As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Here was the result. The young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and more than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2001, more than 7% of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8% increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.

The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.

Doctor Primack says the study did not find out if watching TV causes depression directly. But one possibility, he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and social activities. It might also prevent a person from sleeping well, he says, and that could have an influence.

The study was just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.

In December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, attend social services and to vote.
