A study of over l0，000 Spaniards followed for almost four and half years on average found that thosewho reported eating a healthy Mediterranean diet at the beginning of the study were about half as likelyto develop depression than those who said they did not stick to the diet.
All of the participants were free of depression when they were recruited to the study，and each filledout a l36-item food frequency questionnaire when they joined.Based on their serf-reported dietary habits，they were assigned a score between o and 9，with the highest score reflecting the closest sticking to aMediterranean diet.

3、Questions are based on the following passage．
I have closely watched my generation, known as The Millennials, for 29 years now． Joel Stein wrote　an extensive piece on Millennials and he remains rather optimistic about our potential．
I hesitate to share his optimism because of a paradox (矛盾的现象) we seem to exhibit, namely, that　there are more avenues for us to entertain ourselves than ever before, yet we are more bored than ever　before．
 Entertainment has never been more varied． We have more cable channels, television shows, and　movies than ever before． Intemet providers allow instant viewing of almost any movie or television　program ever created． Social drinking and partying are also widely available for Millennials． Every　generation develops these habits at a certain age, but Millennials seem to be extending this phase of life　as they postpone marriage．
Some of this is undoubtedly due to The Great Recession． Millennials are having a difficult time　finding jobs; only 47 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds are employed, the smallest share since government　started recording data in 1948．
But do Millennials respond to these economic troubles by doing whatever it takes to make ends　meet? Hardly． In fact, of the four generations Pew Research has data for, the Millennial generation does　not cite work ethic (勤奋工作) as distinctive of itself． Millennials want to save the world, but they sit　and wait for that world-changing opportunity to be handed to them． Instead of working 2-3 jobs,
launching a business, or doing what it takes to succeed, they retreat． Millennials may be the first　generation to have a lower standard of living than their parents, but with this response to adversity (逆境), perhaps deservingly so．
Much ink has been spilled in management books discussing how to get the most out of these　youths in the workplace． Largely, they come to the same conclusion: Millennials are entitled, over-confident, and expect too much too quickly． We should not be surprised． Today's young adults were　raised by parents who made sure to boost their self-esteem at every turn, telling them they could　achieve whatever they set their minds to, and handing out prizes for the sixth place．
 What does the author of the passage think of Millennials?
A．They show little interest in entertainment．
B．They are not confident about their ability．
C．They enjoy an easy life due to high technology．
D．They may not have bright prospects for success．
