And the word television means seeing far. Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working it took another thirty years for TV to bee an industry. The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get closeup views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in blackand white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national works were broadcasting most of their programs in color. The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first munications satellite, more and more programs are telecast live from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now e from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic moon walk to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth. 56.

He is sure that he is alone and hopeless. He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortings which he exaggerates. He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future. He bees less interested in what is going on around him and doesn39。t get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite mon. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and mon. Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide. So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness. Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide. But the relationship is striking. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed. Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to mit suicide than is the nondepressed person. The greatest risk occurs during or immediately after hospitalization. After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very 11 depressed person. Almost twice as many women as men suffer from depressive illness. Almost twice as many women as men attempt suicide, but three times more men than women succeed. 61.

While the youth stood on the landingplace searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger39。s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs。 his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a threecornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad39。s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was pleted by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hun
