The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage Men bands instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn (号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error (反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”Lastyear,theGarbage-Menplayedatlocalevents,includingfestivals,farmersmarkets.Typically, the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles and crowd favourite “Wipe Out”.

The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “Its a good, sustainable-development(持续发展的) charity,”Jacksays,“Bydonatingoneanimal, you help the whole community.”The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week.

The weekly calendar (日历) was invented in the West. In ancient China, there were no such things as weekends. But people did take days off in the past.For example, during the Han Dynasty, officials (官员) took one day off every five days. When it came to Tang Dynasty, officials had to work for ten days before they could rest for one day. But this was still reasonable, because officials at the time shared their work together. They also enjoyed public holidays for Chinese New Year and the inter solstice (冬至), with both holidays lasting for seven days.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, officials had to work all year long, except for public holidays, including a full month at the end of the year to celebrate Spring Festival. They also took seven days off on the kings birthday. On the Mid-Autumn and Dragon Boat festivals, they could rest for one day as well.As people like businessmen and farmers, they usually worked most of the year. But even the poor workers would take a few days off during Spring Festival. There were also days on which people of all walks of life offered food to the spirits. For example, farmers would give offerings to tudigong twice a year. People usually took one day off for this.35 .

They based their findings on more than 4,000 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 were 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.Process of the studyDetailsThe 84 . of the researchTo find out the 85 . between media use and depression.At the 86 . of the researchA survey was made among over 4,000 young people who were not depressed.The result of the surveyThese young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and they spent over 2 hours of that watching TV.Seven years laterResearchers found more than 7% of the young people had a sign of depression.
