A new research of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

1. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

2. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

3. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. Confused. B. Disinterested.

C. Scared. D. Disapproving.

4. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

C. Romance is a two - edged sword for adults.

D. Romance is good for young people.

There is a saying “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” What one individual considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.

The most memorable “beautiful people” are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces. In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slender figures. But Lin was used to getting her way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.

Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have attained (达到) inner peace. They care about their fellow-men, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two well-known personalities who exemplify (以…为典型) this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal right for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa’s mission (使命) is to help the poorest of the world’s poor. This inner look makes the world a better place.

5. When we talk about beauty in people, we often only refer to __________.

A. “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” B. something beyond the lovely sight

C. their attractive appearance D. the other senses

6. According to the passage, why did the author think Sue was more beautiful than Lin?

A. Because Sue had perfect face.

B. Because Sue was highly thought of by others.

C. Because Sue had slender figure.

D. Because Lin treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way.

7. What’s the author’s opinion on beauty?

A. Beauty is a perfect face.

B. Beauty is something that pleases the eyes.

C. Beauty is an attractive personality behind the pretty faces.

D. Inner beauty doesn’t attract people.

How long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.

Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show, the appearance of depth, the third dimension.

But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.

The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.

With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.

12. According to the text, 3-D technology ______

A. was refused by people when it first appeared.

B. will soon change the way we watch TV.

C. does no good to our visual system.

D. has a history of nearly 200 years.

13. Paragraph 2 is mainly ab
