Puppy love 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 romanticrelationship‖, this ―loss of self‖ is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Y oung 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 (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B.

Y oung people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Y oung boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Y oung girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.68. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disapproving.C. Disinterested.D. Scared.(B)File Created Page 1 of 1DELAYED BAGGAGE REPORTPRINTED A T ALBANY N.Y.

The customer’s delayed baggage file reference number.(C)There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing apoem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.This was an age before the telephone. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment (片段).This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought. That brings us to the invention of the cellphone.The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphone’s disruption (中断) of our thoughts.We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is by and large a healthy, protective development. ―I didn’t hear it ring‖ or ―I didn’t realize my phone had shut off‖ are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept —we have ―Do Not Disturb‖ signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the cellphone for a while?The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted.But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished(珍惜). Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse the day they were invented.But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it.In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视) for the rings of our own phones. Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we don’t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.A cellphone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg —who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.72. What is the point of the story about the poet Coleridge?A. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.B. To attract readers’ attention to read his poems.C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.D. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cellphone.73. Why does the writer mention the ―Do Not Disturb‖ sign?A. To encourage us to use the cellphone as much as we can.B. To persuade us not to worry about the ring of the cellphone.C. To inform us that the cellphone is not to be disturbed in our life.D. To ask us to make an apology when we don’t answer the cellphone call.74. What does the underlined word ―it‖ (Paragraph 7) most probably refer to?A. answering a call from afarB. talking to friend next to usC. using the cellphone to chat with friendsD. communicating to keep the long-established friendship75. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Cellphones require more attention than any other invention.B. We sometimes throw the phone away when it is too disturbing.C. The writer would rather continue his own work than be interrupted by the ring.D. We should give priority to the cellphone as it has brought us so much convenience.Section C:A. Y our weight depends on your genes.B. Say ―no‖ to junk food—no exceptions.C. Carbs are good or bad for you.D. Skipping meals helps you lose more weight.E. It is difficult to lose weight.F. Y ou can control where your body loses weight.Dieting is hard work, and there are plenty of ―helpful‖ diet tricks that can make weight loss even harder! Here are some common myths about losing weight and the truth behind them.76.______Carbohydrates are actually an important source of energy. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Refined and processed foods, like white bread or white rice, are examples of bad carbs. Good carbs include whole wheat bread and brown rice. They’re rich in fiber and really good for you!77.______On the contrary, studies show that people who eat breakfast tend to eat fewer calories throughout the day. And if you know you’re going to be eating a big meal later, don’t starve yourself in order to ―save your calories.‖ Y ou’ll just eat more during the meal because you’re so hungry! Instead, eat smaller meals a couple days before and after, and exercise more.78.______Bad news—if you want a flatter stomach, just exercising your abs won’t work. Y ou can’t target where you lose weight. Cardio exercises will help burn fat, while weight training helps build muscles. Y our ―trouble areas‖ might not be the first to slim down, but keep exercising!79.______If you and your family have problems with obesity, you’re not destined to be fat. While a ―fat gene‖ does exist, its influence on your size is actually pretty small. Smart eating and exercise have a much greater impact than your genes. Only 25 percent of your weight is controlled by genes—the rest is up to you!80.______Many people think that the key to losing weight is cutting out all bad foods. But the more restrictive your diet is, the more likely you are to break it—and in a big way. To lose weight and keep it off, eat great 80 percent of the time, but indulge in a treat or two the other 20 percent.Section D :This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: ―an interesting week of poetry‖. This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing—the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This searc h for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informational charts as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, ―We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.‖But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. Why was this class very unusual?82. The experiment was designed to help teachers find out ________.83. The poetry class was different from science and engineering classes in that __________.84. What influence did the experiment had on those professors?第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.Translation1). 众所周知，在大雾中驾车是很危险的。
