HealthBA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love canmake adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy Iove（早恋）may bring stress foryoung people and can lead to depression（忧郁症）.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 in a rom“anloticsethemselvesrelationship ”, this “loss of self ” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girlswho have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. Theywon't tell that to their parents.Dr. Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young peoplewill 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 foryoung people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encouragetheir 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 daughter or son, 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.6 What ' s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B.

Developers would drain them with ditches （水沟），，ill them in with tons of soil , and build houses, schools ,and parking areas on them. Then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands played in the environment.Wetlands act like giant sponges （海绵）during storms. They soak up extra storm water and afterward release it slowly back into the water cycle. This helps preve nt floodi ng. Towns where people have drained wetlands have found that in a big storm , their streets and homes are often floodedbecause there are no wetla nds to soak up the excess water.Wetlands also act as giant filters where pollutants are absorbed and dissolved over time. Though wetlands can become polluted from dumping , wastewater, and fertilizer runoff from farm fields, they are able to process some pollutants over time because of all the microorganisms and pla nts livi ng there.Wetlands are especially important for providing homes and breeding grounds to millions of birds, fish , and amphibia ns worldwide. Many wetla nds have become n ati onal wildlife refuges （避难所）, where you can go to take pictures and look at birds and animals.The Everglades are a huge wetla nd that once covered more tha n four millio n acres of souther n Florida. Sometimes called the “ river, oftheaEserglades are a shallow sheet of water that slowly flowed across a grassy plain. In the late 1800s people began draining parts of the Everglades for developme nt. Roads were built and tow ns spra ng up. The Everglades shrank to half its original size. Cities like Miami grew up where once there was a thriving wetland. Sewage and waste from the cities were pumped into the remaining wetlands. Over time scientists began to see the importance of the Everglades. Even with its smaller size , the Everglades filtered the pollutants coming from the cities , absorbing the worst of it like a sewage treatment plant. During storms the Everglades protected the cities from storm surge floodi ng. They also are just a great place to visit and see wildlife.11. Why can wetla nds be compared to gia nt spon ges?A.
