It was then that the dad of two realized his young daughter had a heart that was too big for words.“I run a charity called Extra Life where I play video games to help raise money for kids,” he said. “Ariana happened to be sitting next to me when a video was playing, showing a little girl who was bald(秃头的), lying in a hospital bed with tubes in her.” When their daughter got curious, Smith and his wife Crystal explained how medicine made the child in the video lose her hair.“Without a second thought, Ariana said, She can have some of my hair,” Smith said. “Thats when my wife told me that there are many organizations that we could donate it to.” The Smiths chose”Locks of Love”to send Arianas generous gift to a child with medical hair loss.A week later, Ariana was taken to the family hairdresser（美发师） where 10 inches was cut from her hair.“It was her first haircut,” Smith told ABC News. “She can be so selfless like that.

The study shows that girls bee 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 opinionsThey wont tell that to their parents. Dr Marianm 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 that 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 depressioneating or mood changesand 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 bee weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity （成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects28. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Romance is a double-edged sword for adults.B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.C. Puppy love may bring young people depression.D. Romance is good for young people.29. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.30. 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.31. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. disapproving B. confused C. neutral D.scaredDBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth municatione-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”32.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports. B. Research papers.C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. Theyre socially inactive. B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others. D. Theyre careful with their words.34. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Bergers research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the Times D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The importance of early getting up_36_.First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air.
