job interview poorly dressed, she wont get the job. lublin says. “ but without a job, she cant afford suitable clothes.so with the money lublin founded dress for success” and began collecting womens clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. so many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again, one of lublins assistants says nancys idea is so simple and yet so important to women.many women come to lublins office before going to a job interview. here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need, since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to dress for success for help. many of them have won jobs. some have round jobs after being out of work for many years. jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired

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 wont 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 depressioneating 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.5. 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.6. 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. 7. whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?a. confused. b. disinterested. c. scared. d. disapproving. 8. whats the main idea of the passage?a. parents should forbid their childrens 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.cat present we will explain a very old saying that has

“rolling stone”a british rock group is said to have taken its name from muddy waters song. the rolling stones performed for the first time in 1962.the groups members called themselves “the worlds greatest rock-and-roll band”in 1965, bob dylan released his song “like a rolling stone”it is one of his best known and most influential works.it is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. but now she is on her own, “with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”.in 1967, a young man named jann wenner started a magazine and he named it “rolling stone”. the magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. by 1971, “rolling stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. it is still
