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.【小题1】 which of the following is more likely to have depression?a. young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.b. careless parents whose children are deep in love.c. young people who have a strong sense of selfishness. d. young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.【小题2】 what can be

young people to grow up more quickly.d. the older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.【小题3】whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?a. scared b. disapproving. c. confused d. disinterested. 【小题4】whats the main idea of the passage?a. .romance is a two edged sword for adults.b. .romance is good for young people.c. parents should forbid their childrens loved.

but what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?scientists have recently tackled these questions. they found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesnt match the feeling that your face shows. _37_ previously, they had found that the tone of a persons voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. for example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “im so excited.” when it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. to test if this was true, psychologists from the netherlands and boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的） faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out （模糊的)that showed anger or fear. _38_ an angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. a scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 39_ a scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend. these results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地） influences which emotion they read. _ 40_and if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.ascientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.bwhen you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that youre happy to see them.c. studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.dthey also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodiesebody language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.fso, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.gan angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.第ii卷（共50分）第二部分：英语知识运用（共一节，满分15分）语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填人一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空jonny：hey! im just practicing tai chi(太极).would you like to join me?peter：i know
