smart because she s a student at the best university in China but her plan for success is 43 on the old fashion value of hard work You can see that by the weekly schedule she s set up for herself which was recently posted online Every hour of every day is accounted for There is her classroom 44 of course but then blocks of time are set aside for 45 each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted 分配 each night for sleeping She has set a very 46 almost punishing schedule for herself but it seems to be working Other students 47 at Ma s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success Perhaps not but Ma is obviously a unique and special 48 She has set

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 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 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 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

people depression B Parents should forbid their children s love C Romance is a two edged sword for adults D Romance is good for young people 66 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
