“My I get you something ?”

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal 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 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 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 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 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.

58. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Puppy love may bring young 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.

59. 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.

60. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

D. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

61. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. Confused. B. Disapproving. C. Disinterested. D. Scared.

D

The nuclear leak (核泄漏) at the Fukushima power plant in Japan, which followed the deadly earthquake two weeks ago, has caused an unexpected reaction in China.

A sudden panic buying of salt occurred in many areas of our country about a week after the disaster. Salt in these districts was almost bought up overnight. Some sellers wanted to make a fortune by raising the price. The panic buying was caused by two major rumors on the Internet: First, iodized (含碘的) salt can protect against radiation. Second, there might be a fall in sea-salt production following the nuclear pollution of the ocean. Such fears are not new. The same kind of panic happened with vinegar during the SARS outbreak and garlic in the time of the influenza period.

How can rumors like this spread in such a large country as China? Chen Fang, a reporter with the China Youth Daily said that many Internet users say there is a “crisis of trust” in today’s China. “Experts don’t have enough credibility and people don’t trust all government announcements, either.” Chen said.

However, Chen added that the rumors should not be exaggerated (夸大). Many salt-buyers didn’t care; others simply failed to understand what experts and governments were talking about. They just did as their neighbors and friends did. It was a case of the blind following the blind – that was the real reason behind the big increase in the demand for salt.

On March 20, the Ministry of Commerce said: “The panic buying of salt has stopped and the market is back to normal.” He also said China has enough salt to satisfy demand.

Now everything is back to normal, many want to return the salt they bought. But in the view of the Xinhua Daily Telegraph, “It is true that these people paid extra money to buy the salt, but they created the crisis in the first place and caused the price to rise.” The newspaper continued: “So there is no reason why they should get the money back.”

Perhaps consumers should keep the salt to remind themselves that often rumors are without foundation.

62. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Crisis of trust B. Leak causes panic

C. A funny rumor D. The blind following the blind

63 Which is NOT the reason for which many people buy up iodized salt?

A. People are too ready to believe rumors.B. People are afraid of a sea-salt shortage.

C. People find it a chance to make a fortune.

D. People think it protective to fight against radiation.

64 What is the Xinhua Daily Telegraph’s attitude towards the salt-buyers?

A. They should have only themselves to blame. B. They should be punished for their activity.

C. They should trust experts and governments.

D. They should return the salt and get the money back.

65. What is the tone of the writing?

A. Considerate. B. Persuasive. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

第二节 下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余项。

A. Work out the Difficulties When Listening

B. Be Attentive to Your teacher

C. Listen with an Open Mind

D. Bring the Class under Control

Be a Good Listener in Class

It is important for you to be a good listener in class. Much of what you will have to learn will be presented verbally by your teacher. Just hearing what your teachers say is not the same as listening to what they say. Here are some things what you should do to be a good listener in class.

66.______________

Make sure you completed all the assigned work and readings. Review your notes from previous class sessions. Think about what you know about the topic that will be covered in class that day. Your attitude is important. Make a conscious choice to find the topic useful and interesting. Be committed(尽心尽力的) to learning all that you can.

67._______________

Be receptive to what your teacher says. It is good to you as long as you remain open to points of view. Identify what you expect and hope to learn from the class session. Listen to these things as your teacher talks.

68.______________

Pay attention to what your teacher is saying. Try not to daydream and let your mind wander to other things. It helps to sit in the front and center of the class and to maintain eye contact with your teacher. Usually , what the teacher says in class is very important for your study, and it also helps a lot when you take an exam.

69._____________

You can think fast than your teacher when he is speaking. Use this to your advantage by evaluating what is being said and trying to forecast what will be said next. Take good notes about what your teacher says. Taking notes requires you to make decisions about what to write, and you have to be an active listener to do this.

70.___________

Don’t give up and stop listening when you find the information being presented difficult to understand. Listen even more carefully at these times and work hard to understand what is being said. Don’t be unwilling to ask questions.
