    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（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 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 friendship 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.
    41. 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.
    42. Which of the following are more likely to have depression?
    A. Young people who have a strong sense of self.
    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.
    43. 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.
    44. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
    A. Confused.                                            B. Disapproving.
    C. Uninterested.                                    D. Scared.
    45. Dr. Marianm Kaufman does NOT suggest parents’ encouraging their kids to ______.
    A. keep close to their friends
    B. attend more interesting activities
    C. chat more on line
    D. spend more time with their family

    Winter depression (or winter blues) is a common affliction (折磨) for those who live in our northern climate. Its clinical name is seasonal affective disorder (or SAD) and up to 5% of the population (especially in northern states) may suffer from it. Seasonal affective disorder is characterized by feelings of sadness and depression that occur in the winter months when the temperatures drop and the days grow short . The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain. Women are twice to three times more likely to suffer from the winter blues than men.
    There are many effective treatments for winter depression, some of which you can do to help yourself. Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many. Any time that you have the opportunity to gain access to more sunlight in the winter months, you should try to do so. Taking walks throughout the day (even if you don’t normally do so), sitting next to a south-facing window at your office, in a classroom, or at home will increase your sunlight exposure. Exercising next to a window or outdoors (when possible) is another activity that can help.
    Although it may be difficult to do, maintaining your schedule and lifestyle will help to keep the depression at bay. A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to maintain. It may be helpful, for instance, to have your bedroom lights on a timer to turn on a half-hour before you wake. This may help in waking at a regular time every morning, when it is still dark outside in the winter months.
    Light therapy has shown to be an effective treatment for seasonal affective disorder. While you can purchase expensive, specialized light therapy lighting fixtures for your home or office, some inexpensive alternatives are also available. Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs in your home with brighter full spectrum (also known as broad spectrum) light bulbs. While more expensive than regular light bulbs, these bulbs provide light that is similar to natural sunlight.
    If none of these techniques seem to help your depressive symptoms, you should consider consulting your family physician or a mental health professional. The winter blues are a form of depression and can be readily treated w ith medications or psychotherapy when other self-help methods aren’t effective. Don’t be afraid to talk about this condition with a professional; it’s nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. With a little effort, the winter blues can be beaten

    People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Our diets can also show our personalities because we might choose certain food to tell people something about us.
    For example, some people mainly enjoy high quality food, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants – never in cafeterias or bars. They know about the “better things in life”.
    Some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet. Their personalities might be similar too. For instance, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly against the war.
    Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.
    Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign（星座）have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. Sagittarius (November 22 to December.22) like traditional food from many different countries.
    What is your food personality?
    小题1:Why do some people mainly eat high quality food?
    A．They want to show off their wealth.B．Food can show off their social position.
    C．They want to enjoy better things in life.D．They are wiser than any other persons.
    小题2:A vegetarian may be a person________.
    A．who is believed to be a peace – loverB．who values the importance of success
    C．who cares little about the future of the worldD．who shows his power to make money

    Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure(血压) under control, research suggests．Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs．
    The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body．
    Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg．They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks．
    Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said:“The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected ．The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs．The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat．They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods．”
    The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005．However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies．
    小题1:From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are         ．
    A．a kind of medicineB．a kind of protein
    C．a kind of illnessD．a kind of food
    小题2:According to what Professor Brcue said, eggs        ．
    A．are the most nutritious food．
    B．have no effect on blood cholesterol
    C．can be included in a healthy diet
    D．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
    小题3:We can infer from the text that           ．
    A．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
    B．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
    C．most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
    D．about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
    小题4:The text is meant         ．
    A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs
    B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs
    C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
    D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

    Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.
    　　Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.
    　　Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.
    　　Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side."
    　　The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.
    　　People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.
    　　Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.
    　　Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs.
    　　“Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. "That makes a frequent change in moonlighting."
    　　As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.
    　　Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance.
    　　"The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you' re burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."
    　　Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.
    　　Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job.
    　　"It' s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."
    60. What is the article mainly about?
    　　A. The ways of moonlighting.
    　　B. The reasons for moonlighting.
    　　C. The problems with moonlighting.
    　　D. The kinds of people who moonlight.
    61. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.
    　　A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job
    　　B. he needed to make ends meet with more money
    　　C. he feared he would lose his present job one day
    　　D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer
    62. Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________.
    　　A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for them
    　　B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work
    　　C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs
    　　D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time
    63. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraph means _________.
    　　A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don' t enjoy
    　　B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money
    　　C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills
    D. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different

    C
    Patients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing (治疗) power of humor. It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods, but can actually help them recover faster.
    Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have higher immune cell counts. Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.
    Despite all this, many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.
    Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.
    There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person’s health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe (额叶).
    Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis (综合) of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage, however, responded only to slapstick (闹剧) endings, which did not depend on a particular context. When pressed, the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings. They simply did not find them funny.
    Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lamebrain. However, you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.
    63. We can infer from the passage that ________.
    A. all researchers have agreed on the healing power of humor
    B. people seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokes
    C. the author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humor
    D. reading comics will surely become a popular way of treating diseases
    64. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.
    B. Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts.
    C. Optimism in general does seem to be related to better health.
    D. People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.
    65. Scientists had some people read jokes and asked them to choose the funniest endings from a list to confirm that ________.
    A. the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brains
    B. a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endings
    C. a person suffering certain brain damage doesn’t appreciate a good joke
    D. humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins
    66. Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Which comes first, humor or health?             B. Humor can cure different illnesses
    C. People need humor in times of stress        D. Humor contributes to good health

    A study published Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it’s time to find out if more sleep will fight fatness.
    “We’ve put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep,” said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University.
    Monday’s study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index - a measure of weight based on height - increased.
    Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and fat patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights.
    “Americans experience insufficient sleep and fat bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of fatness on patients,” the study said.
    “Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index,” it added.
    “We caution that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and fatness (but) investigations indicating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to set up such a relationship.”
    The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research.
    In an interview, Turek said some studies have shown sleep causes declines in an appetite suppressing protein hormone, and increases in another hormone that causes a longing for food. In addition neuropathies（神经疗法）in the brain governing sleep and fatness appear to overlap（重叠）, he said.
    Patness has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic（流行病） levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health problems.
    66. What’s the passage mainly about?
    A. People who sleep less tend to get fat.
    B. Fat people need lots of sleep to lose weight.
    C. Sleeping has nothing to do with fatness.
    D. Fatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries.
    67. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A. Lack of sleep causes declines in a desire limiting protein hormone.
    B. Americans experience sufficient sleep and fat bodies.
    C. The findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may be necessary.
    D. Fatness has been rising dramatically in America.
    68. Which of the following is NOT close to the underlined word suppress?
    A. limit          B. restrict       C. accept         D. control
    69. According to the passage, which of the following people is the lowest possible one to get fatness?
    A. Americans      B. Chinese        C. Japanese       D. English
    70. We can conclude the attitude of the author is           according to the passage.
    A. worried        B. uninterested   C. critical       D. optimistic
