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（早戀）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 “l(fā)oss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “l(fā)oss 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
