Lisa was never active, but she was always very sweet and nice. In the 5th grade she came to my class. She was absent a lot. and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick, and she explained she wore a wig because her medicine made her lose her hair. We left it at that.Anytime Lisa came to class seldom 1 would hang with her on the playground. I received much ridicule from my friends for this because they thought 1 was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice, and I felt Lisa's needs were much more important than others I knew.It had been months since Lisa was in our class, and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well, all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life, I think of Lisa.I've had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father. I'd like to tell them that though they never met me, their daughter had a sweet effect on my life. I have no idea what her parents' first names are.

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“lo ss 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 signsfrom 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.8. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.B.

Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Parents should help their children to be aware of signs of depression.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.11. What's the author's attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disapproving.C. Neutral.D. Scared.DMost people hate change, which is sad since We often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. V oluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with changeis to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don't merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!12. Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?A. Because they didn't like the design of the Eiffel Tower.B. Because they couldn't avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.C. Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.D. Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.13. How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?A. We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.14. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.D. Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Psychology of ChangeB. The ways to Overcome the FearC. Changes That Disturb UsD. The Bad Effect of Changes第二节(共5小题)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
