Students who date(约会) in middle school have significantly worse study skills. They are

four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use

as their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.

“Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships,” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.

Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.

Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and

reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their

teachers completed questionnaires about the students’　academic(学术的) efforts. He found that some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students always had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently

in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.

“At all points in time, teachers considered the students who report ed the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having

the worst study skills,”　according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit (学分), being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.

“Dating a classmate may be as complicated as dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “when the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps see the ex-partner dating someone e lse. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and could divert (转移) attention from studying.”

“Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,”　Orpinas concluded.

A. have poorer academic performances

A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade

B. completed a survey and a report each year

C. found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating

D. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts

34. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?

A. They don’t want to see each other any longer.

B. They will think it’s reasonable to get depressed.

C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.

D. Their attention to studying will be affected.
