Wang Ling, a middle school girl, felt angry with her parents after getting a boy's phone call. "A classmate called me to discuss homework. We talked   41   just a few minutes before my parents got mad," said the girl. "They asked whether I liked the boy. I said I didn't,  42   they wouldn't believe me."

Wang's trouble is not strange at all because puppy love (早恋) becomes a big headache for  43  parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for  44   . Her school makes it a rule not to allow any talk or any physical contact (身体接触)  45    one boy and one girl alone.

Many students say they understand  46   parents and teachers are so nervous about puppy love. But some think they are going too far. "We have our own thoughts and we know what to  47   with it," said Wang Ling.

Another girl, Jiang Ting, liked making friends with boys. "Boys and girls can learn from each other," she said. "My mother asks me to study hard. However, she  48  stops me from making friends with boys." Once Jiang told her mother she might fall in love with a boy. Her mother let Jiang make  49  own decision. Soon Jiang found that she didn't like him any more because the boy was not as   50  as what she had thought before. And she did worse and worse in her subjects because she spent much on it. At last she understood the worry from schools and most parents about puppy love.
