(C) It is said that love is a drug. But is it just a drug? That is the argument of Larry Young, a
professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, saying that love can be explained by different
*neurochemical events in the brain. If it is true, he says, people will no longer have to rely on
P
*oysters or chocolates to create a loving mood. Instead, it will be possible for scientists to develop
some *chemicals that would make people fall in love with the first person they see. As for those
who have fallen in love with someone they shouldn't have, there could be a medicine to the love
that can't be returned back. The scientists even expect a "love test" by genes to see whether a
possible couple can lead to a happy married life. In a recent study, researchers have found that

*oxytocin is related to the bonding of male and the female humans, having a strong connection
with each other that lasts for a very long time. And there have been studies in humans that show
that oxytocin increases trust the ability to read the emotions of others. What's more, there are
already perfumes with oxytocin on the market, but Professor Young believes the levels are too
low for it to be powerful enough. "But I think in the future we can develop drugs to pass into the
brain and target certain brain areas." he said. Also, Professor Young argues that it makes sense
that the same sort of chemicals might be making the bond between individuals stronger. He
believes there are other chemicals too - it is just a matter of doing the research and finding out
which ones they are. "I'm sure that we are just at the beginning stage. There are hundreds of
important chemicals in the brain that we don't know yet," he said. He believes one day we will
have a much better understanding of how all these chemicals *interact in certain brain areas that
have certain function so that humans have these complex emotions.

倒數第四句’ there are hundreds of…we don’t know yet’可以得知B選項是錯的

倒數第七句’ argues that…individuals stronger’可以得知Professor Young覺得化學物質會讓彼此的關係更加強烈，而非香水裡面
