You would be “in the swim”!24If a person makes a Faustian bargain, _Ahe might come to a bad endBhe would be considered cleverChis life would become satisfyingDhe would gain power and knowledge25In the past, why did a circus perform different acts at the same time ?

Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.Youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.28. For whom is the passage most probably written?A. Students. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Doctors.29. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_.A. explains why friendship is so importantB. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressureC. discusses how peers influence usD. shows how to make more good friends30. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A. Spending more time with classmates.B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.C. Choosing friends with no bad habits.D. Helping others who are in trouble.31. What is the topic of the passage?A. Friendship. B. Making decisions C. Self-confidence D. Peer pressure DLong ago in a small town, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he bounced(跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “ This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see on the faces of the people you meet? 32. Why was the first dog surprised when he entered the house?A. Because he didnt expect to see so many happy dogs.B.
