you name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. if you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.but the other

your class. do you do what you know is right and go to math class, take the quiz? or do you give in and go with them?people who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers（同龄人）. when they try to influence you how to act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure（压力）. its something everyone has to deal witheven adults.peers influence your life, even if you dont realize it, just by spending time with you. you learn from them, and they learn from you. its only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.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. or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消极的） ways. for example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.its difficult to say “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.it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. if you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust, a parent, or a teacher. they can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.5. with his words in the first paragraph, the kid is _.a. planning some interesting activities after schoolb. talking about a dinner partyc.

like in china, in the united states, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.in china, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the united states, the students enjoy free education(which will be started when they are about 6 years old) until they are 18 years old. as a result of the free education system, american children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.american high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. the activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. certainly, just like us students in china, american students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. they take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. and students with low marks at the end of a school year are still allowed to go on to the next grade.in american high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. so children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.9. this passage mainly tells us about _.a. education of chinese middle school b. education of american high schoolc.

get good marks can go to a good university.c. american students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.d. they can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.11. the writer of the passage tells us the truth that _.a .the atmosphere in high schools is not goodb. none of the schools in cities are good for learningc. suburban high schools are good places for learningd. all the american students want to go to university dat the age of seven i started taking violin lessons. i practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and occasionally played in a group concert. like most kids, i always thought practicing was boring. if my parents hadnt been there to make me practice, i probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again. i met moira when i was 11 at an irish music party. moira hosted the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. she made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. i immediately fell in love with the music she played and the energy that she brought to it. just a few days after that party, i took my first lesson with moira, and i continued taking lessons with moira throughout middle school.when i started playing the violin with moira, playing music became something that i loved. she introduced me to so many types of music, from irish to old time, to cajun. moira also taught me to play the guitar. soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! when i began to play the violin, practicing was something that i did at home in my living room, but with moiras influence it quickly became something that i did everywhere. i played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends kitchens.moira took the music out to the classroom and brought it to life. her passion(激情)was not only for playing music, but also for sharing it. my time with moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally. i have met so many special people and had so many invaluable(无价的) experiences. moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend.12. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. the writer had her violin lessons every day. b.

suggestions for you.relax form time to time 17 . it is said that if you want to master the art of relaxation, study the cat. think about it. have you ever seen a tired cat, or a cat with a nervous

movement keep you physically and mentally alive. the most interesting task can get boring if done for long periods of time, and the most comfortable chair isnt comfortable if the worker must sit in it for hours.think at the end of the day 19 . and if you are tired, is it because of the mental work youve done, or the way you have done it? generally, if you feel extremely tired at the end of the day, its quite likely been an inefficient (效率低的) day. 20 then you can work with a new attitude the next day.a. think of a catb. work less hardc. work in a comfortable positiond. this will help you form the habit of relaxing.e. make notes of what changes you need to make.f. ask yourself how tired you are at the end of the day.g. the greater part of tiredness comes from mental attitudes. 第二节语法知识填空第一节
