mount kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in africa. seated next to me on the flight was tanzanias minister of water and wildlife development. we talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. when i toured the school, i was shocked. the leaky（漏的）roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldnt keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). the school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.it broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so i asked the headmaster what it would cost to

influence each others choices and behavior. this is often _ - its human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. they may pressure you into doing something youre uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.the pressure to conform（随潮流） can be powerful and hard to resist. a person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless- or something that has more serious consequences.people may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they dont feel awkward or uncomfortable. when people are unsure of what to do in a social situation, they naturally look to others for cues（暗示）about what is and isnt acceptable.the people who are most easily influenced will follow someone elses lead first. then others may go along, too - so it can be easy to think, “it must be ok. everyone else is doing it. they must know what theyre doing.” before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd - perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.responding to peer pressure is part of human nature - but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist and stand their ground.its not always easy to resist negative peer pressure. but when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterwards. and you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way - often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation.56. which of the following is a kind of peer pressure?a. your teachers give you a lot of homework.b. your
