greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environmenthere are some guidelines to follow:choose foods thoughtfullyamericans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose frombesides so many choices, we now hear about our food print, the amount of land needed to supply one persons nutritional needs for a yeardo we buy cherry tomatoes from mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse? dowe get the granny smiths from the fanners market or the supermarket? is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?these are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria, including the energy used in producing and transporting the food, as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the fooddespite the complexities, there are some general guidelines you can followfor instance, eat less meat or eat low on the food chainyour doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consume red meat because of its too much fat contentbeyond that, there are environmental reasons, too. raise food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land, energy and water than a plant - based onedrinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercisingbut is bottled water the way to go? you may not think so when seeing the true costsbased on a survey, manufacturing the 30 - plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 25 million tons of carbon dioxide and use here times the amount of water in the bottleadding in transportation, the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent （等价物）consequently, skip the bottled water and drink tap water, both at home and at restaurantsadditionally, bottled water is not

affected by peer pressure (从众心理) at some point. every day, in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. it can be as subtle (微妙的) as being persuaded to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug. whether subtle or extreme, peer pressure can have damaging, sometimes life changing, and even serious results.“teens dont often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,” said terri price, a researcher. “peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in”. peer pressure has always been part of teen life, but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past. sources of peer pressure have increased because of the internet and other electronic communications.recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “listen to your instinct （直觉） , which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. if it feels wrong, then most likely it is. ”says price.teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities (不安全感). this can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support, causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. people can say, “just say no,” but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.1.the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to .a. the internetb. teen lifec. peer pressured. the fear of not fitting in2.you can know whether a teen suffers peer pressure by watching .a. whether he often surfs the internetb. whether he can get securityc. whether it is subtle or extremed. whether he feels comfortable with it3.why are teens easily influenced by peer pressure?a. because they dont have the feeling of safety.b. because they are afraid of fitting in or being accepted.c. because they need support for their health.d. because they have nobody to turn to when in trouble.4.according to the passage, we can know that dealing with peer pressure is a. easy b. hard c. a new topicd. an impossible taskdmark twain was a great writer. he was from the usa. he was born in 1835. he was also a famous speaker. he was famous for his sense of humour. many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.one day mark twain was going to a small town because of his writing. before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes(蚊子) in the town and told him that hed better not go there. mark twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “it doesnt matter. the mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. i dont think they will come to visit me.”after he arrived at the town, mark twain stayed in a small
