Whether it is pressure to go with a group or pressure to act a certain way, peer pressure is something every teen has to deal with at some time in their life. You cant escape it; it is everywhere. How successfully you handle peer pressure depends a great deal on how you feel about yourself and your place in the world. Peer pressure often causes low self-esteem and confidence, making you feel that friends could attack you. Whats worse, you may even feel isolated from your family. Youll have uncertainty about your place within a given peer group. Peer pressure also causes poor academic performance. All of these make you more likely to give in to pressure. How do you prepare to face peer pressure and win? There are many things you can do: Prepare a mental script (想象剧本) of how you would like to deal with uncomfortable situations. Script out the reaction you want to have in a given situation and play that script out in your head over and over again.Never take part in any bullying (恃强凌弱). Making other people feel bad or sad is a terrible way to try to fit in. Refuse to take part in anything designed to cause harm or distress to another person and speak up if such a situation arises. You do not have to be angry but one person standing up for what is right is usually enough to inspire others to follow. Know where you stand on key issues like drugs. Think of yourself as a leader and act accordingly. The more you see yourself in a leadership role, the more comfortable you will feel asserting (主张) your own opinions and feelings. You may get a bit of teasing at first but most people wont show any disagreement with the boundaries of others when they know what they are. Some people may not like it when you go against the group but doing the right thing is rewarding. If you refuse to let it frighten you, peer pressure will lose its power. The secret is to stand your ground but avoid being preachy (说教的). 56. What can we learn about peer pressure? A. It happens within a school group. B. It can be easily handled by teens. C. It is a common thing among teens. D. It is avoidable under certain conditions. 57. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2? A. The causes of low self-esteem. B. The negative effects of peer pressure. C. Peoples attitudes towards peer pressure. D. The influence of peer pressure on your studies. 58. How do most people react if you stick to your boundaries all the time? A. They will make fun of you. B. They will feel greatly inspired. C. They will force you to change. D. They will respect your decision.59. What is the key to fighting against peer pressure? A. Bravely and firmly doing the right thing. B. Choosing a proper time to speak out. C. Trying to become the leader of the group. D. Managing to persuade others to follow you. BA plan to reform gaokao, or Chinas college entrance examination, in Beijing has divided experts, who disagree on whether placing less emphasis on English-language skills is a good idea.The Beijing Municipal Commission of Education said Monday that the scores for subjects like English and Chinese in Beijings gaokao will change as of 2016. The overall score of English will drop from 150 to 100, while the total points for Chinese will rise from 150 to 180.Other regions, including Jiangsu and Shandong provinces and Shanghai municipality, are also preparing their own gaokao reforms.According to China National Radio, Shandong will cancel the listening part of the English examination in its gaokao.Some local reports in Jiangsu also said that English may not be included in gaokao in the future, but education authorities later denied those reports, saying the idea was only a proposal.Education experts have sharp differences of opinion on such proposals.Hu Ruiwen, a member of the National Education Advisory Committee, said such a change would be a signal to students that they should pay more attention to their native language than a foreign one. “Students now are spending too much time studying English,” Hu said. “In fact, not all of them will or would like to go abroad.” “On the other hand, their native language is being used in every aspect of their life and work, so its important for all Chinese students to learn their native language well,” Hu said. The changes will also help students learn the Chinese language better, he added.But Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said changing the total points will not affect students knowledge of those subjects. “I dont think a rise in the total points of Chinese will encourage students to improve their application ability in Chinese,” Xiong said. “Instead, it will only make the students endeavor (努力) to score higher in the Chinese examinations.” There are differences of opinion among students and parents as well.Some applauded the Beijing change, saying its one way to help relieve the heavy burden of gaokao, while some are concerned it will lead to decreased English proficiency (水平) for those who choose to study abroad or work in the future.Many English teachers in high schools voiced their support. “The change in the exam doesnt mean that English is not important anymore. On the contrary, it means that we English teachers now can pay more attention to encouraging students to love English, and lifting their practical ability in using English,” she said.60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Shanghai has conducted their Gaokao reform.B. Jiangsu has decided to wipe English out of Gaokao. C. Students and parents have quite different opinions on the plan. D. Many English teachers are in favour of the Beijing reform plan. 61. The two experts Hu and Xiong have different opinions over whether _.A. English should be included in GaokaoB. Chinese is more important than EnglishC. the change for Chinese in Gaokao will workD. students should improve their ability in Chinese 62. What could be the best title for the passage?A. People are divided over Gaokao reform planB. English is of less importance in our daily lifeC. Gaokao reform plan raises concern among the publicD. Gaokao reform plan relieves heavy burden from students CAustralian sleep researchers have developed a set of hi-tech “sunglasses”, described as the worlds first “time control” glasses, which can imitate sunlight patterns. The team, from Flinders University, in Adelaide, says the glasses send out a soft green glow that helps a traveller adapt to changing sleep patterns and time zones in “small steps”. It targets a part of the brain that regulates the human body-clock, by sending signals to the rest of the body that help it slowly realize it is in a different area of the world. It has been suggested the device, called the “Re-Timer”, is currently the only wearable body clock adjustment system commercially available. Scientists say the device, officially launched in South Australia, can help rid the negative effects of long-time travel and bring new relief to insomnia (失眠) sufferers, shift workers and even teenagers. “The light from Re-Timer stimulates the part of the brain responsible for regulating the 24-hour body clock,” said Prof Leon Lack, its chief inventor.Extensive research has shown that green light is one of the most effective wavelengths(波长) for influencing the body clock.The battery-powered device, which retail for 162 in Britain, then sends signals that cause the production of hormones and daily cycles known as circadian rhythms (生理节奏).Those people who want to sleep peacefully but wake earlier, should wear it for 50 minutes in the morning for three days. Those who want a lie-in, should wear it for the same time before bed to delay the body clock. The device, which is powered by an inbuilt rechargeable battery, can also be worn as sunglasses during daily tasks such as reading or using a computer. “The glasses have been designed to be user friendly and comfortable to wear so people can go about their normal activities wearing them at work or at home,” he said, adding they had been designed based on 25 years of university research.It is estimated that up to 94 percent of long-time travellers suffer from jet lag because the body becomes confused to travelling through different time zones. So the glasses are good news to them. It uses the outside world as indicators as to whether it should be awake or asleep including factors such as light, silence or noise. Airlines are said to be seeking a “silver bullet” for the tiredness and confusion that often follow a long-time flight and are in discussions to buy the device. 63. The “time control” glasses work by _. A. getting rid of green light B. creating a quiet environment C. receiving real-time signals D. motivating part of the brain64. What can we learn about the “Re-Timer” from the passage? A. It is a new way to cure insomnia. B. It can only be powered by battery. C. It can be used by several groups of people. D. It is specially designed for flight passengers.65. If you wear a “Re-Timer” an hour before bed, you will probably _. A. wake up earlier than usualB. spend a longer bed time C. sleep less but feel energeticD. have a sleep without dreams66. The underlined part “silver bullet” refers to _. A. a scientific explanation B. a kind of perfect sunglasses C. a wonderful solution D. an effective security systemDI had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house!But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planetssuch as the Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Venusto which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example, “Asteroid 325.” I have serious reasons to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B-612. This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909. On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration (论证). But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.Grown-ups are like that. Fortunately, however, for the reputation of Asteroid B-612, a Turkish dictator(独裁者) made a law that his subjects (臣民) should change to European costume under pain of death (违者格杀勿论). So in 1920 the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elegance. And this time everybody accepted his report. If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is for the grown-ups and their ways. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, “What does his voice soun
