Peer pressure (压力) can be direct or indirect, but it is almost always present. Learning to deal with peer pressure makes a teen mature (成熟的), and able to get along well with others.Bad peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something that they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, or drugs, and it can remain with them into adulthood. This is the main reason teens have to learn how to deal with it. Some of the things you can do to deal with peer pressure include: Choose friends who share your values. Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self. Keep away from situations where people are doing things you dont want to do. Think about your reasons for doing things. Are they good reasons? Are you being true to yourself and your values? Practice ways of saying no, giving excuses if necessary. Talk to your parents, or other trusted adults, about the kinds of peer pressure you face, and listen to their advice. Let the adults know when you need help to get out of a bad situation, and dont know what to do about it.Remember that if just one teen stands up to (对抗) peer pressure, usually others will join him or her. Learning to deal with peer pressure will make you confident and mature.46. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Teens facing pressure cant tell right from wrong. B. Peer pressure comes from smoking, drinking and using drugs. C. Peer pressure includes direct and indirect pressure. D. Teens who face pressure are more mature than those who dont47. Teens should learn to deal with peer pressure mainly because _. A. it can influence them even when they have grown up B. it can keep them from making serious mistakes C. learning to deal with it can help them get along well with others D. learning to deal with it can make them mature and confident48. According to the passage, teens should _. A. stay away from people who dont share their values B. ask adults they trust for helpC. have good reasons for anything they do D. say no more often than yes49. Which column of a magazine may the passage be from? A. Social problem.B. School news. C. Science.D. For teens. BBlind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.50. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should_.A. forget daily fear and pain B. stay away from stars C. ask others for decisions D. choose the right example51. According to the author. The world moves on because of those who are .A. desperate to introduce others with their knowledge B. willing to accept others ideasC. ready to turn their original ideas into reality D. eager to discover what their ancestors did52. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creatively. B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success.CBeing an astronaut sounds cool，doesnt it? In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravityHowever，there are also plenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment，and thats very sadWhats worse，they cant even let their sadness showbecause its impossible to cry in zero gravityOf course，astronauts can still produce tearsBut crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in JanuaryWithout gravity，tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on EarthThis means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to gothey just stick to your eyesIn May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks”Tears，”he said，”dont fall off of your eyesThey just kind of stay there”Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical painBack on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyesBut thats not the case in spaceThe space environment dries out astronautseyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort”My right eye is painful like crazy”Feustel told his teammate during the walkSince gravity doesnt work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tearsFeustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears awayAnother choice is to just wait“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic There are lots of small thingsthings like cryingthat we are so used to on EarthWe usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like spaceThere，astronauts cant talk to each other directlyThey also cant eat or drink in normal waysThey cant even burp(打嗝)，because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachIf they do burp，they just end up throwing up(呕吐)everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space CenterThus，perhaps its only space explorers who can honestly say：”Gravity，youre the best”53. According to the text，which of the following is right?AAstronauts will never feel sad in space BTears produced in space dont flow downwardCAstronauts produce bigger tears in spaceDTears produced in space cant be wiped away54. What effect do tears have on astronauts in space?AThey float around and cause danger BThey make them see much clearerCThey cause them physical pain DThey bring them comfort to their eyes.55. Whats mainly talked about in paragraph 7?AThings that humans cant do without gravityBHow to cure burping and throwing up in space.CSuggestions on how to stay comfortable in spaceDOther basic things that are difficult to do in space56. The text is probably taken from_A. all education report B. a school bulletin. C. a local newspaper D. a science magazine D On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron (围裙) the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (仪式,老规矩) began after breakfast when Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone. Ill take care of the dishes!” With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads like “I Had a Hat When I Came In” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphys Chowder?”I suppose it was strange for a boys father to wear an apron even one with race cars but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My father seemed in a talkative mood as we walked home from church together.“Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds and the bees? A new bike? A part-time job?“There comes a time in every boys life when he must take on responsibilities.” This was important. “Responsibilities?” I asked.“Yes. Its time you took a greater role in the household.” “Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together.”“The dishes!?”“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?”I started to say something about a mans job or womans work, but I knew immediately that my disagreement would fall on deaf ears.I didnt taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a cheerful mood and was describing a wonderful baseball game he saw last night.Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was finishing the last of the egg fro
