阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to

cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when

other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even

harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try

to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

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.

Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s

reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in

school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to

convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is tough to be the only one who says “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.

You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to“choose your friends wisely”.

Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut

class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things

either, even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to

someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.

21. For whom is the passage most probably written?

A .Students B. Parents C. Teachers D. Doctors.

A．explains why friendship is so important

B．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure

D．shows how to make more good friends

23. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?

A．Spending more time with classmates. B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies.

C．Choosing friends with no bad habits. D．Helping others who are in trouble.

24. What is the topic of the passage?

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in

London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are

very different from those in New York, “I’m having a dinner party” means: “I’m

booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque

evenly, no matter what you eat.” Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who

leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then

people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same

trick, the hostess will shout; “Where are you going?” And it’s not like I can say I have

somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an

interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India,

Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the

mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s , a well-known department

store.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens

in New Yorkers. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,

people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual club.

25. What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. choice B. try C. style D. goal

26. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New Yorkers?

A. There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive.

C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash

27. What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks C. Less costly D. More interesting

28. What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

A. Easy-going B. Self-centred. C. Generous D. Conservative

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired.

It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human

could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue( 疲劳 ). To the amazement of these

scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows

no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of

fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert

Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or

even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what

makes us tired.

Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and

emotional( 情感的 ) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists J. A.

Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.

In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist,

goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker

in good health is due to emotional problems.”

What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A

feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being

appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom

causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

29.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a labour’s blood.

B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.

C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting worker tired？

A．Challenging mental work. B．Unpleasant emotions.

C．Endless tasks. D．Physical labor.

31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?

A．He agrees with them. B．He doubts them.

C．He argues against them. D．He hesitates to accept them.

32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energeic, sitting workers need to

______.

A．have some good blood B．enjoy their work

C．exercise regularly D．discover fatigue toxin
