24、Peer pressure is that strong feeling you might get to do the same things as other people of your age if you want them to like you. There is nobody that wants to be talked about or laughed at. But regretfully (遗憾地), we can’t always do things we like and have to forget who we truly are sometimes because it becomes more important for us to fit in with those around us.

Sometimes the pressure that we feel involves (参与) unimportant things, like being considered cool or dressing fashionably. We feel like doing things others do and saying things others say. Like starting to drink, because everyone does it, or maybe one of our friends drinks. But we do it anyway because we don’t want others to think we are scared. At that moment all that seems to be important to us is what they think of us, but later we regret the choice that we have made. Peer pressure often makes people take risks and put their life on the line.

So why do we give in to negative (消极的) peer pressure? Sometimes we just want to show that we are independent (独立的). Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that other people around them are doing. The idea of following the crowd (大众) influences our judgment (判断) or common sense. And most of the time we give in because we don’t want to be made fun of or talked about for not doing what others are doing. We also do it because we are afraid of being refused by others or because we aren’t sure of ourselves. Also, we do it because we don’t want to lose a friendship, or we want to be liked by everyone. Those who give in to peer pressure have low self-esteem (自尊), uncertainty about themselves, and don’t have a sense of self-worth.

Sometimes peer pressure can also be good. What we have to do is to learn to tell the difference between positive (积极的) and negative pressure. It is OK sometimes to follow the crowd but we have to recognize when it does us more harm than good.

【1】Which of the following is most likely to cause peer pressure?

A. Our relatives invite us to attend a party.

B. Our teachers gave us a lot of homework.

C. Our parents expect high scores from us.

D. Our classmates take mobile phones to our school.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, we sometimes do something wrong to show that we_________.

A. are scared B. are independent

C. have great talent D. have great courage

【3】We give in to peer pressure to_________.

A. make others accept us B. attract others’ attention

C. prove our special value D. show our personality

【4】Which idea may cause us to make a wrong judgment according to the passage?

A. Nobody is perfect. B. Nothing is impossible.

C. Everyone else is doing it. D. Just follow your own belief.

25、   In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.

Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at about 3:30 p.m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private clubs after school.

Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.

In Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie (德语 您)” when talking to teachers.

In many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, walk around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interest.

Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the system in Bavaria for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.

26、As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done!” he said, “It’s not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”

“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest（竞赛）. It’s only two weeks away and I don’t know what I’m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There’s no way to avoid it!”

“Don’t be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be great. You have the skills to do just about anything.”

Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.

“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let’s brainstorm a list of things you could do. We’ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let’s start with music. You play the piano, right?”

“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.

“What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.

Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace.
