There is nobody that wants to be talked about or laughed at. But regretfully (遗憾地), we cant 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 dont 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 dont 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 arent sure of ourselves. Also, we do it because we dont 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 dont 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.26 . Which of the following is most likely to cause peer pressure?AOur relatives invite us to attend a party.BOur teachers gave us a lot of homework.COur parents expect high scores from us.DOur classmates take mobile phones to our school.27 . According to Paragraph 2, we sometimes do something wrong to show that we_.Aare scaredBare independentChave great talentDhave great courage28 . We give in to peer pressure to_.Amake others accept usBattract others attentionCprove our special valueDshow our personality29 . Which idea may cause us to make a wrong judgment according to the passage?ANobody is perfect.BNothing is impossible.CEveryone else is doing it.DJust follow your own belief.Two years ago, my family moved to a new city and I had to study in a new school.

But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant believe how quickly time has passed. If you have this experience, youll know how time flies when you are having fun anddragswhen you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task. When we are bored, we pay more attention to how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.Recently some researchers who want to understand the conditions carried out an experiment. In the experiment, twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored（关注）their brain activity.The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared, then the color of the picture, and thirdly, study the both. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects（方面）of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it spends its full energy on the passing of time. As a result, time seems to move slowly.Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should concentrate(专心于) on what the teacher is saying.35 . What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean?Apasses slowlyBruns quickly.Cmoves activelyDgoes silently36 . What have the scientists found?ATime goes by fast when we have nothing to do.BThe ten minutes break is important to students.CThe brain works in different ways in different situations.DStudents pay more attention to the pictures than the passing of time.37 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AWe will be full of energy if were busy.BConcentrating on things is a way to make people less bored.CTime goes slowly when the brain is noticing many things at the same time.DWe should pay no attention to time when we are doing something.38 . Which is the best title of the passage?AThe best way to save timeBThe importance of planning timeCWhy time passes quicklyDThe reason for time flying and draggingSand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.39 . What does the story tell us about sand?AIt can only be found on beaches.BIt is the most-used resource in the world.CIt can never be used up.DIt can be used to build houses.40 .
