Ⅴ.短文填空

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Peer pressure

Peer pressure is just part of the challenges in life. __1__ If you need further guidance, this article might help you. It provides three effective tips to deal with it：

Be with friends who respect your beliefs.

You can go out with people who accept and respect the things you believe in and those who you know you can share your interests with. It is all right to be choosy with friends because you just want what is best for them and you. __2__ You are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides. Your friends will understand you for that. They can drag you away from discrimination and you can be confident that they will not leave you for your stand in life.

__3__

When you are driven by so many peer pressures, you can always stay away from it. You can actually decide not to be one of them. When you have decided on it, learn to be firm with your decision. __4__ They should know that you cannot be forced to do certain things because you are strong and firm with what you believe in.

Learn how to say no.

Learning to say no is one big factor to deal with some pressures from all of your friends. When you are convinced to do something you know that can only destroy you or ruin you, learn to say no.__5__ You cannot just say yes to anything. You have a functional mind and you know what is best for you. So learn to say no even if saying no means losing your friends.

参考范文： Dear Li Hua，

Truly，the year of senior three is quite critical.

As far as I know，time is always not enough for us.So first of all，you need to arrange your time well.You'd better make a long-term study plan，say(＝for example)，a one-month plan with more efforts to take up your weak subjects.And a short-term plan is equally necessary，if not more important.You have to make sure of what you need to do each day，each class and even each minute.

At the same time，it's quite essential to keep healthy.So take exercise for at least one hour and sleep for no less than seven hours a day.And don't forget to eat well.More vegetables and fruit can provide you with richer nutrition.

Hope you will enjoy the last year of senior high and go to an ideal university

next year.

Yours ever，
