classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens? behavior? As Laurence sees it, a teenager?s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesn?t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”

56. What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct. 57. Why are teenagers likely to make wrong decisions according to the text? A. They like difficult tasks. B. They don?t care about costs.

C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.

D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.

58. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer pressure on teens? behavior? A. By comparing it with how a car works. B. By comparing it with an accident. C. By showing research findings. D. By giving examples.

59. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers are more likely to _______ . A. use more self-control

B. perform better than when they are alone C. become more careful about what they do

D. care about winning without thinking about danger 60. What can we conclude from the text?

He found a group of family members 71 in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked, “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”

His students 72 for a while, and one of them said, “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”

“But, why should you shout when the other person is just 73 you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.”

Students gave some other 74 but none were any good.

“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts became distanced (疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover the distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the 75 they will have to shout to hear each other.”

“What 76 when two people fall in love? They don?t shout at each other but talk 77 because their hearts are very close.” The wise man said.

He looked at his students and said, “So when you argue, do not let your hearts 78 distant. Stop 79 words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is 80 great that you will not find the way back.” 六、阅读表达 (共5小题，计5分)

If I can give up coffee, anyone can! I was completely addicted (上瘾). I drank coffee all day. I depended on it for everything. Without coffee, I became sad and anxious. I would feel nervous if I couldn?t get some coffee before an important event like giving a speech or taking an exam.

It took countless tries before I realized how to give up coffee. Between each try, I learned a little bit more. Here?s how I did it. Coffee Addiction Knowledge The first step is to learn about what you are dealing with. Caffeine is a drug. The human body gets addicted to it easily. That?s why you feel good when you get your first cup of coffee in the morning and it?s why you feel bad when you try to give it up. There are emotional addictions to the caffeine as well. Some people believe that with the caffeine you will perform better and have more confidence.

Gradually Cut the Amount and Then Replace (替代)It with Green Tea You can give up coffee suddenly, but why put yourself through that unless you need an

unpleasant experience? You can follow these two steps. 1) Gradually cut the amount of coffee you drink according to a plan. Let?s say, you normally drink 5 cups of coffee a day. Over a one-week period, cut out one cup ________ so that by the sixth day you?re at zero. 2) On your first day without coffee replace it with green tea.
