21、Peer Pressure
The phrase, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. 【1】 , and so it is hardly surprising that some of their self-worth comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性)is a powerful force in many people’s lives.
Peer Influence
A student whose friends excel in academics may be forced to study harder and get good grades. Study groups, class projects, and even book clubs are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves. While for certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction. 【2】 . Groups of children may join in bullying newcomers in school.
【3】
Schools and other organizations try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Likewise, it can be helpful to encourage children to embrace the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.
Active Parenting
【4】 . Parents can take a number of steps, including working to build closer relationships with their children, getting to know both the children’s friends and the parents of those friends, knowing who they’re with, and providing structure and discipline at home.
Self-Awareness
Being self-aware is at the root of managing this type of pressure. 【5】 . “Going with the flow,” so to speak, is not always a bad thing, but as each individual is still responsible for the consequences, it is important to be a thinking participant in the decision.
A．Valuing Being Oneself
B．Battling Negative Pressure
C．People are social creatures by nature
D．Parental involvement can help ease harmful peer pressure
E．They may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong
F．People should consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action
G．You should work out whether your real motivation is affecting others’decisions
22、It felt like a disaster when my washing machine broke last winter. Just one week of cleaning the kids’ football kits in the bath left me with an aching back and itchy fingers. These short-term trials of housekeeping don’t usually happen but they are thrown into sharp relief by Beezy Marsh’s absorbing new book about her grandmother, Annie Austin, one of 1,000 women employed in the slum (贫民窟) laundries of London back in 1918.
Although the Fisher Act of 1918 made it compulsory for children to attend school under the age of 14, Annie was just 12 when she began work in the coal-stained streets of Acton.
Her pregnant mother and bossy stepfather already worked there and they had her grandmother and weak-chested younger brother George to support. Before the National Health Service, a doctor’s bills could break a family.
Sweet Lavender, Honeysuckle Villa and Blanchisserie Royal — the laundries all had picture-postcard names to give their wealthy customers the illusion of clean country air.
But there was no rural scenery behind the wet windows of the sweatshops where little girls scrubbed dirt from collars and sleeve, openings from 8 am to 8 pm every weekday, working half-day on Saturdays.
Marsh, a journalist, writes with novelistic talent. She makes you smell the sickening smell of the dirty clothes and feel the pain of soaps in the open wound of Annie’s cracked (破裂的) and swollen (肿的) fingers. And she also makes you feel the pride that these women took in the honest, hard work that kept their families above the breadlines.
Annie’s mother, Emma, was the laundry’s chief ironer. She lifted ten-pound irons around to press the pleated (有褶的) silk of the finest clothes.
But Emma was keeping secrets behind her clean appearance. She had told Annie her father had been killed in the Great War, but if that was the case, then why was his photograph hidden at the bottom of her button box?
Her seeking for the truth revealed a tale of gambling, debt, betrayal and murder.
As Marsh discovered, “The choices made by one generation were sometimes considered too shocking for the next generation to bear.”
Annie’s adventures find her visiting the homes of bullied (被欺负的) Eastern European immigrants and the pubs(酒馆) of Covent Garden.
There are also enjoyable details of Annie’s love affairs with the handsome actor who takes her out for champagne (香槟酒) at the Café de Paris in a borrowed fox-fur coat and her slower romance with Geordie union man, Harry. When Harry kneels beside the Thames and offer her a ring of seed pearls and sapphire (蓝宝石), Annie thinks it is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.
【1】The author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph is to ______.
A．lead in by relating her experience to that of Annie Austin
B．describe her experience in the absence of washing machine
C．get readers to buy the new book written by Beezy Marsh

23、Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small
The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect （直立的）set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush into narrow streets, more deaths will result.
The UN has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.
There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length, but when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning "harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors.
Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves, but this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.
【1】The destruction of Agadir is an example of .
A．ineffective instruments
B．faulty building construction
C．an earthquake's strength
D．widespread panic in earthquakes
【2】What are the UN expert supposed do?
A．Put forward advice.
B．Construct strong buildings.
C．Monitor earthquakes.
D．Detect disastrous earthquakes.
【3】What does the underlined word "submarine" Para. 4 probably mean?
A．By the seaside.
B．On the mountain.
C．In the harbor.
D．Under the water.
【4】The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may .
A．notice them out at sea
B．be warned early enough
C．find ways to stop them
D．develop warning systems
24、In order to help customers find what they want quickly，it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly．This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.
Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:
1.New Releases Wall.
2.Film library.
3.Video Games.

Film Library．The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories．The films within each category are displayed alphabetically．Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes：
Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles．A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.
Video Game．All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order．Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存)，they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store．Therefore，video games are never displayed on the shelves．Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game．When a customer wants to rent a particular game，you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.
