We’ve all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new. _________1._________
It’s hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? _____2._____ If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. _____3._____ You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
______4.______ — You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. ________5.________
A. Choose your friends carefully.
B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.
C. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.
D. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.
E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.
F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.

Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. ___1.___.Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. ___2.___. Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
___3.___. To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly, so he’ll become more fluent.
Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. ____4.____ .
Talk about what he’s reading. ___5.___. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.
For example:
•Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesn’t? ”
•During: “What’s going on in the book? Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”
•After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it? ”
A. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.
B. Select books that are appealing to your child but not too challenging.
C. Some prior knowledge will help him get better prepared and make his way through tougher classroom texts.
D. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.
E. Plus, he’s not only seeing the words, he’s hearing them, too.
F. Have him reread to build fluency.
G. Increase the speed of reading.
