At first, it was easy, but a couple of months later, we were taught the single-and-a-half toss. We tossed our flag so that it would turn one-and-a-half times in the air and we had to catch the pole (旗杆) straight up and down with the flag at the top. Sometimes I dropped it, other times it went to one side rather than toss my flag straight up. After an hour, I was the only one who couldn’t do it. Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practising while everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of tossing that I didn’t care about doing it right. “Are you giving it up?” Angie asked. “Yes. I am,” I shouted at her. She sent me to the waiting room. There, I was allowed to cry out my frustrations (沮丧). Then Angie came in and said, “You are trying to be too perfect. ” She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I realised Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself. I kept practising and by the next practice, I had mastered the toss. I realised that the color guard could teach me lessons about life. There were moments when I was going to fail, but the best thing I could do was to learn from my mistakes. (D)36. The writer joined the color guard because _______.   A. her best friend joined it, too B. she would get a stronger body C. her parents wanted her to do it D. she thought it would be interesting (C)37. How was the writer’s single-and-a-half toss at first? A. Not so bad. 　　　　 B. Just so-so. C. Quite poor. D. Perfect. (B)38. The underlined word “ashamed” in Paragraph 2 means “_______” in Chinese.   A. 满意的 B. 尴尬的 C. 自豪的 D. 感人的 (C)39. What did Angie encourage the writer to do? A. To stay alone. B. To be perfect. C. To keep practising. D. To ask for help. (A)40. What can we learn from the story? A. We can make it by learning from mistakes. B. Joining the color guard helps make friends. C. Team spirit is the most important to a team. D. Teachers are always role models for a team. B What is peer pressure? People who are the same age as you, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence(影响) you to act, or to make you do something, it’s called peer pressure. Everyone has to deal with(处理) it, even the older people. The influence of peer pressure Peers can have a good influence on each other when they are encouraged to do something positive. You might admire(羡慕) a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like him or her. On the other hand, sometimes peers influence each other in bad ways. Negative peer pressure involves(包含) pressure to do something dangerous. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them when you should study at school or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift(在商店行窃) with him. Why do people give in(屈服) to peer pressure? Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. How to walk away from peer pressure Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie(说谎), then maybe you won’t do these things either. Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away. At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on. 41. Does everyone have to deal with peer pressure? Yes. 42. What does negative peer pressure involve? It involves pressure to do something dangerous.   43. Why do kids have to give in to peer pressure? Because they want to be liked, or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group.   44. How many ways are talked about to be away from peer pressure?

When they try to influence(影响) you to act, or to make you do something, it’s called peer pressure. Everyone has to deal with(处理) it, even the older people. The influence of peer pressure Peers can have a good influence on each other when they are encouraged to do something positive. You might admire(羡慕) a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like him or her. On the other hand, sometimes peers influence each other in bad ways. Negative peer pressure involves(包含) pressure to do something dangerous. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them when you should study at school or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift(在商店行窃) with him. Why do people give in(屈服) to peer pressure? Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. How to walk away from peer pressure Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie(说谎), then maybe you won’t do these things either. Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away. At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on. 41. Does everyone have to deal with peer pressure? 42.
