   The “challenges” of family holidays are well-known. It's 1 enough getting on with your husband,wife or kids at home,so how can you 2 yourself while travelling with them? Susan M. Shaw,expert on leisure(休閑) at the University of Waterloo,thinks the term “family leisure” is full of 3 . “Research suggests that such 4 do not always make you feel relaxed,” she writes,darkly.

Family holidays probably,don't add much to the sum of human 5 . However,as one of my friends likes to 6 , people don't have children for happiness. Research has shown that 7 are less happy than childless people. 8 , says my friend,having children is best understood as a biological urge. You have them not for the present but for the 9 ,so that your 客從從(基因) will continue to exist when you are gone. And 10 , you go on family holidays not for the present but for the future.

   Thus,the aim of the holiday,much of the time,is to stock up on 11 : to leave all family members with 12 of happiness that they can look back on after the family doesn't exist. Indeed,much of what we remember of our families comes from 13 . On holiday,the family exists more clearly than at any other time: all together for once,14 work,school or friends. On holiday,you are much closer to your 15 . Holiday photographs make that feeling of closeness 16 . In fact,the photographs themselves are perhaps the main 17 of the holiday: that's where the memories get laid down.

   A family holiday is for memories. Once you grasp that,you will not 18 it. I vividly remember,about 30 years ago,returning from an Italian 19 to our handsome brick house. 20 we opened the front gate,my mother said,uThat's the best part of a holiday: coming home."

   In Africaj wild baboons(狒狒) like banding together to find food and protect each other. They may not be the smartest species,but like all animals,survival instincts are programmed into their DNA. They know that being together makes them safer.

   Now think about your school. Sure,no one is trying to eat you alive,but you too are a social animal. And you’re one who has been thrown into a fierce environment. From day one,you sense that there’s safety in numbers. And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs,you feel more secure. “When I first walked into -my new high school last year,I was so nervous,”says Mike,rarJjTBliS=f 15,a high school student in New York City.“Everyone sat and walked together,in twos or threes — sometimes as a ‘group’ of five or more people. I didn’ t understand how I would ever belong.

  Mike isn’t alone. In a survey,63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular,and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups.

   It is believed that to be popular is to be liked. But all popular people aren’t necessarily liked. They just make rules. Popular groups aren’t the only ones making rules. Zoe,a freshman from New York,says that even her close crew,which calls itself the “booknerds” (書呆子) ，” has unspoken guidelines. When Zoe wears makeup or a dress,her friends act like she's betrayed them: “They’ 11 say ,‘ Oh,she's painting her nails. She's a popular girl now., They’ re joking,but they’re not,if you know what I mean. It makes me upset."

   “Because of the way the teen brain works,differences are seen as threatening,” says researcher Alexandra Robbins. “But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood."

   Take,for example,Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5. In high school,he was a “nerdy,awkward kid crazy about music.w Now he's successful and famous. Then there,s Taylor Swift: Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her,she put her energy into songwriting.

25. When Mike first came to his high school,he.

   A. was excited to make new friends

   B. was proud of his new pretty school

   C. was pretty nervous about his coming exams

   D. was worried about finding new companions

26. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?

   A. Most of us like popular people.

   B. Only popular groups make rules.

   C. Being popular is important to students.

   D. There are always some rules in a group.

27. Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress,her friends.

   A. praise her   B. appear unhappy

   C. are proud of her   D. are envious of her

28. Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student?

   A. She was very popular.

   B. She had many friends.

   C. She was devoted to her hobby.

   D. She was one of the coolest kids.
