If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas.You don't like to upset people,so you never express your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.

科目:高中英語 來源:2011-2012學年陜西省西安市遠東第一中學高二5月月考英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers(同齡人). When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
【小題1】What is the topic of the passage?

A.Friendship.B.Self-confidenceC.Peer pressureD.Making decisions
【小題2】In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.
A.explains why friendship is so important
B.discusses how peers influence us
C.shows how to make more good friends
D.gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
【小題3】Which of following may help handle peer pressure?
A.Spending more time with classmates.B.Choosing friends with no bad habits.
C.Taking up more relaxing hobbies.D.Helping others who are in trouble.

科目:高中英語 來源:山西省月考題 題型:閱讀理解

     Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll
hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way,
you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our
parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will
go to the Olympics. but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you
find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love
yourself.
     Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you
act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from
the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they
should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and
your whole world.
     The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That
is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts
to occur in it.
     It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one
flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your
primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're
weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull because you
don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn't
mean it's true.
     The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,
and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on
those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can
pat yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!
1. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A. dare to challenge yourself
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
2. According to the passage, our serf-images _________.
A. have positive effects
B. are probably untrue
C. are often changeable
D. have different functions
3. How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?
A. To keep a different image of others.
B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world.
D. To change the way you think.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success.    
B. How to face challenges in your life.
C. How to build a positive self-image.
D. How to develop your good qualities.

科目:高中英語 來源:江蘇省寧海外國語學校2009—2010學年高三下學期高考模擬英語試卷(4) 題型:閱讀理解

It’s Friday morning in the year of 2050, and you’re running late. You got distracted(分心) watching the music video that was playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth. How will you get to your office on time?
A quick check of your internet-connected refrigerator magnet tells your train, which travels at speeds up to 230 miles an hour, is a bit behind schedule, too. So you decide to drive your environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuel cell car instead, or rather, let your car drive you. It’s programmed to know the way, and it will get you there without speeding, getting lost, or crashing.
Settling into your office chair, which changes colour to match what you’re wearing, you pick up yesterday morning’s newspaper. Printed on reusable electronic paper, it instantly rewrites itself with today’s headlines. Now it’s time for your big meeting. Uh-oh! You’ve left your handwritten notes at home. No problem. The digital ink pen you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote.
Your wristwatch videophone suddenly rings. Your best friend’s face pops up on the organic light-emitting diode screen asking what you’re doing this weekend. “Will you slap on your 3-D contact lenses and play virtual soccer with the US Olympic team?” “No, no,” Your friend says, “I want to take the elevator which is made of microscopic fibers many times stronger than steel to get into space.”
Could this scene really take place in just a couple of decades? The researchers who are currently developing all this stuff think so. These gadgets(器械) may be as common in 20 years as cell phones and DVD players are today.
63. According to the passage, __________.
A. your office colour will change to that of what you’re wearing
B. newspapers will go electronic    C. you usually go to work by car
D. the digital ink pen makes writing so easy
64. You decide to use your hydrogen fuel cell car because __________.
A. it is safe, quick and comfortable         B. it is environmentally-friendly
C. your train is late for some reason       D. you are too late to catch your train
65. What will life be like in the year of 2050 according to the passage?
A. Space tourism will be a reality.    C. Transportation will be trouble-free.
B. Videophones will replace face-to-face communication.
D. People will have more time to go in for their hobbies.
