A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you, Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer－just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a filed dominated(受控的) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to
be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a
post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement－jobs, research papers, awards－was viewed through the lens of gender(性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture(培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing ***ism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all. I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer. 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead. I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
72．Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
       A．She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
       B．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
       C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
       D．She finds space research more important.
73．From Paragraph 2 we can infer that people would attribute(归结于) the author’s failures to
    ____________.
       A．the very fact that she is a woman
       B．her involvement in gender politics
       C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
       D．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
74．Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?
       A．Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.
       B．Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence.
       C．Her female students can do just as well as male students.
       D．More female students are pursuing science than before.
75．What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
       A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
       B．Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
       C．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
       D．Women now fewer problems pursuing a science career.

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?
At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG”, “MM”, “Xia Mi”, has become popular among the teenagers.
There are different opinions on. Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.
However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Besides, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.
Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.
