20.In Africa,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(本能) 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 are 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,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,63percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular,and 91percent 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(书呆子),"has unspoken guidelines.When Zoe wears makeup or a dress,her friends act like she's betrayed them:"They'll 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."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.
27.When Mike first came to his high school,heD.
A.was excited to make new friends
B.was proud of his new pretty school
C.was pretty nervous about his coming exams

1.It's a cold day in December.A little boy about 10-year-old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway,barefooted,peering through the window,and shivering with cold.A lady approached the boy and said (61)gently (gentle),"My little fellow,why are you looking so earnestly in that window?""I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,"the boy (62)replied (reply).
The lady took him by the hand,went into the store,(63)and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy.She then asked (64)if/whether he could give her a basin of water and a towel.The clerk quickly brought them to her.She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and,removing her gloves,knelt down,washed his little feet,and dried them with the towel.By this time,the clerk (65)had returned (return) with the socks.(66)Placing/Having placed (place) a pair upon the boy's feet,she then purchased him a pair of shoes,and tying up the remaining pairs of socks,gave them to the boy.She patted him on (67)thehead and said,"My little fellow,do you feel (68)more comfortable now than before?"As she turned to go,the astonished boy,(69)who caught her hand and looked up in her face,(70)with tears in his eyes,answered the question with these words,"Are you God's wife?"

After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston,however,I needed to get out of my room.Although the restaurant opened at 6:30,I arrived at 6:25.The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my"being there really early".I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants.He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad!He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights,weekends and holidays.He said he hadn't enough time to be with his family.After 15minutes,he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself.I noticed that before he went to the front desk,he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me.Before I left that night,some other waiters,even the cook,had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later,all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table,and presented me with a red rose.And I cried!What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.

12.阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务.
    HOW do you tell others you are speechless via text messages without too much explanation?Standard texts can be boring,and sometimes your emotions get lost in it,You have to be so good at using descriptive language to express your exact feelings.Hence the birth of the Emoji-cake with lit candles to say"Happy Birthday",or a grinning (笑嘻嘻) face with a party hat to show"I"m having a great time".
    For those who aren't in the know yet,.Emoji-which come from Japanese and translate to"picture letter"-expand on the idea of the emoticon(情感符号)with cute,detailed,full color graphics.Instead of just typing a colon and parenthesis¨:)",you can choose from a grinning face with its eyes closed,a winking(眨眼) sticking its tongue out or a red-cheeked face with its eyes lowered in embarrassment. There are also  several Emoji hearts,ranging from swelling red ones,broken ones to those、with an arrow shot through them.
  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.The Emoji vocabulary also includes many objects from everyday life,such as animals,electronic appliances,tools,food and vehicles.With  some creativity you can make an entire sentence using only these cute symbols.
    Emoji might seem like a juvenile(幼稚的)form of  communication,and some even argue that they will cause people's language  skills to decline.But fans say they are humorous and take the edge away from serious conversations.
    Emoji have become so popular that an American named Fred Benenson recently launched a project called"Emoji Dick".His intention is to translate US writer Herman Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick (《白鲸》)into Emoji.Why is he doing this?He explained himself this way to The New Yorker.
"I'm interested in the phenomenon of how our language,communications,and culture are influenced by digital technology.Emoji are either a low point or a high point in that story,so I felt I could confront a lot of our shared anxieties about the future of human expression by forcing a great work of literature through such a strange new filter(滤镜)."
