It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure(从众心理) at some point. Every day, in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. It can be as subtle(微妙的) as being persuaded to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme, peer pressure can have damaging, some-times life changing, and even serious results.
“Teens don’t often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,” said Terri Price, a researcher. “Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in.” Peer pressure has always been part of teen life, but teens experience it differently than former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.
Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “Listen to your instinct(直觉), which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is.” Says Price. w w w.k s 5 u.c o m

The Winner's Guide to SuccessHow do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America． 1
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead． 2 You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do．”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”-they are doing what they believe they should and want to do．When you live your life on purpose, you'll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can．You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do．
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan． 3 A good plan is like a map to you．Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you'll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time．
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get．So you must be ready to work hard-even harder than you have ever done．If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable．
Never give up
4 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again：Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope．

Once an American writer was writing a novel．He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea．He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends．“I’ve got a perfect idea, ” he said, “I'll put it down later and show it to you．” But he never did, because he died that night．His book was left without a perfect ending．So remember, do what you can right away．Never delay at all．
A．It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away．
B．It seems to us that everyone knows this．But it is easier said than done．
C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work．
D．In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power．
E．Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality．
F．Don't delay
G．Here are some keys to success that they give．
day". But it's easier said than done to stay happy all the time. There are always things that stand in its
way.
The first, perhaps the biggest is genetics. Some scientists say that some people are naturally happier
than others. Besides, major life events as well as social and economic factors can also stand in the way
of happiness, such as losing your job or a family member. Then, there is health affecting your happiness
. So, is it possible that people can find lasting happiness with so many factors preventing them?
Positive psychologists(心理学家)believe it's possible for people to stay happy for long periods,
although it cannot be lasting. Martin Seligman at University of Pennsylvania argues that daytoday
happiness comes from two things: pleasures and satisfactions. Pleasures are rich experiences that simply
make us feel good things like eating cake or drinking wine. While pleasures can be quite satisfying, the
enjoyment we get from them is shortlived.
Satisfactions are activities that we like to do and we give all we have to them. They are often
challenging, and we have to draw_on personal skills and strengths to perform them. For some people,
satisfactions come with work. Doctors, for example, often become so concentrated in an operation that
hours pass without them noticing the time. For others, it may be hobbies like gardening, playing tennis or
stamp collecting. These satisfactory activities affect the mood in a way that appears to be lasting.
Too often, people choose pleasures over satisfactions because they are easier and the effects are
more immediate. Though pleasures may work for a while, there are bad effects. Pleasurable activities
become less enjoyable if overused. Always choosing pleasures over satisfactions can also prevent people
from developing their personal strengths, which, if they're not put to work, will die.
B．Three.
C．Four.
D．Five.
B．are more meaningful and last longer
C．are more easily ignored by people
D．depend mostly on one's genetics
B．find
C．improve
D．use
B．It's Impossible to Stay Happy Long.
C．Pleasures Are Different From Satisfactions.
D．The Factors That Affect Our Happiness.
