题目内容
【题目】 People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers (同龄人). When they try to influence how you act or to get you to do something, it's called peer pressure.【1】
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.【2】The idea that everyone's doing it can influence some kids to leave their better judgment or their common sense behind.
【3】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.
It can really help to have at least one other peer or friend who is willing to say 'no' too.【4】It's great to have friends with values similar to yours. If you choose friends who don't use drugs, smoke cigarettes or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.
Even if you're faced with peer pressure while you're alone, there are still things you can do. You can simply stay away from peers who pressure you to do things you know is wrong.【5】Better yet, find other friends and classmates.
A.Just believe in yourself.
B.You can tell them 'no' and walk away.
C.Peer pressure is not always a bad thing.
D.This makes it much easier to overcome peer pressure.
E.It's something everyone has to deal with - even adults.
F.It is hard to be the only one who says 'no' to peer pressure.
G.Others go along because they are curious to try something new.
