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 each other. 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 each other 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 him 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 mind from what she 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. Pay 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.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Peers have a good effect.
B. Children give in to peer pressure.?
C. Peer pressure is hard to stop.
D. Peer pressure.?
The underlined word “shoplift” probably means to_______.?
A. do shopping B. carry goods for shops?
C. steal in the shop D. take the lift upstairs in the shop?
The writer will NOT agree that_______.?
A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure?
B. peers have an effect on each other?
C. peer pressure can be got rid of ?
D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them?
The writer intends to _______ by writing the passage.?
A. warn peers to separate from each other?
B. tell peers to follow others?
C. show it is hard to walk away from peer pressure?
D. persuade peers to do what they think is the right thing??

No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let’s take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with fanning. He planted seeds, tended the fields» and harvested and sold his crops. At the same lime, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁) , or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about fanning and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made fanning easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like fanning himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow far one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the $hop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr, Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand yean; ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeeper« would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the product they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people's attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such b person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today's world.
41. What probably led to the start of advertising?
A. The discovery of iron. B. The specialization of labor.
C. The appearance of new jobs. D. The development of fanning techniques.
42. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright ______.
A. praised his plows in public R. placed a sign outside the shop
C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop D. showed hut products to the customers
43. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to ______.
A. explain the origin of advertising B. predict the future of advertising
C. expose problems in advertising D, provide suggestions for advertising
44. In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who ______.
A. owned a ship
B. had the loudest voice
C. ran a shop selling goods to fanners
D. functioned like today's TV or radio commercial
45. The last two paragraphs are mainly about ______.
A. the history of advertising B. the benefits of advertising
C. the early forms of advertising D. the basic design of advertising
