Cliques can have a positive or negative influence. Because most teens have a strong need to belong, they want to feel that they fit into a group. Cliques can help them meet this need. Sometimes teens feel unsure of themselves, and they use a clique to gain approval of what they wear or how they act.
Cliques can become harmful, however, if they pressure members to behave the same way as the group that may damage their health. Cliques may discourage members from making their own decisions, giving their own opinions, or having other friends who aren’t accepted by the clique. Cliques may even pressure members to act in ways that go against their own values and beliefs, such as lying to parents or teachers. Cliques can also hurt people outside the group. For example, members might make fun of a teen who isn’t in the clique.
If you find yourself under this type of pressure from a clique, here are some actions you can take to improve your situation.
● Suggest other activities. Offer ideas that don’t involve hurting others or putting anyone at risk.
● Find new friends. If staying in the clique is becoming a negative experience, you will be better off with new friends.

Facing the threat of the Internet, the traditional newspaper is thinking about what it can do to meet the challenge. To make teens get into the habit of reading, the French government is considering what kind of efforts it should pursue. It seems that the two questions have nothing to do with each other, but a recent announcement made by French President Nicolas Sarkozy has connected these two issues together. The announcement gives an answer to both of them.
. President Nicolas Sarkozy announced a rescue plan for France" s ailing print media, including measures to save printing and distribution costs. The plan also gives French teenagers a surprise as their 18-year-old birthday gift: France will offer all 18-year-olds a free daily copy of the newspaper of their choice.
"The habit of reading the press should start at a very young age," Sarkozy said, presenting the conclusion after talking to a group of journalists and officials in Paris. The President said the newspapers themselves would provide free copies for 18-year-olds, while the state would cover the cost of delivering them to many thousands of homes.
The plan is an attempt to introduce teenagers, who frequently only get their news online, to the delights of the printed world. A similar idea has been tested by L"Ouest-France (法兰西部报) over the past few years. It offered some 18 to 24-year-olds a free paper once a week for a year. L" Ouest-France reported that 15% of young people wanted to continue with a paid subscription after the year was over.
People in France welcomed the plan which should get more kids interested in current affairs and make reading be a pastime, as well as rescue the newspaper industry.

More Australians are overweight or obese than ever before, and the number is steadily increasing. Around 64 percent of men and 47 percent of women are carrying too much body fat. This means that the chances of obesity-related disorders, such as coronary heart disease(冠心病) and diabetes(糖尿病), is also on the rise. The popularity of crash dieting has caused many misunderstandings about weight loss. Most of these misunderstandings cause unhealthy weight loss behaviors.
A recent research of deaths in the United States from their National Health Nutrition Examination Survey suggests that being overweight may not increase your risk of dying. This finding is contrary to the past research that they thought the numbers of premature death(早死) linked to weight in the year 2000. The findings were that underweight and seriously obese people have an increased chance of dying compared with normal weight people. Interestingly, however, being overweight is related to a slightly lower chance of dying for your age. The effect of obesity on death rate may have reduced over time, perhaps because of improvements in public health and medical care. The authors say that body weight may not be such an important risk factor for premature death and that fitness, while smoking and too much fat in your diet may be more important.
65. If a person carries much fat, he or she _______________ .
A.knows how to keep healthy better than those who don’t
B.should lose weight as soon as possible to keep healthy
C.will surely suffer from both coronary heart disease and diabetes
D.might suffer from some diseases related to obesity
66. The underlined phrase “is contrary to” in the second paragraph probably means ___________.
A. agrees with B. disagrees with
C. proves D. combines
67. According to the recent research of deaths in America, ______________ .
A.underweight people will live longer than those overweight people
B.dying at an early age is connected with overweight
C.being overweight doesn’t necessary lead to premature deaths
D.being overweight is healthier than normal people
68. We can infer from the text that _____________ .
A.the writer wants to persuade people not to lose weight
B.misunderstandings about weight loss are more serious than ever
C.much progress has been made in public medical condition
D.the cause of premature deaths is heavy smoking
The journey to the moon had been the first step toward future exploration(探险) in space. The distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away. Traveling to the planets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous.
Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed(确认) nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星) is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense(稠) and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth , but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care for it.
63. According to the passage, traveling to the planets will be ________.
A. much easier and even more interesting B. far more exciting and dangerous
C. man’s final aim D. man’s first step
64. Which of the following is Not true?
A. Mars is nearer to the earth than the moon.
B. The moon is much nearer to the earth than Mars.
C. Of all the planets, Mars is the nearest to the earth.
D. All the planets are much farther to the earth.
65. From the passage, we can guess_____.

C. the atmosphere of Mars is not so dense as that of Venus
D. scientists will have little hope to find the answers
66. Man can live on under the conditions of _______.
A. much too hot surface B. the same pressure as we get on earth
C. normal atmosphere as we have on earth D. both B and C
One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie hall ,the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound .It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life.
Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction .Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1980 and the official opening night was on May 5,1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon。The building became very old and in 1960,the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stern led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally ,the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
In 1986,people realised that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall "s concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls ,but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium, is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2804 in five levels of seating .Visitors to the top level have to climb up 105 steps to get there!
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall "s history .Question:" How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer:" Practise ,practise, practise."
64..It can be inferred that people wanted to save Cargenie Hall mainly because______.
A.it made a lot of money
B.it was worth visiting
C.many important concerts were held in it.
D.it made some players become famous
65.How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?
A.Through newspaper reports B.Through old concert programmes
C.Through old photographs D.Through old jokes
66.Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?
A.Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice
B.Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practise a lot.
C.Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall
D.Because you don"t expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
67.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Historical events happened inside Carnegie Hall
B.The city of New York paid for Carnegie Hall to be built .
C.Carnegie Hall was finally fixed up in 2000.
