You will be late!" You reach school and again the same words "Hurry up!" do not let you rest in peace.Throughout the day, it is a mad rush. One period gets over, the other starts and you are ready for the second subject. When you forget to do your homework, you try to sit at the hack and pretend to be looking for something on the floor or in your bag. You are lucky if you are not seen and it is bad luck if you get caught. if you are not lucky, be ready for a goodscolding during break or after school. If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood, you may be left with a warningHowever, school is not so dull all the time; the games, library periods and break are welcome time. When you can relax, joke and have fun with your friends. There are some teachers, too, who can make school very exciting. For example,Mr. Taneja, has a typical style of talking, making us always hooked on the playground.School can be fun, real fun. when picnics and field trips are organized. We wait for them eagerly and keep on requesting our class teacher to organize one for us. Debates, quizzes, cultural programmes also add luster to an otherwise dull school life. Fun increases after real hard work and you tend to enjoy more than those who had been lazy and have wasted their time I think this period of your life is the most wonderful period -full of dreams and hope.1.

Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class, take the quiz and all? Or do you give in and go with him?People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it's called peer pressure. It's something everyone has to deal with-even adults.Peers influence your life, even if you don't realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. Its only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or you got others excited about your new favourite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.It's difficult to say “ no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no? too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust-a parent , or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.4. With the author's words in the first paragraph, what is the kid doing? A.

But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us.Parkour practitioners(跑酷爱好者),however,see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs since they jump,climb,roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground. The International Gymnastics Federation(FIG)has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone,according to the Guardian and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024. But parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as "a lifestyle” wrote the website NextSportStar.“It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport."Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressureIt's great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.8. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?A. They move on as they wish B. They plan the way themselves C.

It's good for people to keep healthy. D. It needs some rules and instructions. 10. What is the author's idea on parkour?A. It is more formal than other sports B. It helps people to be creative. C. It's worth adding to the sporting event D. It calls on people to work as a team 11. What is the best title for the passage?A. A new sports competition B. Parkour practitioners C. Training in a different way D. Making the city their ownDForget about the"post-1995 generation". Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English-Generation Z.They are entering adulthood and will soon shape our future, which is why policy makers,as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen-Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. Social media has changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process information. They read news from Twitter, watch videos from Vine, share experiences in Instagram and post recipes in Pinterest."We are the first true digital natives.I can almost simultaneously create a document,edit it,post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone, all from the user-friendly iPhone,"said Hannah Payne,an18-year-old UCLA student. lt is noted that young people in the U K are becoming more active in Politics.Young people regard voting as one option among many to show their political engagement that can potentially influence policies. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism(女权主义) or climate change And "much of the engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures," according to the Guardians.Gen Z-ers are also culture creators.Growing up with the internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression. They are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules."We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it," wrote Masback, a Huffing ton Post blogger and a Gen Z-er herself.12. What does the underlined phrase "pin down" mean in Paragraph 1?A. Cooperate with. B. Firmly convince. C. Clearly understand. D. Communicate with.13. What is special about the Gen Z-ers' engagement in politics?A. It's topic-specific.B. lt stresses social response.C. lt's party-based.D.It has an immediate effect.14. What can be inferred about the Gen Z - ers from the last two paragraphs?A.They enjoy great freedom to express themselves.B. They are unwilling to obey their parents.C. They are rooted in traditional culture.D. They are addicted to social media.15. What is the author's attitude towards Gen Z-ers? A. Worried. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Appreciative.二 、七选五阅读（每小题2分，共10分）Some people are naturally better than others at social activities.
