　　第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；，每小题2分，满分40分 ）
　　第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
　　A
　　Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
　　But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
　　Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
　　Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
　　Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
　　Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
　　Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).
　　Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
　　Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
　　Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

　　“Come on! All of us are cutting math. Who wants to take that quiz? We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to math class, take the quiz? Or do you give in and go with them?
　　People who are at your age, lir classmates, are called peers（同龄人）. When they try to influence you how to act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure（压力）. 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. It’s 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 favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消极的） 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 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. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk
