Peer pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one. For example, hanging out with active peers may lead kids to 36 more, making a child’s social network a vehicle for promoting healthy habits and 37 obesity unconsciously.
The scientists studied networks of a group of students aged 5 to 12 and 38 how the youngsters’ made and dropped friends, and 39 effect these changing relationships had on their physical activity level.
In fact, children 40 their exercise level little by little to better 41 those in their circle; children who 42 with more active students were more 43 to increase their physical activity levels, 44 those who befriended more sedentary(久坐不动的) children became 45 active. The children were mirroring, following or adjusting to be 46 to their friends before they knew it.
The encouraging 47 suggest a potentially effective way to change children’s behavior. 48 relying only on organized exercise programs to get moving, perhaps introducing sedentary kids to more active ones — might help more kids 49 the couch.
It’s believed that this is a possible novel approach to obesity 50 . The social environment does carry more power than we have given it 51 for, so we should make use of that intentionally to influence kids.
52 that children are increasingly connected to one another, 53 through face-to-face interactions or virtual ones, their 54 networks can clearly have a deep effect 55 many aspects of their behavior-help kids in the long run by turning them into healthier adults.

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?

Computers might not be clever enough to trick adults into thinking they are intelligent yet, but a new study, led by Javier' Movellan at the University of Califomia San Diego, shows that a giggling (咯咯笑的) robot is clever enough to get toddlers (初学走路者) to treat it as a peer (同龄人).
The researchers stationed a 2-foot-tall robot Called QRIO in a classroom of a dozen toddlers aged between 18 months and two years. QRIO stayed in the middle of the room using its sensors (传感器) to avoid bumping (碰撞) into the kids. It was programmed to giggle when the kids touched its head, to occasionally sit down, and to lie down when its batteries died.
"We expected that after a few hours, the magic was going to disappear," Movellan says. "That's what was found with earlier robots." But, in fact, the kids remained interested in the robot over several weeks, eventually communicating with QRIO in much the same way they did with other toddlers.
The researchers measured the relationship between the children and the robot in several ways. Firstly, as with other toddlers, they touched QRIO mostly on the arms and hands, rather than on the face or legs. For this age group, "the amount of touching is a good predictor of how you are doing as a social being," Movellan says. 
The children helped the robot up when it fell, and when QRIO's batteries ran out and it lay down, a toddler would come up and cover it with a blanket and say "night, night". However, when QRIO was programmed to spend all its time dancing, the kids quickly lost interest. When the robot went back to its old self, the kids treated it like a peer again.
"The study shows that current technology is very close to being able to produce robots able to develop a special relationship with toddlers," says Movellan. But, he adds, it is not clear yet whether robots can interest older children or adults in the same way.
1. What does the underlined word "stationed" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hid. B. Observed. C. Placed. D. Named.
2. At the beginning of the experiment, researchers .
A. feared that the robot would harm the toddlers
B. programmed the robot to move freely about the classroom
C. expected the robot to communicate with the toddlers
D. thought the toddlers' interest in the robot wouldn't last long
3. Kids aged between 18 months and two years behave
as social beings by.
A. giggling B: touching C. toddling D. dancing
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Giggling robot becomes one of the kids
B. Giggling robot used as a classroom assistant
C. Giggling robot makes kids more active in class
D. Giggling robot attracts more attention from kids

Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)．
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature（成熟）, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds（关系） with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”， someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
【小题1】The common belief of adults is that boys________.
| A．don't care about others as much as girls |
| B．don't value friendship as much as girls |
| C．have the same friendship as girls |
| D．have healthier friendship than girls |

| C．boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls |
| D．boys may be more active in a friendship |
| A．widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people |
| B．shift his focus from his friends to himself |
| C．leave his parents out of his friendship |
| D．be confused about what a friendship is |
