I love you,第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The expression，"everybody's doing it，"is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure．It is a strong
influence of a group，especially of children，on members of that group to behave as everybody else does．It can be
positive or negative．Most people experience it in some way during their lives．
People are social creatures by nature，and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self﹣respect comes from the
approval of others．This instinct （天性） is why the approval of peers，or the fear of disapproval，is such a
powerful force in many people's lives．It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another
way at work，or to answer"fine"when a stranger asks"how are you？"even if it is not necessarily true．There is a
practical aspect to this：it helps society to function efficiently，and encourages a general level of self﹣discipline
that simplifies day﹣to﹣day interaction．
For certain individuals，seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction； in order to
satisfy the desire，they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong．Teens and young adults may feel
forced to use drugs，or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior．Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to
cover up illegal activity at the company where they work，or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the
desire to buy a house or car that they can't afford in an effort to"keep up with the Joneses．"
However，peer pressure is not always negative．A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to
study harder and get good grades．Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team
win．This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs，or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad 71． 72． 73． 74． 75． 76． 77．

bye.” English words and expressions like these are getting popular.They have already become part of our daily
language.And 239 English words have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.
The inclusion has started a heated discussion.A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint over the inclusion of
these English words，which，they think，goes against Chinese language policies.They not only worry that Chinese is
borrowing an increasing number of English words but are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of theChinese language.However，others are in favor of the inclusion because it is hard to say whether it will threaten the
Chinese language.They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function and use in daily life.
