【推荐1】“Come on! Who wants to go to take that quiz? All of us are cutting（逃）Math. We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. At this moment, do you know what is the right thing to do and choose to go to Math class to take the quiz? Or do you give in and go with them?
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
It is difficult to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it.
This can help you know the right thing to do. You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.”
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you trust. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
| A．Peers can have a positive influence on each other. |
| B．It’s something that everyone has to deal with—even adults. |
| C．Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. |
| D．But sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消极的）ways. |
| E．Pay attention to your own feelings and thoughts about what is right and wrong. |
【推荐2】Some people are worried that wearing masks will have a bad effect on children’s ability to learn language and socialize. Even parents often worry about how a school year without smiles might negatively (消极地) influence their children. These worries are understandable, but are they true?
According to Dr. Danovitch, a research psychologist, who studies the cognitive (认知的) and social development of children, wearing a mask at school could improve certain social and cognitive skills, helping to strengthen abilities like self-control and attention. Take language learning as an example. It’s true that masks cover our mouths and that seeing mouth shape and movement helps babies learn language. But leaning how to communicate involves a lot more than mouths. Looking at eyes is at least as important as looking at mouths to understand the people you are looking at and what they are trying to express. Children also make use of other signs to figure out what new words mean and what other people are thinking. A classroom full of people wearing masks is a great chance for children to practice paving attention to those signs, such as a classmate’s tone of voice or a teacher’s body language.
Wearing a mask can also help teach children to pay more attention to their own bodies and physical behaviors. Keeping a mask on over the course of a school day involves the kind of self-control that many children find challenging. Needless to say, children will not always be perfect at keeping their masks on, but they have to be mindful of when their masks are slipping down or when it is OK to take them off. The research on self-control suggests that children who master the skills needed to keep their masks on will grow up to be better at achieving their long-term goals.
Perhaps most importantly, wearing masks during a pandemic (流行病) is a chance for children to practice caring for their community. A recent study shows that children understand the spread of illness better than ever. Wearing a mask gives young children the ability to do something to help protect other people. For older children, mask-wearing is a way to teach them about duty and sacrifice (牺牲). They believe that it feels good to make sacrifices for people in need. Saying that the discomfort and inconvenience of mask-wearing are forms of caring and public service might encourage children to address other social problems in their lives.
In fact, how children feel about wearing masks at school, and how much they benefit from wearing them, are going to depend on how the parents, teachers and caregivers around them present the topic. Masks are hopefully not here to stay, but while they are still necessary, we should make the most of them.

【推荐3】American teenagers hear it all the time from their parents, “Are you listening to me? Turn down that music or you’ll hurt your ears.” A new study has found the parents may be right.
The study has found that many young people in the United States do not hear as well as they used to. One out of five American teenagers have some hearing loss. That is a 30% increase in the past fifteen years. One out of twenty teens have a large hearing loss. That is a fifty percent increase.
The study has also found that boys are more likely to have hearing problems than girls. The age of the teens had no influence on their chances of a hearing loss. The researchers say they are not sure why some teenagers are losing their hearing. Not enough studies have been done and more are needed. Some say the reasons may be found in their diet or in their DNA. Others believe that listening to loud music on MP3 players with earphones is the main reason.
Researchers think that some teenagers do not realize that they are listening to music at very loud levels. Researchers suggest parents stand next to their children while they are wearing earphones. If the parents can hear the music, the sound is too loud. Teenagers should set the volume (音量) control on their music players to somewhere between one half and two thirds the highest level, never louder.
Even a small hearing loss can influence a child’s social development. Communication skills and grades in school can also be influenced. Doctor Eavey says, “What we are seeing is a big jump in the chances of hearing loss in a very short time.”

【推荐1】The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or foreign countries. They also make their children take after-school classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. In the countryside, even poor parents are willing to buy computers for their children.
But in fact, the best early education that parents can give their children is usually very cheap. They should teach their children the most important skills to help them become confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching children practical skills like cooking, washing and doing other chores. Teaching children to cook will improve many skills that they will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking skills, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a great dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him interested. He will spend hours looking at them and trying to fix them. Perhaps your child will become an engineer when he grows up because these activities can teach a child to think. And that is the most important.

【推荐2】China introduced the “double reduction” policy (双减政策) in July last year. What do middle school students think of it now? Here are some students’ opinions on how their life has changed under the policy.
Li Xiang, 13, Beijing
The “double reduction” policy really helps me. Our homework is clearly less than before. I can finish it at school so that I don’t have to take it home. I can now review (复习) or preview (预习) schoolwork when I’m home. We don’t need to buy workbooks anymore and the exercises are mainly from the textbook. I’m also happy to find that there are fewer exams.
Zhang Xiaoming, 14, Shanghai
The best thing about the “double reduction” is that we have more time to do after-school activities such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called “leadership development”. I can learn all kinds of useful skills there. Teachers are also giving us more chances (机会) to learn from real life. For example, I learned to grow vegetables by myself during a labor class.
Chen Meng, 13, Chongqing
I have got more time to read books I like and play sports. The art subjects are becoming more important. For example, I have been learning music for a long time. Now I feel more encouraged (被鼓励的) to do so. However, we can no longer see the scores after each exam. For sure, I do feel less stress without knowing them. But at the same time, I don’t know what level (水平) I am at, which makes me a little worried.

【推荐2】Do you ever wonder why you can go over a book again and again and still be lost when tested on what you read? It may be because you haven’t practiced remembering.
Remembering is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening; some by re-reading; and others by using pictures and diagrams (图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information.
But a recent study from Purdue University says that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment.
“Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge ‘in memory’,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about retrieving (回忆). So it is important to make retrieval play an important part in the learning process.”
The researchers studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method is called concept mapping (概念图). The other group put the text away after learning it from memory.
Then, both groups were tested on the information they had learned. Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information.
However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who made diagrams scored better than the group who did not. So by drawing concept maps, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us to study.
Our mind, just like our body, has to practice activities to become good at them.

During this special festival holiday in China, everyone will wish you a great health and a lot of happiness. It’s so happy to get together with families and friends. Food is everywhere, whether family events or dinner parties. Having big meals so many days will make you unhealthy. Nothing is more important than the health. How can you get both of them?
Plan your day in the morning and think about some healthy food you want to eat. If you are going out for lunch or dinner, watch the menu (菜单) ahead of time so you can get an idea of what you may order.

【推荐3】What is the future of AI（人工智能）? Will it be a good thing? We asked four students what they think.
Tina：I believe AI will be more useful in our future lives. It's now used in many fields, like phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I'm sure AI will help us solve many problems.
Bill：I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at a high speed. Humans may be replaced because AI robots will do lots of human jobs.
Mary：I really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live. And the way we think. Imagine if we could put a CPU inside our brain! Soon we'll be able to improve our math and memory. How exciting!
John：Think of what's happening right now. Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders. The media often gives the impression that human-level AI of the sort we see in sci-fi movies is just around the corner, uncomfortably close. I think the killing-decision thing should not be given to the machine. Otherwise, Al will be very dangerous for humans. We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do.
