When I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “Meat loaf for supper!”

Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.

It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches (素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.

Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.

We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes (條紋) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”

1.When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.

A. moved B. nervous

C. awkward D. proud

2.What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?

A. Words of love.

B. Famous words of wisdom.

C. Pictures of their pet and flowers.

D. Eggs painted with hearts.

3.It can be inferred that ________.

A. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.

B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.

C. the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.

D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions--like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are 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.

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. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

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; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is tough to be the only one who says “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.

You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.

1.For whom is the passage most probably written?

A. Students. B. Parents.

C. Teachers. D. Doctors.

2.In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.

A. explains why friendship is so important

B. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure

C. discusses how peers influence us

D. shows how to make more good friends

3.Which of following may help handle peer pressure?

A. Spending more time with classmates.

B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.

C. Choosing friends with no bad habits.

D. Helping others who are in trouble.

4.What is the topic of the passage?

A. Friendship B. Making decisions

C. Self-confidence D. Peer pressure

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains（遺址). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year are in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts(度假勝地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30, 000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold, rainy in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

1.The writer seems to imply(暗示) that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______.

A．they want to see historic remains

B．they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy days

C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous places

D．they are interested in different cultural and social customs

2.According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

A．Italy. B．Greece

C．France. D．Spain.

3.The underlined part in the last sentence in paragraph 3 means ______.

A．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists

B．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist

C．every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country

D．every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year

4.According to the passage, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A．Polluted water. B．Crowded buses.

C．Rainy weather. D．Traffic jams.
