Kids and Ponds
Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local
ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer
they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to
go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for
the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.One day. a
thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local
newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over
a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door
and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名)to stop the
development A group of citizens met and decided to support him.
At the meeting of the town planning board (会),the boy was quite nervous
at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends
and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their
favorite ponds,his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that
they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should
leave enough space for children. A few days later,the developer stopped
his plan.
Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed
that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again
appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness,
he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on
development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology
to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built,
but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those
kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land,and are still there today.

任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
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 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
