As one of Hollywood’s all-time greatest actress, Audrey Hepburn is famous all over the world. When Hepburn died in 1993, the world mourned the loss of a great beauty, a great actress and a great humanitarian (慈善家).

Born in Belgium on 4th May 1929, Hepburn dreamed of becoming a successful ballet dancer. She had also been a model before she entered the film industry. In 1951, while acting in Monte Carlo Baby, Hepburn met the famous French writer Colette, who was attracted by Hepburn’s beauty and charm. She insisted that Hepburn was the perfect girl to play the lead role in Gigi, a play based on her novel. That event marked the beginning of Hepburn’s successful career.

Shortly after, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of a young princess in the Hollywood film Roman Holiday. It was a big success and earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. She also won a Tony Award for the play Ondine.

During her lifetime, Hepburn earned four more Oscar nominations (提名). In 1989, she made her final appearance in her last film Always and played the role of an angel.

Throughout her acting years, she acted in only one TV series, Gardens of the world with Audrey Hepburn. By showing us the beauty of nature, Hepburn wanted to remind us that we should protect the environment.

Hepburn is remembered not just as a great actress, but also as a great humanitarian. She was honoured with a number of awards because of her efforts in her charity work. In 1992, the President of the United States presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.

Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?

According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers think of them—that is “peer influence”.

As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.

In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.

Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?

As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.

But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”

31. What does the lined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?

A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct.

32. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text?

A. They like difficult tasks.

B. They don’t care about costs.

C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.

D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.

33. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) ________.

A. use more self-control

B. become more careful about what they do

C. act better than when they are alone

D. focus more on short-term benefits (利益)

34. What can we learn from the text?

A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.

B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.

C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.

D. Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.

35. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?

A. By comparing something to something different

B. By giving examples.

C. By showing research findings.

D. By presenting an in-depth (彻底的) analysis (分析).

C

I had too many possessions.    41   . I had shelves with dirty books I had never read and CDs I didn’t listen to. My drawers were filled with clothes I never wore. I got upset that I never had any space in my bedroom. Then I read about minimalism (极简主义). Minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important objects and get rid of (处理掉) everything else.    42   .

Then I started clearing out a lot of belongings I didn’t use. I collected bags of clothes to give to charity. I sold some of the CDs and books online. Although I knew that I would never need these objects again, I still found it very difficult to get rid of them.    43   . I said to myself “I might need that in the future!” or “Won’t I be sad if I lose that?” But the thing was, I knew I couldn’t keep all of them. Finally, I managed to get rid of something unnecessary.

   44   . An organized bedroom also helps me have a clear mind! The main idea behind minimalism is to cut down what you own and really value everything you have. It’s not easy to be a minimalist. Of course, I’m not a perfect one--I’ve only just started.    45   .

A. My brain tried to stop me from letting them go.

B. After reading about minimalism, I was encouraged to solve my problem.
