He was a dishonest official during the Sui Dynasty but a loyal one during the later dynasty. When Pei worked during the Sui Dynasty, he often said things that would please Emperor Yangdi(隋炀帝). He never disagreed with the emperor's ideas, even though he knew they might be wrong. He knew that the emperor liked fighting, so he suggested fighting many wars. This, however, led to Sui's downfall. The wars cost too many human and material resources.When the Tang Dynasty began, Pei started to work for the new government. He seemed to be a totally different person. Instead of flattering(奉承) Emperor Taizong(唐太宗), he always spoke out against his wrongs. He helped the emperor make the right decisions.Why did Pei change? According to Chinese historian Sima Guang, it wasn't really Pei who really changed. Emperor Yangdi hated criticism(批评), but Emperor Taizong loved to hear frank(坦率的) suggestions. That made the difference.We can learn from the story that the environment(环境) makes a difference. A good environment makes you do good things, while a bad one may take you the other way. We should also try to put ourselves in a good environment where we can meet good teachers and friends.41. What does the underlined word "loyal" in the first paragraph(段落) mean?A. 谦虚的    B. 清廉的    C. 忠心的    D. 爱说话的42. Pei Ju changed himself because _________ .A. he loved Emperor Taizong very much    B. he was afraid of making mistakesC. he knew Emperor Taizong was an honest person  D. he hated flattering others43. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. We will be better when we have more true friends.  B. There are no perfect(完美的) friends around us.C. We can't live without teachers and friends.   D. The environment can change a person a lot. BIf someone said they'd pay you1,800 dollars to stay away from social media(社交媒体) for six years, would you do it?

If he completed, she would give him the money on his birthday. On February 19, 2022, Sivert got his prize.Sivert said it wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and he didn't think about it much during the six years. As a 12-year-old boy, Sivert said he wasn't using social media very often. "I wouldn't say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break," he said. "As it went on，it was more of an interesting thing." He also had his friends talk about the latest information or trends. "I said no to all the unnecessary things happening around. " Sivert added. It also meant he had more time for schoolwork and sports instead."We are not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it." Lorna noted. "It's about not letting yourself feel sad and worried about it, or affected(影响) by things that people share.""It was affecting their lifestyles," she said.

I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of being himself bravely, most of them are firmly(坚定地) taking one another's hands for reassurance(安慰).They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧)  into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has successfully made a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and should be. And many of today's parents have come to speak highly of the popularity of their children. All these adds to a great barrier(障碍) for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share with your classmates at once.  well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are.
