　　A MENTORING(导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

　　Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

　　Alex Goldberg，the program's founder，said：“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”

　　“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example，we've secured internships(实习) with world­famous firms such as Honda.”

　　“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring，it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14，is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛)．

　　The event was held for young people from around the world，to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop，it was amazing，” he said，“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”

　　The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues(问题) such as drug abuse，violence and unemployment.

　　Kieran said：“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”

　　The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

　　I’d always dreamed of exploring Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan（《人猿泰山》）comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari（东非游猎）and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky（漏的）roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.

　　It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.

　　I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.

　　It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.

　　Why did the author go to Tanzania to celebrate his 60th birthday?

　　He was curious about what Africa was like.

　　He was concerned about the Africans’ miserable life.

　　He wanted to get an idea of the area’s wildlife.

　　He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country.

　　After his tour to the school, the author found that the kids there were ________.

　　in need of help

　　not interested in studies

　　not used to the rainy season

　　in low spirits

　　What is the main purpose of Kids of Kilimanjaro?

　　To make sure the African kids are mentally healthy.

　　To spread knowledge among the African kids.

　　To build new schools for the African kids.

　　To protect the African kids from hunger.

　　What is the correct sequence of the following events?

　　“I” founded “my” first company.

　　“I” founded Kids of Kilimanjaro.

　　“I” read “my” first Tarzan comic.

　　“I” moved to San Francisco.

　　a, c, d, b

　　Your peers are people your age or close to it who have experiences and interests similar to yours. You and your friends make dozens of decisions every day, and you influence each other’s choices and behavior. This is often ________ --- it’s human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.

　　Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something you’re uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.

　　The pressure to conform（随潮流） can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless--- or something that has more serious consequences.

　　People may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. When people are unsure of what to do in a social situation, they naturally look to others for cues（暗示）about what is and isn’t acceptable.

　　The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone else’s lead first. Then others may go along, too --- so it can be easy to think, “It must be OK. Everyone else is doing it. They must know what they’re doing.” Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd --- perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.

　　Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature --- but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist and stand their ground.

　　It’s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure. But when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterwards. And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way --- often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation.

　　Which of the following is a kind of peer pressure?

　　Your teachers give you a lot of homework.

　　Your parents expect high scores from you.

　　Your classmates persuade you to cut class.

　　Your relatives invite you to attend a party.

　　Which is most likely to be filled in the blank in Paragraph 1?

　　negative

　　impossible

　　positive

　　uncertain

　　Most people tend to do what others are doing in order to _________.

　　feel a sense of achievement

　　get a feeling of being accepted

　　set a good example for others

　　stand out in a crowd

　　What can we know according to the author?

　　Giving in to peer pressure is unavoidable.

　　Peer pressure usually leads to serious results.

　　Going along with the crowd usually means making a right choice.

　　Everyone can make a difference by resisting negative peer pressure.

　　This passage is mainly about _______.

　　thoughts on peer pressure

　　different types of peer pressure

　　ways to deal with peer pressure

　　the influence of peer pressure on people
