II.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

A

As children enter their teens, they usually begin to pay more attention to their peers(同龄人)or friends. Peer pressure can be direct or indirect, but is almost always present. Learning to deal with peer pressure makes a teen mature (成熟的), and able to get along well with others.

Bad peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something that they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, or using drugs (毒品), which can remain with them into adulthood. This is the main reason teens have to learn how to deal with it.

Some of the things you can do to deal with peer pressure include:

. Choose friends who share your values. Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self.

. Keep away from situations where people are doing things you don't want to do.

. Think about your reasons for doing things. Are they good reasons? Are you being true to yourself and your values?

. Practice ways of saying no, giving excuses if necessary.

. Talk to your parents, or other trusted adults about the kinds of peer pressure you face, and listen to their advice.

. Let the adults know when you need help getting out of a bad situation, and don't know what to do about it.

Remember that if just one teen stands up to peer pressure, usually others will join him or her. Learning to deal with peer pressure will make you confident and mature.

Michacl, Rae, Jequita, Alice, Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common:

They all love animals so much that they're driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter.

The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter,

help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray(流浪)pets.

The shelter, at 12300 Wayne Road. opened in June 2011 and operates on money raised in the community. To date, bingos and other fund raising activities have brought in more than $ 177, 000, according to community leader William Wadsworth, but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet.

"Without their help, this building would not be an outstanding place."Wadsworth said."Their lime and devotion is beyond what I ever expected. And I thank them all."

The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers, Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff . who spend much of their day patrolling(巡逻) the city and housing stray dogs and cats. The two, both with 32 years of experience, count on the public to be the eyes and ears of the shelter. They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter.

That's where the volunteers come in. They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption. They clean cages, play with the animals, feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks. They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms.

"We couldn't do it without them,"said Ratcliff."They come in and go right to work. We depend on them a lot. They help run the place,"added Hall.

A. To raise enough money for the stray pets.

17. A. Because it has just opened for one year.

B. Because it has too many stray pets.

C. Because there are only two animal control officers.

A. they are living near the shelter

B. they have rich experience in caring animals

C. they love animals very much

D. they can raise some money for the shelter
