29、apples,” I said.Grandfather looked as though he were going to laugh again, but he didnt.At the cash registers, Grandfather paid his money. Nobody said much.

35、that she doesnt wear the same one twice. ” Like Danielle, you probably know whos really popular at your school. Theyre the trendsetters (引领潮流者）.and everyone else follows their lead.The standards of the in-crowd differ from culture to culture and even school to school. Nevertheless, teens worldwide w
36、orry about popularity. As people grow from children to adults, looking for support from peers (同伴)is normal, explains a psychologist at the University of North Carolina.Being popular has certain benefits. Popular kids often enjoy plenty of party invites and dates. Along the way, they develop social
37、skills and learn how to get along in different situations, too.Being a trendsetter can also be exciting. Thats especially true if that status (地位)is used for a positive goal, such as making school a more welcoming place. “ It is my hope that popular teens will choose to be the superhero rather than
38、the villain,” says psychologist Leanna Closson.Popularity can have an unpleasant side, though. “ Amy is very self-centred and complains about petty things,” notes Danielle. “ She makes fun of other people and is in general not an all-around nice person. ” Eric M. says the popular crowd acts the same
39、 way at his high school. “They act really mean on the outside to make themselves seem better than everyone else, ” says the 16-year-old.If being both popular and unlikable seems strange, think about how some teensespecially girlstry to boost (吹捧)their status. They dont just pick on unpopular kids; t
40、hey often aim at the middle and higher popularity levels. Teens may secretly hope their popularity will rise if they knock down possible “competitors”. Even if that makes them more popular, in the process they may make themselves less likeable.10Achieving popularity doesnt promise happiness, either.
41、 Our study of New England teens found that high-status girls were more likely to have symptoms of depression (沮丧 )after high school. Feeling you always have to act a certain way to stay popular can be stressful, suggests Antonius Cillessen of the Netherlands Radboud University. “ Keeping status is l
42、ike walking on your toes all the time,” he says. “ Its hard work.”53. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. An in-crowd is mostly made up of girls.B. Amy belongs to a less-than-cool group.C. Danielle is popular because of her hair style.D. Trendsetters set the trend for others to follow.54. What does
43、 Leanna Closson hope to see?A. The in-crowd will develop better social skills.B. Popular teens will influence others positively.C. Popular teens will take part in more competitions.D. The in-crowd will work hard to achieve popularity.55. What is the best title of the passage?A. School Competitions：
44、Yes or NoB. In-crowd at School ： Dos and DontsC. School Trendsetters ： The Good and BadD. Being Popular at School ： For or AgainstDIts no secret that reading is helpful. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the influence of literature (文学 ）on overweight teenagers, research
45、ers at Duke Childrens Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue. It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts (儿科专
46、家）to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease (fall) in their BMI scores (-. 71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadnt (+. 05%) , explained Alexandra C. Russell, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study.“ As a pediatrician，I cant count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful
