Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions,thoughts,and words of young people. This influence,known as peer pressure,is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do,think,or say? Most of us,children included,feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them,we act like our friends,and listen to their advice,whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends,sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs,but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and,at the same time,responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people. Passage 2
During the rest of sleep,the fatigue of the body disappears. The tired mind gathers new energy;the memory improves;and troubles and problems are seen in better perspective. Some adults require little sleep;others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infant sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily,the amount gradually going less as they grow older. Your students may need twelve hours;university students may need ten. A worker with a physical demanding job may also need ten,whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte,Thomas Edison,and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night. Whatever your individual need,you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine:favorite hour,a favorite bed,a favorite posture,and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably. Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit,it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.
