Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game's easy. So don’t spend the time on it,” one of your friends says. The others agree. 1.

You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer (同伴)pressure, also called peer influence（影響）. You will take on a certain kind of behavior, dress, or attitude(態(tài)度) in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers “. As a teenager, it is possible for you to have experienced the influence of peer pressure in a number of different areas.

2. For teenagers, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.

According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teenagers are very quick and correct in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think .3. In a recent study, teenage volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks（冒險(xiǎn)） teenagers took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teenagers may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are very angry.

4. A teenager might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study or try out for sports.

5. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.

A. We are all influenced by our peers at any age somehow.

B. Though you are always influenced by those around us, it is you that are always the final decision-maker.

C. Although you enjoy the game very much, not wanting to agree with them, you go along with them in the end.

D. Just as people can influence us to make foolish choices, they can also influence us to make good ones.

E. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers.

Drugs（藥物）come in different ways. However, can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs? A team of scientists from England say that it can come true. They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside. These special drugs can help with some kinds of illnesses. Until now, they have made two kinds of drugs. One drug can deal with skin problems and the other can deal with a nerve disease(神經(jīng)性疾病).

Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites. These drugs are made of proteins which can be found in animals’ skin, hair, milk and meat. The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites. In this way, the chickens can stay healthy.

Besides egg whites, drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep. Compared with cows and sheep, the special chickens have ascendancy over them. First, they are cheaper to raise. Second, they need less room and grow faster.

These special chickens can pass on their drug-producing ability. So far, five generations of the special chickens have appeared. But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect. It’s said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years.

B. It’s mainly about a natural ability of chickens.
