The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of peer pressure (同伴压力). It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 146 way as a larger group. This 147 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 148 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 149 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you ” 150 it is not necessarily true.
For certain individuals, 151 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and 152 their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 153 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 154 the peers.
155 , peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 156 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one.
Although peer pressure is sometimes quite 157 , some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 158 . Instead, people should seriously consider 159 they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests They should also consider whether the real 160 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life.

“Jiwa” is a popular Chinese Internet 161 , which means parents get too much pressure (压力) to their children. The parents ask the kids to take 162 in a lot of after-school classes because they want children to 163 harder and get better grades. But real education is about helping children grow freely, not just studying hard. Here are some wise parents’ ideas.
Pauline Einstein, mother of Albert Einstein, knew how to 164 her child. When Albert’s teacher said he 165 Maths and suggested he leave the school, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she told little Albert, “Your curiosity about the Science is 166 than any formula (公式).”
This boy, once called “stupid (愚蠢的)”, 167 one of the greatest scientists ever. Nancy Edison, mother of Thomas Edison, knew it’s okay for kids to 168 . When her son started a fire while doing an experiment (实验), neighbors said he would kill the family. 169 Nancy smiled and said, “At least he knows oil isn’t water.” Thomas later made 1,093 inventions (发明)!
