Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there．They serve some certain purpose，teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become．You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long﹣lost friend or even a real stranger．But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way．
Sometimes things happen to you．At the time they may seem terrible，painful and unfair．But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties，you would have never realized your further ability and advantages．Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck．
The people you meet influence your life，and the success and failure you experience create who you are．Even the bad experience can be learned from．In fact，they are probably the most poignant and important ones．
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can，for you may never be able to experience it again．Talk to people whom you have never talked to before，and really listen．You should set your goals high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself．
You can make your life anything you wish．Create your own life and then go out and live it．

Once an Englishman named Jack Brown went to Russia for a holiday. He stayed there for several months and then came home again. Some of his friends visited him a few days after he got back. “I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia,” Jack said to them. “I wanted to see a friend of mine in the country and the bad weather made me very late. So I was still traveling through a forest in a sleigh(雪橇) when the sun went down. It was a long way from my friend’s house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh. It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. It was cold, and there were no houses for miles and miles. First I heard the wolves. The noise was terrible! The horses heard them, too. They were frightened and began running faster. Then I saw long, gray forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near us. They were running very fast, and they didn’t seem to get tired like the horses.”
“What did you do?” one of Jack’s friends asked.
“When the wolves got very near,” Jack answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf. The sleigh was moving about, but I hit the animal and killed it. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so our sleigh got away from them for a few minutes.”
“Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.”
“The same thing happened again and again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after about two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following us.”
“Wasn’t it too fat to run?” one of his friends asked. Jack told his friends what happened to him when he was _________.

People who are about the same age as you are your peers. Peers include your friends and your classmates. They have strong influence on your actions. Your peers influence how you think, how you act, and even how you dress. Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.
Sometimes your peers influence you in a helpful or positive（积极的）way. A friend may notice that you have problems in math. And he might invite you to join a study group or show you how to solve a difficult problem during lunch. Such actions are helpful to you.
Sometimes your peers influence you in a negative or unhealthy way. A friend might offer you cigarettes（香烟）．Cigarettes are harmful to your health. Your friend knows that. Your friend also knows that underage smoking is against the law. Yet he or she still makes the offer. This bad influence is negative peer pressure.
Your peers may not always realize they are influencing you in a negative way. For example. a friend might invite you to the movies. You would love to go, but you have a lot of housework to do. In situations like this you should make a wise decision.
