12、知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。分析Allen的话“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldnt lose heart for not finding this easy”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平衡点就灰心丧气。故选 B。4C 考查推理判断。根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that 3teens who get along with their friends may
13、 end up healthier as adults”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C 项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人” ，符合文章意思，故 C项正确。根据最后一段第一句“Getting along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks”可知，与朋友相处有好处，但是也有一定的缺点，故 A项与文意不符；B 项错在“the most” ，D 项错在“only”，都太过于绝对。二、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式
