22、DCome on-Everybodys doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also
23、 be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials usethe power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host ofexample of the social cure in action: In South
24、Carolina, a state- sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-preventioninitiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safesex among their peers.The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer
25、. Her critique of the lameness of many pubic-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits,and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology. Dare to be different, please dont smoke! pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among
26、 teenagers-teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincinglythat public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is fil
27、led with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biologicalfactors that make peer pressure so powerful. The most glaring flaw of the social cure as its presented here is that it doesnt work verywell for very long. Rage Against the Haze failed once state fundingwas cut
28、. Evidence that the LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.Theres no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influenceon our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits-as well as negative ones-spread through networks offriends via *munication.
29、This is a subtle form of peer pressure : we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. Its like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in
30、 the back row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And thats the problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN6.According to the first paragraph, peer pressure of
31、ten emerges as .?A. a supplement to the social cure?B. a stimulus to group dynamics?C. an obstacle to school progress?D. a cause of undesirable behaviorsABCDSSS_SIMPLE_SIN7.Rosenberg holds that public advocates should.?A. recruit professional advertisers?B. learn from advertisers experience?C. stay

35、 to abide by the strict nuclear regulations.Instead, *pany has done precisely what it had long promised it would not challenge the constitutionality of Vermonts rules in the federal court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant running. Its a stunning move.The c
36、onflict has been surfacing since 2002, when the corporation bought Vermonts only nuclear power plant, an aging reactor in Vernon. As a condition of receiving state approval for the sale, *pany agreed to seek permission from state regulators to operate past 2012. In 2006, the state went a step furthe
37、r, requiring that any extension of the plants license be subject to Vermont legislatures approval. Then, too, *pany went along.Either Entergy never really intended to live by *mitments, or it simply didnt foresee what would happen next. A string of accidents, including the partial collapse of a cool
38、ing tower in 2007 and the discovery of an underground pipe system leakage, raisedserious questions about both Vermont Yankees safety and Entergys management-especially after *pany made misleading statements about the pipe. Enraged by Entergys behavior, the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 last year agai
39、nst allowing an extension.Now *pany is suddenly claiming that the 2002 agreement isinvalid because of the 2006 legislation, and that only the federal government has regulatory power over nuclear issues. The legal issues in the case are obscure: whereas the Supreme Court has ruled thatstates do have
40、some regulatory authority over nuclear power, legal scholars say that Vermont case will offer a precedent-setting test of how far those powers extend. Certainly, there are valid concerns about the patchwork regulations that could result if every state sets its own rules. But had Entergy kept its wor
41、d, that debate would be beside the point.*pany seems to have concluded that its reputation in Vermont is already so damaged that it has nothing left to lose by going towar with the state. But there should be consequences. Permission to run a nuclear plant is a public trust. Entergy runs 11 other rea
42、ctorsin the United States, including Pilgrim Nuclear station in Plymouth. Pledging to run Pilgrim safely, *pany has applied for federal permission to keep it open for another 20 years. But as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviews *panys application, it should keep it mind what promises fro
