In every school there is a ‘top’ crowd that sets the pace(榜樣), while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear-bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people’s lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter(屠宰場).

Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, ‘The crowd does it.’ Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, ‘No.’ Make your own judgements(判斷). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You’ll have the satisfaction(滿足)of standing on your own feet.

1.The writer disagrees with wearing red sweaters if __________.

A. the crowd is wearing them

B. you don’t look good in red

C. you can’t afford them

D. there are no school rules

2.The writer tells the readers to __________.

A. obey(服從)their parents

B. take the advice of their elders

C. do what they think to be right

3.People who blindly follow the "top" crowd __________.

A. are rebels(叛徒)without a cause

B. will lose friends

C. have no respect(尊重)for their parents

D. sometimes don't follow their own judgements which may be better

4.The main idea of this passage is that__________.

A. in every school there is a ‘top’ crowd that sets the pace

B. do what the ‘top’ crowd does

C. at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong

D. it is a mistake to follow the "top" crowd blindly.

Nearly everyone wants to be successful. It can be very hard to succeed, though. Here is some advice to help you:

·Plan for success

Wanting success is not enough. You have to plan for it. Ask yourself: How am I going to be successful? What do I have to learn to achieve the success I want? And how long will it take me to get it? These questions will help you plan for your success.

·Form good habits

If you study the lives of successful people, you’ll find that they have excellent work habits. Edison, for example, had a habit of always coming up with new ideas, and this helped him become one of the greatest inventors. Forming such habits can be boring, but useful.

·Never stop learning

Successful people never stop learning. They never say“I’ve learned enough. There is nothing more I need to know.”You have to understand that the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. We live in an ever-changing (不斷變化的) world, and need to be able to keep up with it.

·Let failure motivate (提升) you

It’s okay to fail, it happens to everyone. Michael Jordan, one of the most successful basketball player ever, used to say that his failure were what drove him to succeed. Learning from your mistake is what will put you on the road to the success you want.

Some 1. on having success

Plan for success

Ask yourself some questions to get2. for your success

Form good habits

Never stop 4.

The thought that I’ve learned enough is wrong.
