Most people follow others blindly mainly under the effect of peer(同龄人) pressure. Some people also feel it safe to follow a large number of people. In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd (群众), but in most cases this can be one big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow the crowd blindly.　 According to a study, people tend to follow the crowd when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it isn’t right.

A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others’ guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following the crowd makes no sense at all.

Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because

they're greater than you in number, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're

making decisions you might regret later.

However, should we never follow the crowd？No. I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in, don't follow them blindly.

1.What does the underlined word “rare” mean?

A. A small number of.

B. A large number of.

C. The total number of.

D. The same number of.

2.A man who wants to succeed should_____________.

A. follow the crowd

B. follow others’ guidance

C. follow a successful person

D. follow the same path of most people

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Ways of finding successful people to follow.

B. Advantages of making a right direction.

C. Examples of not following others blindly.

D. Reasons of not following others balindly.

We can remember some important times in our lives. Some things have become good memories. The memories are always in the corner of our mind.

When I was in a kindergarten(幼儿园), I had many toys and friends. They made me laugh and cry. The teachers taught us many songs and games. We played all day. Although we did not know what learning was at that time, we were learning every day.

When I was in a primary school, I was excited to learn school subjects. Nearly every subject caught my attention. However, my favorite subject was science. I remembered on the first day our science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully.

When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museums and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting.

Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. I am still learning happily. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but there’s still a long way for me to go. I hope to become a learned(有学问的) person some day.
