In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, 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 slaughterhouse (屠宰场).

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 judge (判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.

1. The writer disapproves of 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. your parents disapprove

2. The writer urges the readers to ____.

A. obey their parents

B. take the advice of their elders

C. be independent

D. follow the crowd

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

A. will make themselves happy

B. will lose friends

C. sometimes do things against their better judgment

D. finally become pace-setters in their own right

4. The main idea of this passage is that ____.

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

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

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

D. people who follow the "top" crowd are endangering their lives

5.Which is the best title for this passage?

A. On Being Yourself.　　 　　　　 B. The "Top" Crowd.

C. Follow the Leader.　　　　　　 D. Rules for Teens.

Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."

The right balance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "

Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close—including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships.

"We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually watch a chick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."

1.The author writes the passage to ______.

A. offer some suggestions on how to spend the time after retirement

B. advise couples to develop their separate hobbies

C. warn couples not to be accusing each other

D. give people some advice on how to entertain themselves after retirement

2. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.

A. couples stay together all the time

B. couples express their feelings in a loving way

C. couples be separate

D. wives make many friends

3.It can be inferred that________.

A. many couples are faced with problems after retirement

B. America has a large population of retired people

C. most people join various social groups after retirement

D. playing poker is a popular activity among retired people

4.Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.

A. having dinner regularly

B. holding parties

C. having weekly vacations at the beach

D. having fun playing poker

5.The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.

A. warn the husband not to act as a judge

B. suggest couples have discussions about difficulties

C. suggest how to keep the correct balance

D. require couples to be considerate
