Most people follow others blindly just because they feel it safe to follow a large number of people. In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd,but in most cases this can be a big mistake. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow the crowd blindly.

According to a study, people often 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 makes more people follow and as a result 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.

Most people act emotionally(感情用事地) without blinking wisely If you always follow others because they’re greater than you in number,then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re taking emotional 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 have doubted the direction they're moving in, then don’t follow them blindly. 34. According to the passage, most people like to follow others because . A.they feel it kind of safe

B.they don’t want to be different D.they want to make good impressions

C.they believe they take the right direction A.It is wrong to follow other people. B. It takes much time to think wisely.

C.You shouldn't be sorry for what you have done. D. You should use your brain before following others 36. What is the text mainly about? A. Results of following others.

B.Reasons for not following others blindly. D. Ways of finding successful people to follow. C

Last summer my son,Eric, left for university in another country. Our once lively house became quiet and lonely.I missed and worried him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning

One of my messages says, “So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless one day you’ll wake up and find yourself lost.”

I did get Eric’s messages, but most of them were about money.I was a bit angry.

They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the white board when he was at home. “I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90.Please help!”

“Money is running short because I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!”

Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles(文章).Some are funny, some

are touching and some make me think.He knows I haven't got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.

I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well-my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher!

So I write back, \"I’ve read all those articles, I’ll take them as a loving son’s hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud(自豪).We parents can’t lean quickly and change in both body and mind Thank you, my son.”

In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we hardly use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm.

42.From the underlined sentence, we can infer that the son often wrote about in the past. A.study articles.

A. giving his mother some things to do B. asking his mother for some more money C. helping his mother keep up with the times D. helping his mother understand young men better
