11．1．Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they're following the wrong group．
2．A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars （毛虫） looking for food．He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar，forming a circle without end or beginning．Out of habit，the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation．In fact，plenty of food was close at hand，but it was outside the range of the circle，so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path．
3． For example，if someone shouts，"Fire!"many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it．How many stop to ask themselves：Is this really the best way out of here？
4．Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom，achievement and success． A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong．People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun，stars and planets travelled around the earth．Both ideas are now considered ridiculous，but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers．
5．It's a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go．Success only favors those who think outside the box．

76．What is the best title for the text？（no more than 8words）Successful people rarely/seldom follow others．或Success favors those who stop and think．或Successful people always do things on their own．

80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5into Chinese．人们应该时而出列，观察队伍是否在沿着想要去的地方行进．．

8．Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops．New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize．
Kristy vanMarle，professor of the University of Missouri，has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown，infants（婴儿）are able to quantify substances（物质）-like sand or water-as early as 10months．As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough，infants will choose the larger amount，especially when it comes to food．
With the assistance of her team researchers，vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups：one containing a small amount of food，and one containing a larger amount．Consistently，the babies chose the larger amount．
"Several studies throughout the last 15years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see； however，infants don't seem to count things like water or sand，"vanMarle said．"What we're saying is that they can quantify substances； it's just much harder．The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories．They decide which amount is larger，and they almost always select the larger one．"
This information further refutes（驳斥）the long-held idea that babies"know nothing of the world，"vanMarle said．
"Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures，we've discovered a lot of early abilities．I think for parents，it should be exciting to know that there's somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world，and that knowledge is guiding their development，"vanMarle said．
In the future，vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child's progress in math-related skills，although programs marketed to increase those abilities，such as"Baby Einstein，"still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study．

A．choose between different substances   B．get much knowledge of the world
