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.
B. you don't look good in red
C. you can't afford them
B. take the advice of their elders
C. do what they think to be right
B. will lose friends
C. sometimes don't follow their own judge which may be better
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
B. The Top Crowd.
C. Follow the Lead.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
