4．In every school there is top crowd that sets the pace.while the others follow their lead．For examp——青夏教育精英家教网—

In every school there is"top"crowd that sets the pace，while the others follow their lead．For example，if the crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters，then very soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters．
There is nothing wrong with that，except the fact that for some people bright red sweater is really unsuitable．
The situation can even become dangerous，if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink and to drive cars at seventy miles an hour．Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives．They are like the sheep being led to the slaughter（屠杀）．
Now it's possible that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life．In fact you probably did something you knew to be wrong one time or another．You may have excused yourself by saying，"Gee，the crowd does it．"Well，let the crowd do it，but don't do it yourself．Learn to say"No"．
Develop your own standards（标准）and your own judgment．If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to，you'd better take the courage to bow out in a polite way．You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet．

At first the Internet was only used by the government，but，in the early 1970s，universities，hospitals and banks were allowed to use it，too．However，computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use．By the start of the 1990s，computers became cheaper and easier to use．Scientists had also developed software that made"surfing"（浏览） the Internet more convenient．
