阅读理解。
In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the model, 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.
