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(屠殺).
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(標(biāo)準(zhǔn))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

Is the world too crowded? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective(視角).In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world’s population doesn’t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate(比例).That’s in part because in each generation(代) these are more people who then have children than in the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world’s population was under 2 billion(十億).Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now that’s a whole lot of people! Soon the world’s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相當(dāng)于) too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources(資源) the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth’s resources.
【小題1】From the first paragraph we can know that ­________.

A．Montana is too crowded
B．Macao is too crowded
C．the world is too crowded
D．the world is not too crowded
【小題2】The population is increasing fast partly because ________.
A．people live longer than before
B．there are less wars than before
C．medicine is developing faster than before
D．more couples now would like to have children than before
【小題3】What was the world’s population 100 years ago?
A．450 million.B．a(chǎn)bout 2 billion.
C．40 billion.D．7 billion.
【小題4】The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should ________.
A．find more resources
B．use more resources
C．think about our ways of living
D．move to other places
【小題5】From the passage we can learn that the writer ________.
A．thinks the world already has too many people

On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and asked us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”
“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”she replied.  Rose became a college symbol(象征) this year and she easily on her from the other students.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live then out in our daily lives.
