2026年课时特训八年级英语上册外研版第43页答案
Ⅵ. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
①Most people follow others blindly(盲目地) just because they feel it safe to follow a large number of people. In some situations, it might be right to follow the crowd(人群), but in most situations this can be a big mistake. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly.
②According to a study, people often follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction(方向) they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong! This makes more people follow and as a result, most people move in a certain direction even if it isn't right.
③A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same choice of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: Are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful one.
④Most people act on their feelings without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they're greater than you, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're making decisions you might regret.
⑤However, should we never follow the crowd? No. I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a direction. If you have doubts about the direction they're moving in, then don't follow them blindly.
