BAND 1 Test 3Passage 1Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their example. Lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters (运动)。Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are endangering their very lives .They are like sheep being led to the slaughter(屠宰).Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life .In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong .You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself.
