About 663 of those messages were found later But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists People send out such messages for many reasons Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal Others write down secrets hoping that the waves will wash them away And still other people just write down some jokes songs or anything else they think might be fun There are even online messages in bottles People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ The reasons mad ways might be different but the goal is always the same to reach out and try to connect with someone This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long In 1988 the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling As the song s lyrics say we are a hundred billion castaways 被抛弃者 looking for a home When will you feel relieved 释然的 A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore Seems I m

rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd but in most cases this can be a big mistake In fact there are reasons why we shouldn t follow the crowd blindly According to a study people often follow the crowd when they aren t sure about the direction 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 A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others guidance and he usually follows the same path 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 However in real life you ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people and that s why following the crowd makes no sense at all Most people act emotionally 感情用事地 without thinking wisely If you always follow others because they re greater than you in number then sooner or later you ll discover that you re taking 第 12 页 共 19 页 emotional decisions you might regret later However 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 decision If you find others are right there is no problem in following them but if you have doubts about the direction they re moving in don t follow them blindly 1 According to the passage most people like to follow others because A they feel it kind of safe B they don t want to be different C they believe they take the right direction D they want to make good impressions on people 2 Which is right according to the author s opinions A It is wrong to follow other people B It takes much time to think wisely C You shouldn t be sorry for what you have done D You should use your brain before following others 3 What is the text mainly about A Results of following
