Sheep always follow each other and never really think about where they are going. Perhaps fashion makes us iinto “sheep”. Maybe we should find our own way and not follow the crowd. Everyone wants to wear top brand clothing. However, we should remember that clothes designers(设计师) study what ordinary people wear on the street. Then they make clothes like ordinary people’s for everyone. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual(个人的) finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable! That doesn’t mean you will. That is to say, a model might look very nice in a shirt but that doesn’t mean you will.
The same goes for mobile phones. Young people are always asking me when to change my mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are always putting new functions(功能) on their phones but do we really need all these extra functions? I use my phone to call people and to send messages to my friends. I don’t need a camera, Internet surfing or a calendar（日历） on my phone. Again, if you buy the latest phone, it will only be the latest phone for a month or so. Then something new will come out and you’ll be unfashionable again. You can’t keep up with fashion all the time, so you don’t need to follow the fashion.
1.The underlined word “sheep” means”________.”
A. people who always follow the fashion
B. a kind of animal which is white
C. honest people who want to be fashionable
D. black sheep which break laws
2.Clothes designers study what you wear on the street because______________.

4.The passage is written mainly to _________.
A. explain what sheep are
B. tell us to buy new mobile phones

5.What can we infer(推断) from the article?

Traditionally, business people would get to know each other over a round of golf. But road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred way of networking recently.
“When you play golf with somebody you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you,” says Peter Murray, a chairman of the NLA centre. “If they’re your customers and you don’t want to beat them, sometimes you might have to make some kind of cheating in order to lose. That seems to me not a good way of doing things.”
Group cycling, and especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience, Mr Murray says. Riders often work together and help each other out, taking turns to be at the front so that the riders in their group can save almost a third of the effort needed to travel at the same speed.
How someone rides a bike can give you a real insight into what a person is like, says Jean-Jacques Lorraine, founding director of Morrow Lorraine, a team member of Cycle to Cannes. “Some riders are very single-minded, others more collaborative; some are skillful, others an open book.” “If I walk into a meeting and somebody says „I’ve done Cycle to Cannes‟, it’s a done deal really,” says Mr Lorraine.
Mr Mottram, CEO of Rapha, believes it is easier to get to know people by cycling than in other situations. “There is an easy environment about conversations on a bike.” Mr Lorraine makes the point more directly: “I feel open and honest to others. I often find I’m saying things on a bike which I wouldn’t normally say, and equally I’ve been confided (吐露秘密) in when I wasn’t expecting it.”
Why do cycle rides lend riders so well to networking? “Getting a quick lunch or drink after work doesn’t give you long enough to get to know someone,” Mr. Murray says. He believes long rides get people together. “A younger rider can be cycling along with a boss and help him in some way and you get a reversal of the relationship. This changes the relationship when they are off the ride too.”
Perhaps the main reason why cycling is a good way to network is that it’s a passion (激情) and a way of life. “Getting out on the bike is what we’re all dreaming of doing while we’re sitting at our computers,” says Mr. Mottram. And a shared passion is a fantastic way to start any relationship.
1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.
A. golf is a sport full of cheating
B. cycling is less popular than golf
C. deciding on winners in golf is hard
D. golf might also have disadvantages
2.In Paragraph 4, Mr. Lorraine thinks that ______.
A. getting a quick lunch after work helps get people together
B. telling what a person is really like by cycling is a way of life
C. riders need to volunteer to be at the front to save their energy
D. it’s much easier for people to make a deal if they are all riders
3.Which of the following is TRUE about cycling?
A. Businessmen used to prefer cycling to golf.
B. Cycling is a good way to get to know people.
C. Group cycling is always a long-distance riding.
D. It‟s not acceptable for the riders to talk on the bike.
4.What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Cycling.
B. Two Good Ways of Networking.
C. Cycling Is the New Golf.
D. Cycling Develops Fast.
