问题    In every school there is a " top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their example. Let’ s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters(毛衣). 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 putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led to 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 that you knew was wrong. 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 and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, you should have the courage to bow out gracefully. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
The underlined phrase "to bow out" may probably mean "______".
选项 A、not to take part
B、to make an excuse
C、to feel sorry
D、to be ashamed
答案A
解析 本文旨在鼓励读者坚持自己的标准和判断，避免盲目跟风。根据第二段第四、五句“Well，let the crowd do it，but don’t do it yourself．Learn to say‘No’．”可知，如果大家都在做你明知道是不对的事情，那么你就要学会拒绝，自己不要去做。由此可推知，画线部分所在句表达的意思是：如果你觉得大家正打算做你自己并不赞同的事情，那你要有勇气退出。因此，to bow out意为“退出，不参加”，与第二段第四句中的don’t do it yourself意思一致，即与not to take part的意义最接近。
