The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Friends are the most important in one’s success
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed
C. How to make friendship last for ever
D. You are who your friends are
The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll help you achieve your goal
B. they’ll push you ahead
C. they’ll influence you
D. they’ll cover your shortcomings
The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. young people have greater chances of succeeding
B. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
C. people have poor taste in music
D. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. arrange the time with your friends properly
B. improve a lot in making more friends
C. come to the right way of making friends
D. develop a better relationship with your friends
The passage is mainly written for ______.
A. people wanting to succeed B. musicians

Women work harder than men at university and get better degrees as a result, according to a study at Brunel University.
?? The research, which followed 200 students for four years, found that women consistently outperformed men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost identical A-level grades.
?? An analysis of the results showed that while 65 percent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 percent of male graduates did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research showed that trend continued at university.
?? Fiona Smith, who led the research, said, “The research shows that the difference has something to do with schools in general.”
?? “It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion. Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, but they still receive less pay.”
?? The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
?? Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
?? In contrast, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
?? Generally, people think that women’s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
?? Dr Smith said, “Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated (男性主导的) environment they will encounter at work. Good grades are viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work.”
?? “This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education,” he said.
