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

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

       When you are hungry, what will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?      But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, or “Why can’t I think?”

           Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．

       When you read a book, of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．    Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams！

       This is nothing but creativity．     Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

       So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．    Go and get a book!

       A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．

       B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

       C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．

       D．Now what are you waiting for?

       E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading．

       F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．

       G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary．
