The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

"I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律)."

"Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."

One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."

I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.

Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive (积极的) or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming (责备) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support (支持) your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".

There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.

Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

1.The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is there to show that ______.

   A. musicians’ living conditions are not good

   B. people in that town have poor taste in music

   C. young people are more likely to succeed

  D. different people have different attitudes

2.The underlined part "they’re all rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6 means ______.

   A. they’ll push you ahead                                      

   B. they’ll help you realize your dreams

   C. they’ll keep you from moving on                      

   D. they’ll have an influence (影响) on you

3.By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.

   A. improve your ability to make friends

   B. make the right kind of friends  

   C. develop a better relationship with your friends

   D. make some new friends with the same interests as you

4. We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.

   A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend

B. one should avoid (避免) making friends with people who have lots of

difficulties

   C. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends

   D. one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
