I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn't know what to say. For several   37 all I could do was to  38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need   39 with his homework or he was trying to  40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should   41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is  42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had  43
“Most of the fathers had the   44 reacting(反应)as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first  45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  47.It is something all people 48 .What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too  49 we don't all express those feelings.A boy should be  50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how  51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for  52 second.And just before he  53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好),Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”,it wouldn't take me a whole  54 to think of the right 55 .

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I   41  you.” I did not    42  what to say, and I just stood there, looking  43  at him. My first    44   was that he    45  need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all     46  ?”
“Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and   47  what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to    48   more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted(反应) . “Most of the fathers had the    49   response as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first         50    that we try this, I asked the children   51   they thought their parents    52   say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”
Then the teacher   53  , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of    54  . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy   55   tell his father or mother he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is   56   for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.
That evening when my son   57   to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an    58    moment, saying, “Hey, I love you,    59  .” I don’t know if saying that made    60   of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.

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 others, and you play the role of victim, 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 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.
64. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead
B. they’ll influence you
C. they’ll cover your shortcomings
D. they’ll help you achieve your goal
65. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
66. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends
B. come to the right way of making friends
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. arrange the time with your friends properly
67. The passage is mainly written for ______.
A. musicians       B. managers     C. negative people     D. people wanting to succeed
