I remember ____ the company only owned a small shop.

　 A. when　　　　　 B. how　　　　　　 C. whether　　　　 D. what

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

Attitude is important．Whether they’re positive ole negative，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

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 goalor dream．
