The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them 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 (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."

It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.

Attitudes（态度） are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的),_____________If you're always around people who complain about short of work and about other musicians or say bad words about others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.

This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go 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 and learn from them. 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.

1.The musicians' words at the beginning are written mainly to show_______.

A.the musicians live a poor life

阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences. For example, we climbed a high

mountain， tasted a rare food， or ran into a superstar on the street. But new research suggests that sharing these unusual experiences may not be welcomed in conversation.

We all like unusual experiences, and always can't wait to share them with our friends. Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.

However, it was wrong. To be unusual means to be different from other people. And if you do not share similarities with the people around you, they will not welcome you in the conversation. Besides, conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.

To find out, psychologists(心理学家)invited 68 participants(参与者)to come to the lab in groups of four. In each group, one watched a wonderful video of a magic performance, while the other three watched a cartoon video. After watching the videos， the participants sat around a table and had a short conversation.

The participants who watched the magic performance said they felt worse after the conversation than those who watched the cartoon video. That was because they felt left out during the conversation.

This finding suggests that we might want to give more thought in choosing which experiences to share with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has nothing in common with others, then no matter how good it was, it will not make you happy.

1.What kind of topic can make conversations go well?

2.Why did psychologists do such an experiment(实验)?

3.Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends? Why or why not?
