【題目】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 (樂隊) 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（態(tài)度） are important. Whether they're positive(積極的)or negative (消極的), they're rubbing off on you. 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

B. people have poor taste in music

C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing

D. young people have greater chances of succeeding

【2】 The underlined sentence "they'll rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6. means_______.

A. they'll push you ahead

B. they'll have an influence on you

C. they'll cover your feelings

D. they'll help you succeed

【3】By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can_______.

A. improve a lot in making more friends

B. plan the time with your friends properly

C. develop a better relationship with your friends

D. come to the right way of making friends

【4】 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. You are who your friends are.

B. How to make friendship long.

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D. Friends are the most important in one's success.

【題目】We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give a successful speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you’re frightened. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(結(jié)巴)over words, you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. You can do the following things to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(場合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your listeners. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. They will enjoy your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your listeners and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your listeners.

If you follow the simple things, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not confident yet. Give it a try and see what happens.
