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 (責(zé)怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), 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 (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) 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.

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

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed

B. How to make friendship last for ever

C. You are who your friends are

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

The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.

A. they’ll push you ahead

B. they’ll influence you

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

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

The passage is mainly written for ______.

It is understandable that many of today’s college graduates view themselves as the generation that opportunity forgot.

This fall, I interviewed 85 recent graduates of various colleges to discuss their success in finding a job. Of those I interviewed---many from famous schools ---only five are in the career fields they prepared for; the rest are unemployed or in jobs that are temporary. Graduates with once-marketable degrees in accounting and computer science, for example, now compete with applicants who have five years of experience and will accept the same entry-level salary.

　 Mainly because there are too many applicants for too few jobs, employers are ignoring resumes that once commanded interviews. But in my work as a management consultant, I find that many executives also feel that recent graduates have contributed to a problem: that young people have been so pampered (縱容) by their parents and are so untested academically that they bring little value to today’s demanding workplace.

　 Some of the least judgmental, most supportive managers I know are criticizing recent graduates for poor quality in their written and oral reports, and for difficulty in drawing essential facts from masses of data. Earlier generations faced this criticism as well, but employees flooded with resumes have now become far more selective than their predecessors (前人).

　 Among all the cruel talks about unemployment, little is said about the impact on the nation’s future of a generation convinced that the workplace has little use for it. This generation must regain its confidence if they are to remain the birthplace of ideas, products and services that shape world.

The quickest way to rebuild that confidence is to form partnerships between recent graduates and the companies that will employ them.

　 Corporations, in turn, should consider investing in training and developing a generation they will eventually need. High-potential graduates for whom there isn’t an immediate opening could be hired, not as unpaid interns(實(shí)習(xí)生) but as salaried trainees given three to six months to prove their value in a series of assignments. Those who don’t seize the opportunity can quickly be dismissed. Trainees should be given guidance to help them avoid the small missteps that can damage a career before it starts.

61. Why do today’s college graduates consider themselves as being forgotten by opportunity?

A. There are fewer jobs than they expected.

B. Many of them are not employed or in steady jobs that they want.

C. They are not as confident as the previous graduates.

　 D. They don’t know how to seize opportunities.

62. What is the attitude of the employers towards so many resumes?

　 A. Careful　　 B. Favored　　 C. Positive　　 D. Ignoring.

63. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

　 A. College graduates bring no value to a demanding workplace because of their lack of experience.

　 B. The young generation can be the birthplace of ideas, products and services that shape the world.

　 C. Graduates with higher degrees are more competent than those who have rich work experience.

　 D. Most high-potential graduates can immediately bring benefit to companies.

64. What is the quickest way that recent graduates can deal with their awkward condition?

　 A. Form partnerships between recent graduates and the companies.

　 B. Act as mentors for the older generation in order to improve their abilities.

　 C. Ask their managers more questions and learn more from them.

　 D. Make every effort to get training and practice.

65. What should corporations do to help graduates in their careers?

　 A. Dismiss them if they find graduates incompetent.

　 B. Hire them as unpaid or low-paid interns.

　 C. Invest in training and develop their potential.

　 D. Persuade the older generation to tolerate their missteps.
