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(标准) 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. 【解题导语】 文章通过几个钢琴家的对话引发了对交什么样的朋友的思考,作者认为应该交态度积极的朋友,可以对自己有好的影响。 1.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
