Tina was the best speed-walking partner I could ever meet. But I could never understand my friend's habit of ________ while we walked.

Together we walked all over the town and even entered a marathon(馬拉松）together，a full 26 miles, but she did give me a list to take with me. She told me that it ________ her a lot. I thought it would just slow us down. I ________ it along to the starting line. Twenty-six cheering ideas, one for every mile.

By the time I finished the second mile, my husband and kids were cheering me on. It just so happened that “ ________ ” was the next one on Tina’s cheering list. I had lots of things to be ready for them.

The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea. But by the time I neared the final mile?

Unlike Chinese people, the ones in the West believe in star signs. Western world has a complete system(系統(tǒng)) of star signs, and they explain them and use them to tell a person’s characteristics and the things they like or dislike. There are a cycle of 12 of them in all. All of them are decided by the date instead of the year of your birth and each of them has its own characteristics.

Sagittarius (射手座) is one of them. Now, let’s take it as an example:

Sagittarius (November 23—December 21)

Sagittarius in short

Sagittarius are fun, loving, generous and very friendly. They seldom tell lies; in fact they’re so open about everything, They have surprising intuitions(直覺) that they should pay attention to. They are pretty clever because they are so interested in everything. They can be a bit rude, that’s only because they’re very honest and will say exactly what they think. They love travelling, fast cars and horse riding. They also love spending money.

More about Sagittarius

Sagittarius are great friends because they are interested in everything and everyone. They are attracted by even the strangest people. With their humour, they are often in a good mood. They can be hurtful to others because they cannot stop speaking what they see as the truth, but they don’t mean to. Money is not their God. Their values are spiritual(精神的) rather than material.

They are hard-working. They are very open-minded about new ideas and love to try ideas out. Usually it does end up working because they have an excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a bad one. One of their weaknesses is not asking enough money for all the hard work they do, because they love doing it.

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.

A. the musicians live a poor life

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.
