I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he

made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

"Depend on(依靠) yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

　　There have been many men in history.  But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon themselves for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well known.

　　One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself."

　　Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement(成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

1. Which of the following titles fits this article best?

A. What Nature Says to Every Man.   B. How to Be Famous.

C. Men Must Help Each Other.        D. Depend on Yourself.

2.According to the famous teacher in England, a teacher can________.

A. make his pupils worthy men 　

B. help his pupils find a way to be famous

C. help his pupils make themselves useful men

D. make his pupils men of strength and courage

3.From this article we can learn the writer ________.

A. sings highly praise for parents and teachers   

B. is a man of strong character

C. thinks highly of those who are struggling or success

D. feels it the most important of all to accept the advice of others

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

"I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韻律)."

"Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."

One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."

I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.

Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive (積極的) or negative (消極的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming (責(zé)備) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support (支持) your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".

There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.

Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

1.The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is there to show that ______.

A. musicians’ living conditions are not good

B. people in that town have poor taste in music

C. young people are more likely to succeed

D. different people have different attitudes

2.The underlined part "they’re all rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6 means ______.

A. they’ll push you ahead

B. they’ll help you realize your dreams

C. they’ll keep you from moving on

D. they’ll have an influence (影響) on you

3.Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?

A. He is more active than the others.

B. He can earn more than the others.

C. His attitude is more positive than the others.

D. He has more things to do than the others.

4.We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.

A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend

B. one should avoid (避免) making friends with people who have lots of difficulties

C. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful Friends

D. one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
