24、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 (乐队) 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(态度) are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的),_____________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.

25、Micro blogs like Weibo are nothing new for the young Chinese. A newspaper in Chengdu did a survey last month. It found that 90 percent of junior high school students use micro blogs.
They give students an outlet (出口) for emotion. “I use micro blogs to record my life. I let everyone ‘see’ my feelings and complaints (抱怨),” said Liu Fangyue, 14, from Xiamen No. 1 Middle School. They have fun with classmates even after school. “I would send a message to praise someone who came first in the exam,” said Liu.
Teachers also join in the fun. “When I sit down to talk to my students, they may not tell me their real thoughts,” said Lu Dongping at Nanning No. 2 Middle School. “But on micro blogs, they are more relaxed. They even make fun of me.”
You would be wrong if you think micro blogs are all about fun. Zhong Yun from Xiamen Haicang Experimental School sees it as a tool (工具) to learn English. The 13-year-old girl follows foreign stars such as Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber.
“In order to understand their English posts, I have to check the dictionary and learn many new words,” said Zhong.
“Micro blogs widen students’ perspectives (观点), but there are rules to follow,” said Shi Zhongying, a professor from Beijing Normal University. He shares some of them with micro bloggers.
“Manage your time, and don’t let micro-blogging affect your studies and health,” said Shi. “Don’t give out your name, family address or phone number on micro blogs. You should also respect (尊重) truth and other people’s privacy (隐私).”

26、Spring Festival, Chun Jie is the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar. When Chun Jie is coming, people are busy buying goods, cleaning the house, cooking traditional food, making Spring Festival couplets, and hanging spring festival pictures. Dumplings are essential to the dinner. Dumplings means reunion and goodwill. The whole family gather to enjoy quality family time. On Chun Jie, Lunar New Year’s Day, people in new clothes visit each other, and give money to kids to send good wishes. During Chun Jie holidays all kinds of celebrations are held, including temple fairs, performances, a lantern show which lasts nearly half a month.
The Qing Ming Festival is a day of reverence for Chinese. People hold ceremonies for ancestors, and sweep their tombs (墓) on April 5th every year. According to tradition, during the Tomb Sweeping, people put food in front of the tombs, add new soil on the tomb. Now it is a public holiday in China. Although ceremonies have changed a little with time. Chinese still express their sadness for the dead.
In ancient times, there was a great poet called Qu Yuan. He couldn’t stand the pain when his motherland was invaded, so he drowned himself in the river. Local people drop the rice balls into the river to take away fishes’ attention from Qu’s body. Later people memorialized Qu’s patriotism by rowing and making Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwujie. That’s how the tradition of dragon boat racing and eating Zongzi started.
The Qixi Festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day, falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar. It says that a fairy named Zhi Nv, who lived in heaven, fell in love with a cow herder named Niu Lang during her trip to earth. Zhi Nv decided to settle down on earth and lead an ordinary life with Niu Lang.
Just like an ancient Chinese poem says, the moon was rising from the sea and all the people were sharing this moment ...
