24、   Flowers bloom (开花) only if they are planted in rich soil (土壤). We are similarly influenced by our environment. When our environment is bad, we may get sick physically or mentally. When our environment is supportive, we are more likely to thrive.

Which factor (因素) of the environment influences us most? The answer is surprising. It's not the air we breathe every minute, nor the water we drink every hour; it's the people who we relate to every day. Every day we have connections with a lot of people in different situations. Some bring us happiness and provide us with loving support. Others bring us down and make us feel worthless.

I have no doubt that one of the main keys to success is the people we know. It's nice to have people in your life who encourage you to better yourself, and who support you in your effort to make yourself a better person. People whose hearts are big enough to be happy for your success, rather than those who are so proud that they always want to compete with you for success. People who see the potential (潜力) in you, even when you can't see it in yourself. These are the people who you should have on your team and in your life.

So if you really long for success, look back at the people who come in and out of your life. Are most of the people you know supportive or unsupportive? When people around you aren't supportive, what kind of person do you become? Do you become shy, fearful, hateful and unhappy? When you connect with those who are supportive, what happens to you? Do you become open, lively, happy, strong and brave?

Taylor loves music, and her dream is to become a singer one day. Whenever she talks about her big dream, none of her friends ever give her a fist bump (碰拳) to encourage her. Taylor always complains that her friends are not supportive enough but walking away from them leaves her in loneliness. She has no better choice but to keep hanging out with them. However, the more time she spends with them, the worse she feels about herself.

We can all make a mindful decision about the environment around us. Relate more to those who make you happy being "you", or who support you in being "you". If you have to be around those who aren't supportive, then simply accept them as they are, without going after them for more than what they can provide to you.

After all, each person has a seed (种子) in them to be the beautiful and awesome person they want to be. All they're waiting for is that supportive soil to allow them to fully bloom.

【1】The word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A.develop and grow

B.judge and warn

C.mind and care

D.fail and fear

【2】The writer mentions the five questions in Paragraph 4 to show that _______.

A.some people always support what we do, some don't

B.we are included in a certain circle of friends

C.some people give us a sense of success

D.we are influenced by people around us

【3】According to the passage, what could probably help make Taylor's dream come true?

A.She needs to get a fist bump from her friends.

B.She needs to keep hanging out with her friends.

C.She needs to walk away from her unsupportive friends.

D.She needs to continue talking about her dream with her friends.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Saying no to unsupportive people.

B.Letting the seed in you bloom.

C.People around you could shape you.

D.Influence of natural environment.
