Unit 5 Canada“The True North”一、阅读理解。Do you hear that birds of a feather flock together? It certainly appears that they do. We are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to ourselves. Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people, and rich people with other rich people. Intelligent people associate with like-minded people, and artists typically seek out other artists.It appears that we all have fort zones we attempt to stay within. Very stressed and poor people dont feel fortable associating with rich people. We owe it to each other to be successful because success breeds more success. And if we are not feeling successful, looking at who we have as friends and associates can tell us and others a lot about ourselves and why. The longer we associate with a group of individuals, the more our thinking processes bee like theirs.A few years ago, a doctor friend of mine began associating with a new group of people. At the time, he had a successful practice and a positive and grateful attitude to life. However, within the first six months of his association with these individuals, his attitude and goals changed , he was angry at how things were and was dissatisfied with those whod bee his opposition. He became very stubborn. As a result his practice dropped in quality of service. His facial expressions often showed anger and stress.After about two years of association with this group, he learned some valuable lessons. He realized that always focusing on problems or being dissatisfied with others doesnt lead to a rewarding life, nor does it solve as many problems as it creates. He decided that hed rather get back into serving his patients.This doctor put his heart and soul into his practice, and his life changed again. He began to attract people who focused on solutions instead of problems. His success was now more obvious than his stresshis achievement more obvious than his frustration.Whom we hang out with does make a difference. The old saying If you want to soar (翱翔) with the eagles, dont flock with the turkeys. has a point.1.What does the underlined part birds of a feather flock together in Paragraph 1 mean?A.
