  “No one is an island” is a well-known line from John Done’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago.Even now people still agree with him.No one can live a completely isolated life.Without other people, life became empty and sad.We all need to have friends.

  For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish, we may not want to make the first move.It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

  There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous.This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller.It was later put into 28 languages.

  Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple.But can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.

  1.Be friendly and polite.

  Always greet with a smile.Begin with “excuse me” or “would you mind” when you want to ask somebody.Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.

  2.Go out of your way to be nice.

  Find some time to do special things for other people.Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

  3.Remember names.

  They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.

  4.Be open-minded.

  Try to understand other people’s way and ideas and learn something from them.

  5.Listen patiently.

  When someone is talking to you, look at her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.

  Nowadays, everyone tends to use EZ link card for transportation.

  Normally, when you get on board the bus, you flash your EZ link card and move in and when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus).We all know that if we forget to flash the card, full fare will be deducted(扣除)from the card.

  Below is something not known to public:

  If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card, the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare, thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances.For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East)and decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered.If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver, a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×$1.90=$3.80)instead of one fare.This is useful information.

  Here’s the solution:

  Go to the “big” machine(i.e.machine for you to top up the card)located at the MRT stations.

  1)Insert your EZ link card

  2)Press the function key “Check card”

  3)Press “more”

  The above function will show you Information of the last 20 transactions(交易)on the screen.Please pass this e-mail to people you know so that they will not pay extra charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets

  Last but not least, call the hotline:1800 767 4333 when the incorrect fares are deducted.

1.If a passenger had flashed his EZ card twice in one bus ride and it later showed that he had paid twice as much as he actually should, it suggested that _________.

(Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________

2.Why does the author ask readers to pass on this e-mail to their friends?(Please answer within 10 words.)

  One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

  Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country.They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

  There are many different types of beer available in pubs.Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature.As a result, the British are famous for their“warm beer”! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager.This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown.All beers are served as pints(500 ml)or halves(250 ml).To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer.So, you could say “________.”

  Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.

  It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol.Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks.You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.

  If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your “round”.This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group.Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

  So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”
