Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers (陌生人). So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.

When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.

In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before    26  every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never    27  . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and
fatty food,    28  . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a    29   sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,   30   he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile    31   his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he    32  very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the    33   of a happy old age.”
“I hope you don’t    34   me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do    35   I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for   36  ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was    37   . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did    38   wrong. She thought he should be    39   and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life    40   eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”
