　　Everyone needs friends. They are a basic source of happiness and hope in our lives.

　　However, the ability to make friends varies from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it's very difficult.

　　We all have the ability to make friends. Unfortunately, many people never reach their potential(可能). Making friends is a skill, and the first step in developing that skill is knowing how to get along with others.

　　People who are good at getting along with others take an interest in what other people like.

　　They learn to develop interests that make them enjoyable to be around. Therefore, the more things that your child knows how to do that involve interacting with other kids, the more opportunities he or she has to make friends.

　　If your child has trouble making friends，here are some things he or she can do:

　　*Realize your own strengths. You have skills and talents that others can enjoy. Some people don't let others see their goodness.

　　*Believe that you are a good person who has something to share with others.

　　*Develop a sense of humor. Learn to laugh at yourself and your shortcomings. It will relieve some of the stress in your life. If you ever feel like poking fun at someone, let it be you, never anyone else. Smile, smile, smile.

　　*Respect the rights of others. They have their opinions; you have yours. Different opinions are healthy. Learn how to listen to others without putting them down or trying to convince(说服) them that your opinion is right.

　　*Be kind. Throughout your life, you will learn that if you are kind to others, they will usually be kind to you. When should you start being kind? Right now. Give someone a compliment(恭维). Open the door for someone. Wave to a friend. Encourage someone who is discouraged. Say something positive. There are hundreds of little things you can do to show kindness.

　　*Be empathetic. Try to understand what others are going through. Look at life through their eyes. If you empathize with someone's feelings, you can help.

　　*Don't complain. People get tired of listening to constant whining. Life doesn't always go the way you want. Learn to accept what you can't change, and work hard to change what you can. Replace the time you used to spend complaining with time spent being kind.

　　*Never give up. Even if you are faced with negative, closed-minded people, never give up. Don't let them change you into one of them. Find people who will appreciate you.

D．depends on one's experience

2．The most important thing in making friends is _____.

B．to know other's way of life

C．to be able to get along with others

D．to have your own advantage in life

3．Which of the following shouldn't one do in making friends?

A．To know your own advantages and shortcomings.

B．To be friendly to others.

C．Never accept what you don't know.

D．Never give up before difficulties.

　　　 A.　 Join a Class, Sports Team, or Club

　　　 B.　 Eat alone in Public

　　　 C. Talk to your Neighbors

　　　 D.　 Keep an Open Mind

　　　 E.　 Take Pictures

　　　 F.　 Meet People through your Job

　　　 What could seem like an exciting, fresh new start can also be a huge pain: moving to a new city. Whether you decided to pick up and go because of a job offer, or simply wanted to get away from your old town, moving to a brand new city allows for a chance to start a new----brand new image and all.

　　　 But the big move can also be terrible; especially if you don’t know anyone in the place you now call home.

　　　 So in order to create your new image, you’ll need a whole new crew. Here’s how to meet some of those new people.

61. _____________

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of himself, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “Are you on Facebook?” or “If you’d like I can email it to you.”

This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

62. _____________

　　　 If you don’t know anyone in a new city, it can be tempting to order take-out and retreat back to your lonely apartment or hotel room. Instead, try eating by yourself in public as often as possible.

You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else.

Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

63. _____________

　　　 Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, jogging, Toastmasters (a Public Speaking club), a class for work, martial arts, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

64. _____________

　　　 You’re most likely to meet people at your office, so make sure to chat with the guy who sits at the cubicle next to yours, and try to make casual conversation with everyone from your manager to the guy who fixes the photocopy machine. This is your chance to spread yourself thick and make that extra effort, since you’re still considered “the new guy” and will be getting a certain degree of attention. Use it to your advantage.

　　　 Try to eat at the cafeteria rather than at your desk, and take people up on their offer to join them for lunch or go to the local happy tour; even if some of these people aren’t exactly “your type”, they might have friends that you’d love to hang with.

65. _____________

　　　 You may have never even known your previous neighbors, but home is a great place to start meeting people. There could be a whole pool of cool people in your apartment building or on your street, especially if you’re in the right area. So when you see some one from your apartment building getting their mail or a guy washing his car in his driveway, break the ice by asking a question that shows you’re new in town, like where the local video of liquor store is, and where the hot clubs are. Never overlook those that live next door, as they can always come in handy when you need them.
