Making friends is a skill. Like most skills,it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends,you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.

Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.

  Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all,meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

  Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are giving an opinion about us―finding us too tall or too short,too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept (接受) yourself as you are,and try to put the other person at ease (不拘束) .You'll both feel more comfortable.

  Try to keep selfconfident (自信) even when you don't feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers,such as a new classroom. Walk tall (趾高氣揚) and straight,and look directly at other people and smile.

If you see someone you'd like to speak to,say something. Don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.

  Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person―friendship is based on each other's liking and "give and take". It takes time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

(   ) 1. If you want to meet people and make friends,what should you do?

   A. Join a club or a group.

   B. Talk with those who like the same things.

   C. Join someone in some activity.

   A. things that are not known about   B. without somebody liking

   C. unfriendly   D. unpleasant

(   ) 3. How do you feel more comfortable when you are with new people?

   A. Shake hands with others.

   B. Accept yourself as you are,and put the other at ease.

   C. Don't talk with those whom you don't like.

   D. Walk tall and straight.

(   ) 4. If you'd like to speak to someone,what should you do?

   A. You should wait until the person says something.

   B. You should stay home alone.

   C. You should cough until the person notices you.

  Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren't very smooth rub together to make heat energy.

  You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia. They appear on TV,in books and in the shops. The government even plans to put them on passports (護照) .Although it's the best loved animal in Australia,millions of kangaroos are killed every year. Why,people ask,do the Australians kill them? Quite simply,there are too many of them.

  The number of kangaroos in Australia is believed to be 20〜25 million. It is as much as 7 million more than the number of people living in the country.

  There are several reasons for the growth in the kangaroo numbers. There is plenty of water in the places where kangaroos live and many of the dingoes―dogs that like to kill and eat kangaroos,are not there any more.

  Kangaroos also produce (繁殖) the young all the year round. When a female kangaroo gives birth (生育) ，she gets pregnant again immediately (馬上) .

  The large number of kangaroos means some kangaroos don't get food to eat. They are so hungry that they break into farms and fight against other animals for food.

  To solve the problem,the Australian government allows a certain number of kangaroos to be killed each year.

  Many people don't think that it's right to kill kangaroos,but the government thinks that it is only helping the farmers.

(   ) 2. The reason for the killing of kangaroos is that         .

   A. people don't like them   B. farmers are hungry

   C. they kill farmers   D. there are too many of them

(   ) 3. From the passage we learn that         .

   A. there are more people in Australia than there are kangaroos

   B. all people like the idea of killing kangaroos

   C. only people eat kangaroo meat

   D. dingoes lived in the same place as the kangaroos before
