Making friend is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing（樂意） to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.
Join a club or group, talking with those who like the same things 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 away. 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 self-confident(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, 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”. They take time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
小題1:If you want to meet people and make friends, what should you do?
A．Join a club or group.B．Talk with those who like the same things.
C．Join someone in some activity.D．All of the above(上面)
小題2:In the sentence “After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown.”, the word “unknown” means _____.

A．Shake hands with others
B．Accept yourself as you are, and put the other as ease
C．Don’t talk with those who don’t like.
D．Walk tall and straight.
小題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.
D．You should say something at first.
小題5:Friendship is based on______
A．meeting for the first timeB．each other’s liking and “give and take”
C．keeping self-confidentD．facing the unknown

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:B

Dear sir,
I read your story (of the 4th February) about the cost of living in the country rather than in the town, and I agree with most of your opinions.My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago a seaside (海邊) town of nearly five hundred thousand people.When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and there is no doubt (疑問) that our costs are higher now.
I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarkets; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the television or the washing-machine, have to come further, we have to pay them more.
But it does not cost us much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap.It takes many people a lot of time and money to drive into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door.It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton, but now life really is worth (值得) living.
Yours faithfully,
Edith Randall (Mrs)
小題1:Horlton was __________.
A．a(chǎn) very big city
B．a(chǎn) small village beside the sea
C．a(chǎn) town of nearly 500,000 people
D．a(chǎn) small village at the foot of Roland Hill
小題2:It costs more to live in the country because __________.
A．the men who mend the television have to come by bus
B．food costs more in small shops
C．the television goes wrong more often in the country
D．Mrs Randall has to travel by bus to the city supermarket
小題3:Although it costs less to live in a town, __________.
A．life is more worth living in the country
B．we can’t enjoy the beautiful view
C．it costs more to live in Horlton
D．life is worth living only when you live in a small village

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learnt French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,”he exclaimed (驚呼).“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”
“Oh!”he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!”
小題1:When the writer arrived at the airport, he wanted to _____.
A．buy a ring for his friend B．a(chǎn)sk the way to his friend’s

小題2:The old man thought _____.
A．the writer wanted to find a phone box

A．understood what the writer wanted to do
B．couldn’t understand the writer
