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.

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)

2.In the sentence “After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown.”, the word “unknown” means _____.

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 as ease

C. Don’t talk with those who 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.     

D. You should say something at first.

5.Friendship is based on______

A. meeting for the first time      B. each other’s liking and “give and take”

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
