阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Who says you have to stay indoors when the temperatures drop Here are favourite places to explore this winter.
Athens, Greece
In Athens, every November temperatures stay around the mid 20s, so have a trip to the Parthenon and Acropolis. A full afternoon is also necessary for exploring the Museum of Cycladic Art and its exhibitions — recently it has hosted Picasso's.
In the streets of the Pysrri district is a hidden hole in the wall, from which one can go down to the basement restaurant, Diporto.
Huaraz, Peru
To some, Peru gives people images of students in printed shorts on a tour of Machu Picchu. There's obviously so much more to do in the UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site. Any hike through the surrounding Huascaran National Park will make you feel like you've stepped into TheLordoftheRings.
April and November are considered“shoulder season”, which means fewer clear days but you can enjoy the trails (路线) with fewer people.
Edinburgh, UK
Yes, it's probably going to be freezing cold. Hot coffee steam up in a pleasing, romantic fashion in cafes. People can take a few minutes' walk from the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
For simple Scottish dishes there's neighbourhood inn, the Little Chartroom. And the Sheep Heid Inn has been long enough to have served Mary, Queen of Scots. In the eight bedrooms at the 18th century Rock House, each is a mixture of ancient details and current fashion.
Valletta, Malta
Flights from the UK to Malta's capital are only around £30, making it one of the best destinations for a November trip. This tiny city has a temperature of 17 or so and has changed itself into a year round city break with artistic cafes, hotels and newly opened galleries — Muza opened last year and houses the former National Gallery collection.
21.Which place has exhibited Picasso's works lately
A.Muza. B.National Gallery.
C.The Museum of Cycladic Art. D.Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
22.Which of the following is the coldest in winter
A.Athens. B.Valletta. C.Huaraz. D.Edinburgh.
23.What is special about Rock House
A.It served the Queen of Scotland. B.It combines ancient and modern styles.
C.It has at least eight kinds of rooms. D.It offers Scottish local specialties.
B
Jerry was born on October 14, 1966.Shortly after birth, he was discovered to have a heart defect (缺陷) and quickly had an operation to save his life. Although he always thought his childhood to be “normal”, there were quite a few things that made him a little different. He couldn't do heavy farm work like his brothers and his classmates called him “grape juice” because his lips would turn purple in gym class.
After another operation, Jerry went on to live a very full life. He studied in a technical school and met his love after graduation. They married in 1989, and in 1993, the first light of Jerry's life was born.
Growing up with Jerry as my dad was the greatest blessing of my life. He was always full of life and light, making anyone around smile. He never wanted to draw attention to his medical condition. Even many of his close friends and co workers were unaware of his heart problem. To all of us he was just a normal guy — that was just the way he wanted it.
I didn't know or understand my father was sick until he was placed a pacemaker (心脏起搏器). Despite several times of unconsciousness, and 19 days' stay in ICU, he managed to celebrate Christmas with us and even work as usual. With his wide laugh, I soon adjusted to a “new normal” father. The progress and life, as we now know, came to a__grinding__halt one night after he came down with a cold.
He was picked up by a helicopter. The nurse said my dad was in good spirits throughout the trip, cracking jokes and making her laugh. When he was unloaded, his eyes rolled back and was unresponsive. The man who loved his life and family was gone.
My dad taught me many lessons. But probably the most important one was in his death. I know as I celebrate his incredible life, he will be looking down on me with smile.
24.What's Paragraph 1 mainly about
A.Jerry's family and friends.
B.Jerry's first operation.
C.Jerry's birth and childhood.
D.Jerry's love for life.
25.What is “the first light” of Jerry's life
A.His graduation. B.His marriage. C.His brother. D.His child.
26.What does the underlined phrase “a grinding halt” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.A sudden stop. B.A turning point.
C.A bright stage. D.A quick recovery.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.Smile at Death B.Silent Love from Father
C.Grow up Against Heart Defect D.A “Normal” Father with a Big Heart
C
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn't the dull colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
28.What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1
A.Consequences resulting from forest loss.
B.The significance of paper in daily life.
C.The disadvantages of current paper production.
D.The severe situation caused by papermaking.
29.Why is paper in landfills harmful
A.It releases smelly gases. B.It results in global climate change.
C.It pollutes the nearby land. D.It may lead to fire accidents.
30.What can we know about paper recycling
A.It produces cellulose to make more paper.
B.The structure of cellulose makes it possible.
C.The color of recycled paper is different.
D.It produces cellulose without using trees.
31.What's the purpose of this text
A.To introduce paper recycling technology.
B.To stress the threat of global warming.
C.To appeal to people to recycle paper.
D.To describe the considerable need for paper.
D
Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you came into it in the first place I couldn't agree more when I read an article from LiveScience that stated, “There are several types of memories, and the brain has a unique way of forgetting each kind.” Memory does some funny things. While forgetting is a normal and vital part of our brain function, we have to admit that memory can be a mysterious and naughty joker. One of the most common mysteries is a short term memory failure where people find themselves entering a room with no memory of why they did so.
Everyone has experienced this at least once in their lives. We call it a “senior moment”, but researchers say it's actually okay to put the blame on our doorways and not on our ageing brains. The act of walking through a doorway sends a signal to our brains that a new scene has started and that previous memories should be put away. This is what causes our memory failure and confusion. The thoughts we had before we entered that new scene have actually been sectionalized (分区). In an interview with LiveScience Gabriel Radvansky, a psychologist at the University of Norte Dame said, “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind.”
I find this amazing, as I watch it happen to people all around me every day. I guess I should stop telling them they're getting old and actually explain the cause. For me it's not doorways that cause a problem. It's flights of stairs. Every so often I find myself going up the stairs and forgetting why I did so just as soon as I've reached the landing. What's up with that Now if I can only find out what that means, I'd be truly fascinated.
32.What contributes to our “senior moment” according to the researchers
A.Ageing brains. B.Doorways.
C.Different moments. D.The same scenes.
33.Which of the following is Radvansky likely to agree with
A.Walking through a doorway makes us nervous in the mind.
B.Sectionalized thoughts disappear when we enter a new scene.
C.Too many events in life are harmful to our brain memory.
D.Exiting through doorways causes short memory failures.
34.What may confuse the author
A.Whether he should explain the cause to others.
B.How much he was fascinated by science.
C.How many people suffer from doorway problems.
D.Why going up the stairs makes him forgetful.
35.What's the main idea of the text
A.Short memory failures do have scientific reasons.
B.Our brain has several types of memories.
C.Everyone has a unique way of forgetting things.
D.Psychology theories can help us improve memories.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are a lot of reasons why we may have to get up early. Maybe it's for work, or maybe it's to get your kids ready for school. __36__ But if you're not naturally a morning person, how can you wake up early Here are some ways to help you.
Light.
The most powerful way to get your body feeling awake is to expose yourself to light. When you're exposed to bright sunlight, your hormone (激素) tells the body, “Hey, it's time to be awake.” __37__ Those lights will signal to your body that it's still daytime, which definitely won't help if you're trying to go to bed on time for an early wake up.
Naps.
__38__ Sleep doctors call that a “sleep debt,” and just like credit card debt, it has to get repaid for your body to function well. If it doesn't, you might end up suffering the more serious consequences of sleep deprivation. Naps are a great way to squeeze in some extra shut eye. Sleep studies show naps even as short as 10 minutes can make a difference! __39__ If we nap too late, too close to bedtime, then it'll make it hard for us to go to sleep at night.
__40__
Create an encouragement to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe that's a mindfulness exercise to remind yourself of who or what you're waking up early for. Something as simple as promising yourself a nice breakfast as soon as you get out of bed can do the trick.
A.Reward yourself.
B.Be strict with yourself.
C.For some people, waking up early just feels natural.
D.So don't expose your eyes to bright lights at night.
E.Try waking up even a few minutes earlier than you need to.
F.Waking up early often means that we wake up sleep deprived (被剥夺).
G.Try to keep naps under an hour and toward the middle of the day or earlier in the afternoon.

I tried all kinds of ways to __47__ her in writing. Every time the __48__ came out, she would shut down and __49__ to participate.
One day Katherine got off the bus and stood in front of the school __50__. The staff members present did not know enough __51__ to ask her why she was unhappy. Finally, they took her to the __52__ where they handed her a pen and notebook. Katherine __53__: “PAC BAK.” __54__ the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Gen and her 5 year old daughter found a fox cub(幼崽) trapped between her and her neighbour's fence. The poor cub looked as though it had fallen down between the fence. It was stuck on its back with its limbs in the air.
Gen put gloves on and carefully freed the cub from the fence, but it was clear that it was shocked and injured. When she put it down, it couldn't even move. She contacted their local wildlife rescue charity soon, but they said they couldn't help because they didn't have enough staff members. “We shouldn't leave it there to die,” Gen said to her daughter. So they took it back and tried their best to look after it.
They fed the fox cub and kept it warm and clean. The fox cub slowly began to regain its strength and was able to walk, only a few feet at first, though. Once the fox cub had recovered, Gen felt clear that it wanted to look for its family, so they put it in a box outside in the garden for periods of time with some food and water, hoping its family might come to look for it.
At first, there was no sign of the mother fox. But then one night,something had visited Gen and her husband David's garden. The next morning, the family were shocked to see the garden had been torn apart. They thought the mother fox must have had come looking for her cub.
“The mother fox was angry,” said David. “Trying to think about what she must have been going through to destroy so much of our stuff,” said Gen. They thought they had to create a good chance to get them back together. Then a genius idea came to them.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

David attached a washing basket to a long piece of rope and placed the fox cub underneath it.

32.答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“but researchers say it's actually okay to put the blame on our doorways and not on our ageing brains”可知,研究人员认为是门口导致了我们的“老年失忆症(老年人失忆、忘事、糊涂的典型状况)”。
33.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In an interview with LiveScience...”可知,Radvansky认为进出门会导致人们短暂失忆。
34.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三至五句“For me it's not doorways that cause a problem. It's flights of stairs. Every so often I find myself going up the stairs and forgetting why I did so just as soon as I've reached the landing.”可知,困扰作者的问题是为什么上楼会使他短暂失忆。
35.答案与解析:A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要解释了造成人们“进门就忘”这一现象的原因,即短暂失忆的科学原因。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个帮助人们早起的方法。
36.答案与解析:C 上文讲人们需要早起有很多原因,并举了两个例子。下文“但是如果你不是那种早晨能轻松起床的人,怎么办?”是一个转折。C项“对一些人来说,早起是自然而然的事情。”和下文内容形成对比,同时又承接上文的内容,符合语境。
37.答案与解析:D 上文讲“让你的身体感觉清醒的最有力的方法是把自己暴露在光线下。当你暴露在明亮的阳光下时,你的激素告诉你的身体,‘嘿,该醒了’”。下文讲“这些灯光会向你的身体发出信号,告诉你现在仍然是白天”。言外之意就是说现在实际上不是白天,根据语境可以推断出,D项“所以在晚上,不要让你的眼睛暴露在强光下”符合语境。
38.答案与解析:F 通读第三段可知,本段主要讲早起可能会造成睡眠不足。睡眠不足就需要补觉,而白天的小憩就可以补觉,但是如果小憩时机不对,反而会造成晚上入睡困难。空处下文“睡眠医生称之为‘睡眠债’,就像信用卡债务一样”,所以该处应该是介绍被称之为睡眠债的是什么,因此F项“早起通常意味着我们醒来时睡眠不足”符合语境。
39.答案与解析:G 上文“睡眠研究表明,即使小睡10分钟也会起作用”。下文“如果我们小憩得太晚,太接近就寝时间的话,我们晚上就很难入睡了”。根据语境可以推断出,空处应该是讲什么时间进行小憩比较合理。因此G项“尽量在中午或下午早些时候小憩不超过一小时”符合语境。
40.答案与解析:A 该处是本段主题句,通读第四段可知,本段主要讲要对自己进行适当的奖励,从而带动自己早起。所以A项“奖励自己”符合语境。
第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己教过的一个聋哑女孩的故事。女孩一直不愿写字,但有一次书包落在公交车上,她用笔与人交流,找回了书包,此后小女孩发现了笔的力量,现在已成为一位作家。
41.答案与解析:C 根据下文“planned to enroll (给……报名) their deaf daughter as a first grader”可知,他们打算在作者所在的学校给孩子报名上学,由此推测这家人是要搬到这个区。move to意为“搬到”,符合句意。
42.答案与解析:B 根据“deaf daughter”以及that后面的句意可知,Katherine幼儿园的老师告知他们不要对Katherine在学业上抱有很大希望,因此作为父母,他们的心情是难过的。upset意为“心烦的,沮丧的”。
43.答案与解析:D 根据上文可知Katherine是个听力有缺陷的孩子,所以她的幼儿园老师告知其父母不要对她在学业上抱太大的希望。have high hopes for意为“对……抱有很大的希望”。
44.答案与解析:A Katherine站在父母身后,她不出声,也没有使用手语。这里是描写Katherine是个聋哑女孩,她与人交流的方式就是发出声响或使用手语。make a sound意为“发出声音”,符合句意。
45.答案与解析:D 此处的形容词与strong willed语义并列,再根据下文“I was able to make her take part in a variety of learning activities”可知,女孩是聪明的,bright意为“聪明的”,符合句意。
46.答案与解析:B 通过下文可知作者想尽办法让Katherine写字,她都不配合。据此可知,写字对她来说是一个难事。此处考查熟词生义,struggle一词,常见的意思是“搏斗,奋斗”,它用作名词,还可以表示“难事;费劲的事”。
47.答案与解析:C 根据上下文可知,Katherine不愿意写字,所以作者尝试各种方法让Katherine对写字产生兴趣。interest sb. in sth.意为“使某人对……产生兴趣”。
48.答案与解析:C 根据上文可知,作者尝试各种办法让Katherine对写字感兴趣,想让她写字,应该是拿出笔,所以pencils符合句意。
49.答案与解析:A 根据下文可知,改变Katherine对写字这件事态度的是书包事件,所以之前作者的尝试是失败的。作者每次拿出笔,Katherine都拒绝参与。refuse to do sth.意为“拒绝做某事”。
50.答案与解析:D 根据下文可知,Katherine把书包遗忘在公交车上了,结合下一句中的“she was unhappy”可知,Katherine的表现应该是哭泣。因此crying符合句意。
51.答案与解析:B Katherine是聋哑女孩,在场的工作人员因为不懂手语而无法与Katherine交流,弄清她为什么不高兴。common sense“常识”;sign language“手势语”;oral English“英语口语”;science knowledge“科学知识”。
52.答案与解析:C 根据下文“where they handed her a pen and notebook”以及“the office staff”可推知,他们把Katherine带到了办公室。此处是原词复现。
53.答案与解析:B 根据“they handed her a pen and notebook”可知,这时Katherine有了笔和本,所以她写了“PAC BAK”。wrote意为“写”,符合句意。
54.答案与解析:C 根据上下文可知,办公室的人看到Katherine所写的字,马上意识到她把书包落在了公交车上。immediately意为“立即;马上”,符合句意。
55.答案与解析:A 根据上文可知,Katherine经过书包事件,发现了笔的力量,后来还成了一位作家。power意为“力量”,符合句意。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一名80岁老人的丈夫得了阿尔茨海默病,然后通过舞蹈疗法得以减缓病情的故事。
56.答案与解析:has done 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,该处填谓语,由“Since then”可知,该处考查现在完成时,故填has done。
57.答案与解析:to slow 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空前“she can”为省去that的定语从句,空处要填非谓语,应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to slow。
58.答案与解析:with 考查介词。该处句意为:2017年英国芭蕾舞协会发起的舞蹈疗法项目给患有阿尔茨海默病的人以及他们的照料者提供舞蹈课程。空处意为“患有”,故填with。
59.答案与解析:were held 考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,该处填谓语。由句尾“last year”可知该处要用一般过去时,且该处“sessions”与“hold”为动宾关系,故填were held。
60.答案与解析:simply 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰“were referred to”,副词修饰动词,故填simply。
61.答案与解析:as/when考查时间状语从句。该处句意为:当他们跳舞时,一些舞者开始跟着歌曲歌唱。空处意为“当……时”,故填as/when。
62.答案与解析:helping 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处填非谓语,应用动词现在分词形式作介词宾语,故填helping。
63.答案与解析:themselves 考查代词。该处考查“express oneself”这个短语,意为“表达自己的思想或感情”,故填themselves。
64.答案与解析:warmth 考查名词。该处句意为:他们给患有阿尔茨海默病的人带来了温暖。应用warm的名词形式warmth作brought的宾语,故填warmth。
65.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。该处句意为:他们(患有阿尔茨海默病的人)常常被遗忘在角落里,不被注意。泛指“在角落里”,应该用不定冠词,故填a。

A
The other day I was shopping at a local store when I came across a lady from India squatting (蹲) on the floor and looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf. She stood up quickly when she saw me as if to get out of my way. Feeling sorry, she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break, trying to get a few needed things before her time was up.
I comforted her, “I am in no hurry. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I have plenty of time.” While she was searching for something, she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and that she was really thankful for my kindness. I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people and that those people needed to be more understanding.
She thanked me for being so nice and friendly. I told her, “The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward each other. Those who are rude may learn their lesson finally for treating people badly.” She nodded and broke into a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand, laughing as she walked away.
It felt so good that I may have helped someone feel better for even a few seconds. In the brief exchange I showed her there are good and kind people in the world and may have added to her belief in humanity (人性). Maybe she thought about that later in the day, perhaps when someone was treating her unkindly.

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who's their favourite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for it. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a__shrug__for__an__answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

How to Make Friends
The friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. A good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self worth and promotes good health.

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school
Listen. Listen when they are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them. If your friends are ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them. Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for friends. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U. S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can't stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don't want to stay with your friends when they're in hard times, then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!
________ Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to the movies and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you'll remember these things when you're all old!
1.While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should________.
A.give him or her some advice
B.just listen unless asked
C.calm him or her down
D.share your feelings as well
2.What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe's words
A.Life without a friend is death.
B.A friend is easier lost than found.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D.A man is known by his friends.
3.Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph

D.Play with your friends.

A.How to find a good friend.
B.How to help friends in trouble.
C.How to be a good friend.
D.How to make more friends.
B
When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary (想象中的) friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities (性格). As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we make mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we're foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren't afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.
Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.
5.What is the best title for the passage
A.How to Reduce Stress
B.How to Make New Friends
C.The Importance of Friends
D.The Qualities of Good Friends
6.The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

C.surprise D.dislike
7.We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always ________.
A.laugh at us when we're foolish
B.tell us other people's secrets
C.share our sadness and interests
D.support us when we need help
8.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.people should make friends anytime
B.friends are people who allow you to cry
C.a friend helps you in many ways
D.good friends are always difficult to meet

Tricks (窍门) to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be difficult, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes. Making new friends can be hard, too.__1__
Be yourself.
Never change who you are to try to fit in. If some people don't accept you, they're not the kind of friends you need.__2__ For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
Be friendly to others.
__3__ If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
__4__
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you're from.
Remember people's names.
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people.__5__ Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称). You'd be surprised at how often this might come in handy.
A.Believe in yourself.
B.Join in after school activities you like.
C.People often stay together because they have similar interests.
D.Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.
E.These tricks can help you quickly turn some strangers into friends.
F.People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
G.Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!
