语篇解读：本文为夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身的经历来鼓励那些害羞的人去大胆与人交流。这样，交到新朋友就变得不是那么难了。
1．difficulty 句型sb. have difficulty (in) doing sth.意为“某人在做某事方面有困难”，其中difficulty是名词，作have的宾语。
2．On 在具体的某一天之前常用介词on。
3．happily 空格中所填单词在句中修饰walking，故填happy的副词形式happily。
4．a 这里意为“有一个女孩来到我身边”，故填不定冠词a。
5．shook 这里讲述的是过去发生的事，故用一般过去时。
6．but 前后两个分句之间存在意义上的转折关系，故填并列连词but。
7．her see sb. doing sth. 意为“看见某人正在做某事”。这里填she的宾格形式作动词saw的宾语。
8．Hearing 句子主语I是动词hear所表示动作逻辑上的主语，故用现在分词短语“hearing her words”作时间状语。
9．shocked 形容词shocked意为“对……感到震惊的”，修饰人。
10．to make long to do sth.，意为“渴望做某事”。

There was a boy named Tom. One night, he stayed at the home alone because his parent both went to see a movie. Tom smelt something bad when he is reading a magazine. He soon found out that there was something burned in the next room. He remembered what his parents had told them to do. He ran to the telephone or called the firemen. He then put his clothes and ran out of the house as quickly as possible. Soon the firemen came. After a little minutes the fire was put out and the house was still there.
