In ancient China, a woman told the best stories. She married to the emperor (皇帝). Sadly, one day, this woman became ill and died. Everyone thought the emperor would soon find another favorite among his wives, but the emperor was very sad. He spent more and more time in his garden, and less and less time caring for the needs of his people. Everyone in the kingdom was worried.
One day, a priest (牧师) passed when some children were playing with their dolls. The dolls made dancing shadows on the wall. This gave the priest an idea. He knew the stories the emperor's wife used to tell. What if he could bring those stories to life?
The priest made a puppet (木偶) out of bits of clay (黏土). He painted the puppet to look somewhat like the emperor's wife. When the puppet was finished, the priest silently walked into the emperor's garden, carrying his puppet, a candle and a curtain. He placed the curtain near the emperor's chair. He placed his candle, his puppet and himself behind the curtain. He waited for the emperor to appear.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations, and I learnt lessons from his experiences during our conversations. He always told me, "You should have goals (目标) like climbing the mountain. "Without the mountain-climbing, we couldn't have enough time to spend together, because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thoughts as well as to develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I didn't want to climb. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top can you see all the nice things, just like in life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later, I got to know hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as the crystal (水晶).

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must take action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.
Many people are nervous when talking with others. 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 (怀疑) about ourselves. We consider that other people are judging (评判) us, finding us too small or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself, and try to put the other person at ease. Then you'll feel more comfortable. "Try to act with self-confidence (自信) although you don't feel that way. Walk with your' back straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you'd like to speak to, tell something to him / her. Don't wait for others to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is
"give and take". It takes time and energy to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
( ) 51. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. People need friends.
B. It's hard to make friends.
C. The ways to make friends.
D. Making friends needs practice.
( ) 52. Why are most people afraid of meeting new
A. Because they're too excited.
B. Because they think they aren't good enough.
C. Because they're shy.
D. Because they don't have skills.

A. We should act confidently when meeting new people.
B. People feel nervous when talking with others.
C. It's fearful to meet new people.
D. We are usually too small in people's eyes.
