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.

He placed his candle, his puppet and himself behind the curtain. He waited for the emperor to appear.

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.

以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。
“The only constant（不变）in life is change," Heraclitus said in about 500 B.C. That could be more true today.
1. Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he/she would have experienced in his/her whole life.
Why are we afraid of change 2. After all, who knows what new dangers might appear However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 3. To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with.
4 For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty（不确定）. So when bigger things happen, you'll be more fully prepared for them.
People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so.
5. If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful.
That's because our brains want to protect us. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. We live in a world that is changing every minute. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. Human brains tend to focus on negative events. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity.
