Friends are very important in our life. We often walk through life with them. If we share our ups and downs, pains and joys with our friends, we will get more happiness and sadness. 6
Be friendly to others. 7 You should try to make a stranger feel at home when you meet him/her. That is the first step of making friends.
Know your fear. Some of us see meeting new people as a bad thing. We are worried about making a bad impression（印象）, how to let the talk go and so on. In fact, all these fears are just in our head.
Be yourself. 8 Just be yourself. You can meet real friends when you are who you are. The truest friendship is both accepting each other for who they are.
9 This connection（联系）between you and the other one can only begin when your heart is open. You cannot make any new connection if you don’t believe in others. It will send the wrong information and make them close off their hearts to you, too.
Be there for them. A friendship is a union that helps two people. 10 When you help your friends, you should help without thinking about anything else. The happiness you get from helping others is much greater.
A．Don’t change yourself to make new friends.
B．Open your heart.
C．Don’t forget your friends’ birthday.
D．Here are some ways to make new friends.
E．Give support to your friends as possible as you can.

A city without cars would be very strange, right But Venice is such a city. Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’ t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. 11
Even so, travel isn’ t difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. 12 They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there. 13
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. 14 Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. 15 Every year, high water hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
A．Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

Many people today like to play with their phones more than to stay with friends and to talk face to face. 31 When you take a trip outside by subway or bus, you can easily see some people writing messages to others using QQ or WeChat. 32 They may never see some of their “friends” in real life, but they feel happy because they think their “friends” are everywhere.
33 For them, friends are not just for writing messages or using emojis (表情包). Friends should also show their care for each other when they have some problems and need help. For example, when you’re lying(躺) on the bed in hospital, it’ll make you happier to see your friends visit you than just getting some messages on WeChat. When you don’t do well in a subject, it can touch your heart more when your friends study with you than just hearing them say “come on”.
