A

Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house. They don't know how to start the conversation again if they don't talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch (# 48) with old friends, but they are afraid to do so.

Psychologists（心理学家）from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends.

The study shows over 90% of the people don't call their old friends. 70% of them don't want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won't want to hear from them or are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people.

Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, "Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other.After sharing something new and interesting, they won't feel embarrassed (tt 41) at all. Instead, they know each other better."

In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call?

(   )1. How does the writer start the passage?

A. By telling a story.  B. By giving a fact.  C. By asking a question.  D. By listing numbers.

A. Because they almost forget their old friends.

B. Because they don't want to trouble their old friends.

C. Because they have nothing to say to their old friends.

D. Because they don't care about their old friends at all.

(   )3.What can we learn from Lara Aknin's words?

A. It's hard to get in touch with old friends.

B. We can't share our things with old friends.

C. Differences may help people get close to old friends.

Do you have any foreign friends? Do you know their characteristics?

The Germans are very quiet and they always keep calm. They don't like to speak much. They look very serious. They like different kinds of amusements (t* ff.). The Germans are very hard-working. They like tidiness, especially the women, who always keep their home clean.

In some ways, the Englishmen look the same as the Germans. They are very quiet and never talk too much with the strangers. They are really polite, so we often hear them say "thank you" or "sorry". The gentlemen are also the Englishmen.

The Frenchmen's holidays are very long. They like traveling and usually spend their long time staying in other countries. The Frenchmen are more outgoing than the Germans. It is very easy to make friends with them.

Compared to the Frenchmen, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener than all of the Europeans. They don't like to depend on others. So it is very common that the students do part-time jobs in their free time. And in Americans' eyes, success (Ai,/) is an important part in their life.

A reader wrote to say that she felt very lonely at break between classes because her best friend wasn't around her. because no one could chat with her and nobody could play with her. She stood there feeling like everyone was looking at her, or on the other hand she might feel as if nobody was looking at her.Everyone else was in groups. She felt really left out. What would she do? Here are some tips to her — and to all children who feel lonely sometimes.

It's hard when a best friend isn't around — maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you'd like to play with at break.Look tor chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer（主动提出） to share something or express your appreciation（表达欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?" in the lunchroom. When you're at break, walk over to kids you want to play with. Act friendly, and say "Hi, can I play, too?" or just join in.

If you have some problems doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help, and you'll
