Want to know how to be a confident friend-finder? We can help, with four easy steps.
Step 1. Change your mental state.
It’s easy to get so freaked out（不安的）about being in a new situation that you start throwing off don't-come-near-me signals. And guess what? It worked.1.Instead, change your attitude with some positive thinking. Tell yourself: “It’ll be great to get to know someone new”, or “I can’t wait to hear what these girls have to say.”
Step 2. Remember, the eyes have it.
The first place we look at when we’re uncomfortable is the floor. No one can tell if we’re embarrassed. We can’t tell if anyone is looking at us. Whoa!2.Holding your head up and making eye contact is a bold（大胆的）move．It’s confident and friendly.
Step 3.3.
Does starting a communication bring on an attack of shyness? Try adding a good question to your friend-finding tools. Strong opening questions usually begin with “what” or “how” words that get people talking. Typically, our first instinct (本能) is to ask a “can” or a “do” question, like “Can I borrow a pencil?” or “ Do you know where the bathroom is?4.Asking “what” or “how” questions gets you more information to respond to. Try something like “Hi. I really like that flower. How did you draw it?” or “Hi. I’m new. What’s the least scary lunch option in the cafeteria?”
Step 4. Practice, practice, practice.
Making new friends is a skill. 5.But the more you practice, the more relaxed and natural. You’ll feel, and the easier it will get. So flash that smile, offer some welcoming words, and soon you’ll be hanging out with your newest friends!
A. People don’t come near you.
B. All you need is one question.
C. Listen closely to their answers.
D. Not a good way to meet people.
E. The thought of meeting people makes you excited.
F. But that only gets you short answers. Like “Yeah”or “Down the hall”.
G. Like art, music, or sports, it takes practice to feel truly confident of it.
There lived in South Carolina a young woman named Eliza Lucas. Her father was governor of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas often got seeds from her father, and then she planted them in South Carolina.
Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo (靛蓝) plant. She planted some of them in March, but a frost (霜冻) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. She wrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant.
However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo. He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her father’s land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant.
Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney. Her father gave her all the indigo growing on his land in South Carolina. It was all saved for seeds. Mrs Pinckney gave some of the seeds to her friends while her husband sowed others. They all grew and were made into the blue dye(染料) that we call indigo. In a few years, South Carolina was producing more than a million pounds of indigo every year. All the people were grateful to her.

A. a cutworm B. a frost
C. strong sunlight D. heavy rain
2.What might be people’s attitude toward Eliza Lucas in South Carolina?

3.The man Miss Lucas’s father sent her ______.
A. was not as helpful as she expected B. knew little about planting seeds
C. helped her a lot in making the indigo D. made a lot of money in South Carolina

A. Eliza Lucas learned to plant seeds.
B. Eliza Lucas became Mrs. Pinckney.

You often can choose a private setting when you browse(浏览) the internet. But be forewarned: It may not afford nearly as much privacy as you expect. That’s the finding of a new study.
Major web browsers, such as Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari, often a private-browsing option. It’s sometimes referred to as “incognito.” This option lets you surf the Internet browser and saves a record into its history of each page that you visited. And what sites you visit won’t affect the suggestions your browser makes the next time you’re filling out an online form.
Many people believe----incorrectly--- that the incognito setting protects them more broadly. Most believe it even after reading a web browser’s explanation of the incognito mode.
For instance, a new study had 460 people read web browsers’ descriptions of private browsing. Each person read one of 13 descriptions. Then the participants answered questions about how private they thought their browsing would be while using this tool. The volunteers didn’t understand the incognito mode.This was true no matter which browser explanation they had read. The researchers reported their findings on April 26 at the 2018 World Wide Web Conference in Lyon, France.
More than half of the volunteers thought that if they logged into a Google account through a private window, Google wouldn’t keep a record of their search history. Not true. And about one in every four participants thought private browsing hid their device’s IP address. That’s wrong, too.
Blase Ur was one of the study’s authors. He’s an expert in computer security and privacy in Illinois at the University of Chicago. Companies could clear up this confusion by giving better explanations of the incognito mode, his team says. For example, the browsers should avoid vague（模糊).The web browser Opera, for instance, promises users that “your secrets are safe.” Nope Firefox encourages users to “browse like no one’s watching.” In fact, someone might be. (If you’d like to know more about the research information, please click here .)

A. record one’s passwords
B. give a warning of insecure links
C. help hide one’s past browsing history
D. access one’s favorite websites quickly
3.Where is the article probably from ______.
A. a text book B. a newspaper
C. a magazine D. the Internet
