Question

How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 1. However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself.

2. If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

3.

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接触) with other people. 4. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5. Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.

A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.

B. Be friendly to others.

C. Join after­school activities you like.

D. Making new friends can be hard, too.

E. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

F. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.

G. Never change who you are to try and fit in.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要介绍了如何融入一个新的学校。要坚持做自己，善待每一个人，要相信自己，同时,要有礼貌，记得别人的名字。

1.根据上句“从一所新学校开始可能很困难。一切似乎都不一样，你甚至不知道怎样去自己的班。”，由此可推知，交新朋友也可能是困难的。关键词too，故选D。

2.本段标题Be yourself.(做你自己。)，再根据下文“如果有些人不接受你，他们就不是你需要的那种朋友。”可知，永远不要改变你来尝试和改变。故选G。

3.本空是一个小标题。应该用短小精悍的祈使句，所以在B/C/E/G中选择，E项太长，因此最有可能在B/C/G中选择，再根据本段第一句Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.（记住要善待你在新学校遇到的人。），nice与friendly同义，故选B。

4.根据上句“抬起头，与他人目光接触。”，再根据空格下句“自我介绍，告诉他们你的名字和你来自哪里。”可知，看见你认识的人要微笑或说话。故选F。

5.根据上句“你喜欢别人叫你的名字，其他人也是这样。”，再根据下句“另外，如果他们有一个昵称，请用适当的方式叫他们。”，由此可知，如果每次见人都开始说“嗨”，人们可能会生气的。故选A。
