Making friends is a skill like many other skills. Like most skills, you can i 1. it if you are patient. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home a 2. . Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much e 3. . Or join someone in some activities.
Many people are n 4. when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a b 5. unpleasant about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. B 6. don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept y 7. as you are, and try to make others feel at home. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently even if you don’t feel that way. W 8. you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say s 9. . Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It t 10. time and effort to develop.
Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking. Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your audience will not pay attention to your speech. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech — how you are going to begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to end. A strong end is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech short. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应), the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us 1. eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal they may 2. our appetite (the wish for food). It's important for us to eat 3. every day .When we feel hungry, it is said that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges 4. decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn’t telling the truth, he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of 5. the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worrying, he doesn't want to eat and loses his appetite.

Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average(平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring(盯) at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink(自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).
While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
