Do you know that you are not outgoing enough? Do you want more friends? Here are some rules for you, and they may help you.
★Feel comfortable. Always be clean. Shower, brush your teeth, and try to look nice. Dress in clothes that make you feel good and comfortable; it also makes you feel more confident (自信的).
★Smile more often. ①Try to smile more often at people. It will get them to think that you are friendly. Then they'll talk to you more even if they don't know you.
★Just talk. Some people worry about talking because they think," What am I going to talk about with that person?" Outgoing people don't even think about it. They just go up to people and say what they think.
★Listen to people. You can't just talk. People will think that you're self-centered (以自我为中心的). You have to listen to other people and give your opinions(想法). Let them know you care.
★Read the news! ②Don't just stay at home and do nothing. Read the news and information online, and talk about it when you're with friends.
—I think you should do more exercise.

take tea, turn the electricity on, have to, use it, wake you up |
Jane's mother was about seventy, and Jane and her husband wanted to give the old lady a nice present for her birthday. She liked , so Jane bought a small electric machine（电器）. It could make tea and then in the morning. She brought it to her mother on her birthday, and showed her how .
"Before you go to bed, put tea and water in it," she explained to her mother, and don't forget . When you wake up in the morning, your tea will be ready. "
After a few days, the old lady telephoned her daughter and said, "Jane, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do I go to bed to make tea? Can't I have tea in the afternoon or in the evening?"
At the moment, Daming and Lingling (talk) about the year 2050 in the classroom." What will our world be like in the year 2050?" asks Daming." Well, no one knows, but it's (interest) to guess (猜测)," says Lingling. "I think in the year 2050, everyone will carry a small computer. The computer will give people the answers to all the questions. We'll have new telephones too. And we'll be able to talk to our friends all over the world and see them at (冠词) same time.""A lot of people would like (live) and work in the sea.
In the future, there (be) big towns, (factory) and farms in the sea. Machines will do most of the work. (连词)people will have more holidays. Maybe they'll work two or three days a week. They will (fly) to the moon and spend (they) holidays there," says Daming." I am looking forward （介词）the year 2050. I hope to fly to the moon!" "I hope I'll be able to live in the sea," says Lingling," just like a fish!"
Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
"I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same.We don't know what to do,or how to look after ourselves,"said Zheng Chenyu,“And I'd forget something important. I'd probably watch TV and bum the soup."
"The moment I leave home, I'll learn to cook.But now parents do almost everything for us. We're very lazy,"he said.
Most teenagers only have time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college. However, Sima Yige doesn't think so.
"I think I'd be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me," the 13-year-old boy said. Most teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly.
For most teenagers, it wouldn't be a holiday at all.

They write down everything that happened in notebook. they live near the animals, the scientists are careful not to frighten them. If the scientists are lucky, the animals will no attention to them. Then the scientists can see how the animals really live.
The behavior scientists hope what they've learned about animal behavior can provide clues (线索) to help people learn to live together more happily.
