A
It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Go out of the house and do things to keep in touch with other people. It’s easier to make friends in this way.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Watch their eyes when you talk to them. Through this way, they can find it easier to talk to you. If you don’t, people may think you are not interested in them and may not be interested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask them lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like — not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to a lot of people. You will have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.

D
阅读短文,完成第II卷第三大题的36—40小题。
This week I tried two new restaurants—Michelle’s and Anton’s. They are both French restaurants.
Michelle’s is a small place with about twenty tables. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly, and the service is excellent. I ordered chicken with orange sauce along with rice and a salad. Then I had a chocolate cake and coffee. The chicken was delicious, but the cake was too dry. The meal cost about thirty dollars.
Anton’s is a much bigger restaurant, and it was very crowded on that night. I waited twenty minutes for a table.Anton’s is noisier than Michelle’s, and the waiter was very slow with my meal. I ordered soup and a steak (牛排)with fried potatoes and vegetables. The soup wasn’t very hot. The steak was OK, but the vegetables weren’t very good. For dessert, I had ice cream. The meal was really expensive—about forty-five dollars.
Now you know why I would go to Michelle’s again, but not to Anton’s.
