It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you are good at. Talk about things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of people. That way, you will have a bigger group to choose from and have more chances for making friends.

【推荐2】With more and more cars on the road, the traffic jam will happen. How do we see it and how can we solve the problem?
We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off. What’s more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed rules.
Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious, and set up a much more perfect traffic system(体系) to solve the traffic pressure.
1. The underlined word “jam” means ________ in Chinese.| A．事故 | B．堵塞 | C．规则 | D．房间 |
| A．there are not enough ways of transportation(交通方式) |

| C．there are more and more cars on the roads |
| D．many governments are working at how to make the traffic better |

【推荐3】Friends are very important for us. Do you know how to make friends at school? Let me tell you how to make friends at school.
First, you have to know what kind of people they are. If(如果) they are shy(害羞的) or quiet(安静的), don’t ask them “Why don’t you talk?” or “Why are you quiet?” They don’t like it. So don't do it.
Next, you have to know everyone is not the same. Different(不同的) people use different words, do different things and have different interests.
Then, it is important for you to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you can be welcome. No one wants to make friends with a quiet and shy boy or girl. So try to talk with others and share(分享) your ideas with them.
At last（最后）, find a right topic(话题) to talk with other people. You can talk with them about sports, the news, their interests or the school life.

I moved from Munich to Berlin last month, and now I’m a student at Handel School. I like the school, but I don’t have any new friends here. I tried to talk to my classmates after the bell rang at the end of class, but nobody said much to me. Well, one person did. She told me that I could not wear a sweatshirt（运动衫）over my uniform. I am really friendly, and want to make new friends. But I don’t know what to do. Please help me!.
Kate
Dear Kate,
I’m happy that you wrote to me. Here are some ideas to help you make friends. First, don’t talk much to your classmates after the bell rings. Most people must go quickly to their next lesson. They don’t have time to talk. You can sit with your classmates when having lunch. Then they have more time to talk to you. Or, go to the playground during the break. Find people doing something that is interesting to you and talk to them. People having the same interest are easy to be friends.
Good luck!
Help Me Hal

【推荐2】It is 40 meters long and 6 meters wide. This must be the biggest bus you have ever seen. It can carry 1,200 to 1,400 people.
It is China’s new Super Bus. It is going for a test run in Beijing at the end of this year. Some other cities are also interested in running the Super Bus. They hope the traffic problems will be solved.
The Super Bus runs along fixed tracks (固定轨道) . The bus sits on top of two 2.2-meter-tall legs. The legs have wheels at one end. Small cars can drive under the bus, so the Super Bus does not take up road space.
The bus runs on electricity and solar power. It can travel up to 60 km every hour. Its creator, Song Youzhou, says a lot of traffic jams will be reduced.
The Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can save 860 tons of fuel (燃料) every year, according to Song.
“To build a Super Bus and its track costs less than building subways. Subways are nearly ten times more expensive to build.” Song said.
Some people worry that the Super Bus may not be safe. However, Song says there’s no need to worry about. The Super Bus has laser scanners (激光扫描仪) between its legs. The scanners make sure the cars keep a safe distance(距离).

【推荐1】If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and one of the reasons is their bad eating habits. They like eating “junk food”. What is junk food? It is food which contains (包含) a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar.
It is true that eating too much junk food might be one of the reasons why the teenagers are overweight. However, unhealthy eating habits are the main reason. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. They just choose the food they like to eat. Scientists did a survey at one school. As is shown in the survey, over 60% of students don’t like vegetables, and more than 50% of them don’t eat fruit every day. They prefer to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar or fat. Parents are worried about their unhealthy eating habits. How can we have a healthy diet? Here are some suggestions from the doctors.

Joel Sartore is a writer, teacher, and photographer. His words and beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world.
Question 1: How did you become a National Geographic photographer?
My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on.
Question 2: __________________________________________
To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.
Question 3: Is it hard to get a job as a photographer today?
It’s now harder to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is filled with photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines. What the magazines need to do these days is to pay for these photos.
Question 4: I want to be a photographer. Do you have any advice for me?
Advice? Well, work hard. Be passionate (热情的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others’ photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about everything. There’s something to photograph everywhere.

Is there anything worse than that? You bravely raise your hand to answer a question, but your teacher just point out that you’re wrong. What a shame! What could the teacher make you suffer (忍受) this?
Relax.
Having all your classmates come to know your weak points can be pretty hard, so how can you get past the shame and recognize class participation as a learning opportunity?
