1 . Friends are very important to us. Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends.

Atleto

Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.

Friender

Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then, Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.

Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time It’s a win-win.

Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences. It’s perfect for meeting people while traveling, moving and entering a new chapter of life. Skout is able to discover people directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.

    1    most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded(明星荟萃的)reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral(走红)by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.

This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces    2    (highlight)traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess(《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance, and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen(《龙门金刚》), a dance piece    3    (support)by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes.

Last month, Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center, was invited to talk about how the TV station     4    (produce)the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum centering on the research of Chinese dance.

The pieces made an emotional impact on audiences, most of    5    are members of Gen Z(people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said.

“It    6    (be)over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “    7    we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.”

Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years.

“    8    (appeal)to younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating history with traditional video content.”

Another key to successfully    9    (reach)younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows.

“Social media    10    (shape)and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.
