分析 本文讲述了如何能结交到新朋友．首先，结交的新朋友要和你有共同的兴趣爱好；其次，要主动和别人交谈，尽量发短信而不是打电话，这样新朋友才有反应的时间．最后，作者建议不能对朋友吹毛求疵．

36．E 考查上下文联系．根据前面的内容，有时候我们搬到一个新的城市，改变了我们的工作或学校，这些改变让我们到了新环境后没有一个朋友．这时候我们就要结交新的朋友．对有些人来说是很容易结交新朋友的，而另一些人则很困难．故本题选E．
37．C 考查上下文联系．根据后面一句话"You can always start the conversation"可知，你可以自己主动开始和别人交谈，而不是等着别人和你说话．故本题选C．
38．B 考查上下文联系．根据下面的叙述"these interests would always bring you and your friend together"可知，选择有共同兴趣的朋友建立友谊是很重要的．因为这些兴趣会让你和你的朋友总是在一起做事．故本题选B．
39．G 考查上下文联系．根据前面的描述，尽量不要打新朋友的电话，而是要发消息，因为你需要给朋友时间让他做出反应．故本题选G．
40．D 考查上下文联系．根据前面一句话"The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves"，享受友谊的最好方式就是让你的朋友做自己，而不是要求他改变习惯来迎合你．所以不要对朋友吹毛求疵．故本题选D．
