  Even if you are naturally shy,these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

  1. Take pictures 

  One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves,and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say ,“If you’d like I can email it to you. ” This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

  2. Eat alone in public You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit : you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious) . Plus,having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

  3. Join a class,sports team,or club 

  Yoga,salsa dancing,volleyball,Toastmasters (a public speaking club) ,a class for work,etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

  These are all great places to meet new people,primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and o-ver again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips:

* In the beginning,never turn down an invitation from someone,even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) .

* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

 LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison,saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.

  It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq,Belgium and Saudi Arabia.

  McCormick,57.was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced on Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

  “Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people ,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick, “and you have neither regret,nor shame,nor any sense of guilt. ”

The detectors,sold for up to $ 42,000 each,were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.

  McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong,the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.

   A. He sold bombs.

   B. He caused death of people.

   A. increased the cost of safeguarding

   B. lowered people’s guard against danger

   C. changed people’s idea of social security

   B. They have caused many serious problems.

   C. They can find dangerous objects in water.

  Exams are always stressful. Students rarely know exactly what to expect on the test,and those who suffer from exam fear or exam anxiety can see their grades suffer as a result of this stress. For some students,exam fear causes them to “seize up” and forget what they have studied.

  2.       Good study habits and learning how to relax can help students overcome exam fear.

  3.        According to Penn State University and Kids Health,proper study habits and preparation are the keys to cutting out exam fear. Avoid last-minute “cramming” for exams and actively listen while in class.

Often,people who suffer from exam anxiety cannot shut out negative thoughts or emotions about the test,and this can contribute to feeling more anxiety than normal.4.        Keep your mind and body healthy by getting enough sleep,eating well and exercising. Healthier people who are well-rested often do better on exams.

  Shopping green can make an important contribution to protecting the planet and conserving its resources.

  Today’s consumers face a wider range of choices than ever before. Add to that the steady stream of sales campaigns,and shopping smart only gets harder. To buy economically and reduce waste,safeguard health and protect the environment,you’ll need to follow some basic principles and have a clear idea of what you want.

  1. Do your homework Before making any major purchase,take the time to research it. Plentiful resources are usually available online. Avoid buying in a hurry,and don’t be persuaded by over-enthusiastic salespeople. Sleep on it if necessary—you won’t regret giving yourself some extra time to think.

  2. Take the long view Consider the running costs as well as the initial price of any item you buy. Many environmentally friendly products cost more to buy,but save you money in the long run. Choose items that are made to last. For example,pick a sofa that has a hardwood or steel frame rather than one made of softwood,which may break easily.

  3. Skip the disposable option Buy reusable products like washable cloth towels,handkerchiefs,serviettes (餐巾) and cleaning cloths rather than paper,single-use varieties. Avoid other disposable supplies like cups,glasses,and chopsticks,too.

  4. Take the local route Buy local products that are in season. It’s usually cheaper and fresher and has less harm to the environment. Markets and roadside stands are good sources. Some supermarkets also buy from local producers. Support it if you have one.

5. Avoid wasteful packaging Better not buy products that have too much packaging. It’s estimated that approximately 10        per cent of every shopping bill is actually paying for packaging—which you normally just throw away!Moreover,significant amounts of energy are used in the production of packaging. Purchasing refillable and renewable containers can also help cut this kind of waste.

  So what are some specific things you can do?3.________Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill,not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programmes are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill.4.        Only in this way can you avoid be ing fooled by some sales presentation.
