Then it dawned upon me that I was （40）Dmy strength in unimportant hurry，while paying no attention to the landscape （41）Cwhich I was making the trip．Indeed，there was much to （42）Dwhich might otherwise have escaped me．As I gazed（凝视） about with sharpened （43）BI saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared （44）Cunder brilliant light．The rain mists （薄雾） and the fresh clearness of the different greens were so（45）AMy annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to （46）Dit disappeared．It had provided me with a new view that the （47）Bof beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the （48）Cof one's own sensibilities．

| D．teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyIt's nice to have friends．Sometimes you need one person to talk to．You can play games，hang out or even just talk on the phone．Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong，lasting friendships．Well，take your time，and don't rush． ?Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests． You don't necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them．But if you have something in common with them，it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities．Whatever your age and whatever your interests，there is an organization or a club for you．Social networking sites such as Facebook，Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them． ?Join a sports team． As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates，joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends．A sports team isn't the only way．If you play instruments or sing，try joining a band．?Make small talk． Keep the conversation light and cheery．Even if you're complaining about something，make sure it's something you're both dissatisfied with，and emphasize the positive-how such a situation can be avoided in the future．Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 （30% talking，70% listening） pattern during small talk when possible． ?Ask them out for lunch or coffee． That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better．A good way to extend yourself is to say："Hey，well，I've got to go，but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that，let me give you my number or e-mail address．"This gives the | person the opportunity to get in touch with you； they may or may not give you their information in return，but that's fine．Maybe they don't have time for new friends～～don't take it personally!Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend，and eventually somebody will get in touch． ?Be loyal（忠诚的）to a friend． You've probably heard of fair-weather friends．They're the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them．Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends．If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing，or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on，be there．If your friends make a joke，laugh with them．Never complain about a friend． ?Be a good listener． Many people think that in order to be seen as‘friend material'they have to appear very interesting．Far more important than this，however，is the ability to show that you're interested in others．Listen carefully to what people say，remember important details about them （their names，their likes and dislikes），ask questions about their interests，and just take the lime to learn more about them．You don't want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation． ?Be trustworthy． One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything，even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world．The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets，so it's no secret that you shouldn't tell other people things that were told to you in confidence． |
