As a saying goes，"If you have a good friend，your joys are doubled and your sorrows are halved"．Friends are a helping hand，a comforting shoulder to lean on，a patient ear to listen to you and most importantly，a warm and loving hug to embrace（拥抱） you．Man is a social animal by nature．We all need friends，as they are there for us when we need support，just as we are there for them whenever they need us．Therefore，it is necessary for you to know how to make friends．
The first step is to open yourself up．If you want to make good friends，you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people first．Only when you share something of yourself with others，can you begin making friends．When your friends open a conversation with you，they are usually expecting you to share information in return．That is to say，when you are in a conversation，you'd better express your own thoughts and feelings．If a conversation is one-sided，the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying．So，when talking with your friends，be sure that the conversation is a two-way street．
One of the most important keys to building a solid（坚固的） friendship with other people is to listen to them-really listen．When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain about a situation，they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard．So don't try to change their mind or solve their problems，just let them know that you are listening to them．
Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong．Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect，as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you．
Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have．True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it，crying with them when they are sad，and laughing with them when they are happy．Only in this way，can the tree of friendship last for a long time．

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant，especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing．Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them．They can seem forgetful and clumsy．（36）BThey annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things．
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history．（37）C Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions？
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool？
First，understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others．Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams．（38）AAnd if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming，try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple，like taking a shower or walking，or even making meaningless drawings．
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate．"Mindfulness"，being focused，is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep．（39）E
Finally，you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away．（40）G
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds．

A．Having interesting things to think about also helps．
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves．
C．Without wandering minds，we wouldn't have relativity，Coke or Post-it notes．
D．At one time，daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses．
E．It involves slow，steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive．
F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct，quite unlike sleep dreams，which may be hard to understand．
G．Therefore，it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone．

11．Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family．We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds．
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world．While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）．Instead，they learn both explicit（表面的） and hidden meanings from what they see．Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows．Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas．Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room．
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment．But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability．TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children； it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports．Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading．"A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads．"Anderson says．
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance．But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it．In fact，research suggests that it's the other way around．"If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，"Anderson says．Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers．
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children．However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally （传统地）believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned（谴责） without considering other influences．

10．In ancient Egypt，a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment．Modern businesses have been following his lead，with more tactics（策略）．
One tactic involves where to display the goods．For example，stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section．They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they
will buy more junk food later in their trip．In department stores，section is generally next to the women's cosmetics（化妆品） section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later．
Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses．Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day．Music sells goods，too．Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wine went up．
When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics．They find that customers make decisions in the first few second upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity．A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly．When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level．The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses．

28．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section？C
