To my family and friends,
I have just started my tour of the area badly affected by the war. Everything is going really well, so no   16 . The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of   17  too. Let me   18 .
Last week, 120 school girls were   19  by a gas leak（泄漏）. Most have recovered but six are still in   20 . Even though the local government speaks about the   21 of education, most of the kids here only attend school for four hours a day if they are lucky. They are so excited and   22  to learn, but then have to   23  things like being attacked. Most of these kids are   24  and can’t afford a pencil or even paper. So I’m planning a trip to several schools to talk about   25  and to give these kids some of the   26  they need. That is where all of you can help. If you can   27  whatever school supplies you have available, that would be   28  appreciated.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the   29  to do this and I will post pictures of this   30  after I return.
Thank you again.
Todd Tucker

【小题1】“Baby and me” classes are held mainly for ______.

To make new friends, the first thing you need to do is to meet up with new people, this should be quite      , as your neighborhood should have a club, school or some other small organizations.

Go there and talk to people.       you get into a social circle or group, making friends is not hard at all.

Look easygoing. You needn’t       in fancy clothes or wear loud make-ups to attract people. Make eye       and smile often; don’t look too nervous and listen to what others have to say.

Accept people the way they are. Nobody is      ; you are not either. Everyone has faults and the way to make friends is by looking at the positive aspects of people. In case you don’t like someone’s behavior, it is better to       them than to create a rivalry (对抗).

Don’t forget old friends. If they have moved away or if you have moved away, be in       through phone calls and emails. Don’t leave old friends for the sake of new ones.
