Question

8．Dear Emma，
    Your problem is like a circle．The harder you study，the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates．The fewer friends you have，the harder you study to make yourself feel better．
    Try to break this bad circle．Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people，because you are too shy or too serious．You are not．Everyone has a fun side to his character．Posh your shy side away and show your classmates how much fun you can be．
    Look at your classmates．Are there any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common？
    First，smile at your classmates．Do this as often as you can，until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return．
    Next，talk to your classmates．Do this between classes or during your lunch break．You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone．
    Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies．They are likely to respond （回应） in a very positive way．People like to feel important and helpful．
There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet．It might be easier to try to talk with him or her．Your problem is mainly about confidence．Smile first，talk next and slowly you will make friends．Once you have more confidence，you can make as many friends as you want．

分析 本文属于日常生活类阅读，主要是以一封信的形式来教艾玛如何交到朋友．
亲爱的艾玛：
    你的问题像是一个圈子．你学习越努力，你就越少有时间交朋友，你的朋友越少，你就看起来越不友好，你就学习越努力来让自己感觉更好．试图打破这一恶性循环．也许你是怕遇见新的人，因为你太害羞或太严肃．你不是．每个人的性格都有有趣的一面．把你害羞的一面收起来给你的同学展现你多么有趣．看看你的同学，你觉得对有些人你们有很多共同之处吗？首先，对你的同学们微笑，尽你所能做到这一点，直到你的同学习惯了你的微笑并以微笑回报．下一步，和你的同班同学交谈，在课间休息时做这件事，你会发现当和他们一个人单独交谈时，会很容易．也许你可以问一个关于你专业的同学．他们很可能以一个非常积极的方式回应你．人们喜欢让自己觉得重要和有用．你班上一定还有其他人也很安静，试着跟他们交谈可能会更容易．你的问题主要是不自信．首先微笑，慢慢地去交谈，你会交朋友．一旦你有了更多的信心，你可以交到更多的朋友．

解答 51．答案D 推测题 由文中 The harder you study，the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates．The fewer friends you have，the harder you study to make yourself feel better．可知 你学习越努力，你就越少时间交朋友，你的朋友越少，你就看起来越不友好，你学习越努力来让自己感觉更好，所以一切根源就是"所有的时间都用在学习上"，故选D
52．答案A 细节理解题 由文中 There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet．It might be easier to try to talk with him or her可知，你班上一定还有其他人也很安静，试着跟他们交谈可能会更容易相处，故选A
53．答案B 推测题 由文中 Smile first，talk next and slowly you will make friends．Once you have more confidence，you can make as many friends as you want．可知，首先微笑，慢慢地去交谈，你会交朋友．一旦你有了更多的信心，你可以交到更多的朋友，全文都是在教她怎么交朋友的，故选B．
