20．The widespread number of food scandals（丑闻）in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth．They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean，healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease？

19．How to Make Friends
1  It's hard to make friends if you stay home alone all the time．Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people．Join a club or play a sport．Attend meetings or other groups．It's easier to make friends when you have similar interests．
2  Learn from people who seem to have lots of friends．Watch carefully how they make and keep friends．Don't copy all of the things they do，but try to notice what they do．Then try some of those things yourself．
3  Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at．Talk about the things you like and do best．Don't hide your strong points．People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you．
4  Plan things to talk about with people．Find out what's in the newspaper headlines，listen to CDs，learn about what's new with your favorite TV or movie star．The more you have to say，the more people will be interested in having a conversation with you
5  Look people in the eye when you talk to them．That way，they'll find it easier to talk to you．It's very difficult to have a conversation with people whose eyes are looking to the left，to the right，or at the floor．People may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you．
6  Be a good listener．Let people talk about themselves before talking about"me，me，me．"Ask lots of questions and show an interest in their answers．
