Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home     .
Join a club or group, talk with those who like the same things    you do is much easier. Or join someone    some activity.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people.    all, meeting strangers means    the unknown. And it’s human nature to     a bit uncomfortable(不舒服)about the unknown.
     our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts(怀疑)about      . We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall    too short, too this or too that, but don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself     you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束).You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to    self-confident(自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly    other people and smile.
If you see someone, you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for    person to start a conversation(谈话).
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will    friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”. It    time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from     .

D．with yourself

A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said they were her friends．But one day she heard the hounds（猎犬）getting close and hoped to escape them by the aid of her many friends． So，she went to the horse，and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back．But he refused，because he had important work to do for his master． He felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her．
She then came to the bull，and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns （角）．The bull replied，"I am very sorry，but I have an appointment with a lady；but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want．" The goat，however，feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it．The sheep，he felt sure，was the proper friend to ask for help．
So she went to the sheep and told him the situation．The sheep replied，"Another time，my dear friend． I do not like to have anything to do with it，as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares．"
The hare then went，as a last hope，to the calf （小牛），who regretted that he was unable to help her，as he did not like to take the responsibility （责任） upon himself，as so many older persons than himself had refused the task．By this time the hounds were quite near，and the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped．

Last week, the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime. When he opened it, a $10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:
