Making friends is a skill．Like most skills, it improves 1 practice．If you want to meet people and make friends you must be 2 to take actions．You must first go to where there are people．You won’t make friends 3 home alone． 4 a club or group, for
talking with those who 5 the same things as you do is easier, or join someone in some activity．
Many people are 6 when talking to people．After all, meeting strangers means facing 7 ．And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable 8 the unknown．
Most of our fears about dealing with new people 9 from doubts about ourselves．We 10 other people are judging us, 11 us are too tall or too short, too this or too that． 12 don’t
forget that they must be feeling the same way．Try to accept yourself 13 you are, and try to put the other person at ease．You’ll 14 feel more comfortable．
Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that way 15 you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk 16 and straight, look directly at other people and smile．If you see someone you’d like to 17 , say something．Don’t wait for the other people 18 a conversation．
Just meeting someone 19 doesn’t mean that you will make friends with that person．Friendship is 20 on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”．They take time and effort to develop．And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church．The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages．
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night．Happy Easter．
