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

阅读下面短文并用英语回答问题，（请注意各小题后面的词数要求）。

[1]I don't know about you, but I look a lot older than I really am. Now I know I could solve much of that by coloring my hair with some product like "Just for Men", but I refuse to go there just yet. But it really gets upsetting sometimes. For example, at my brother's wedding four years ago, the photographer thought I was his father. Really, I'm not kidding.

[2]And just a few weeks ago, I was a riding in a car with another one of my brothers when he stopped to pick up his paycheck. Anyway, his boss saw me in the car and asked him if _________________. Now, he only saw me from a distance, but it still hurt. Again, I'm not making this up.

[3]So I've decided to fight this battle in my own way. Since I obviously look old, I'm going to act young to compensate(弥补) for it. So what I am doing to act young? Well, it all has to with the way I move around.

[4]First, I try to walk faster than everyone else. That one is not a big deal for me, as I've always had a tendency to walk fast. It's a family trait（特性）.

[5]Second, I try to use quick movements. That means getting up from a sitting position quickly, sitting down quickly, lying down quickly, getting up from a lying position quickly, changing directions quickly, turning quickly, etc. Now this one presents a little more of a challenge to me. I have to be careful not to hurt or damage a sensitive body part.

[6]Of course, if all of that doesn’t work, there’s always the “Just for Men.”
