In the past, words were the only way for people to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings. They wrote diaries, then blogs. Now people have a new way to write their diaries: Podcasts(播客).

To make Podcasts, people can use pictures, sounds, and videos together with their words to express what they want to say. Some people don’t writing anything. They use pictures, sounds and movies instead of words.

Someone says that a Podcast is like a personal TV station. People don’t have to spend money putting them on the Internet, so it is easy for people to make them and watch them. Podcasts are more interesting than blogs, and people can have more fun making and watching them too.

根据描述为下列人物选择应该借鉴文章中的哪条建议（将相应数字序号填在横线上）
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.

Here are some tips on how to talk with your parents.

Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day. They love this!

Make it clear what you want to tell your parents if they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t disturb. Ask them to do the same for you.

Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look at their eyes sincerely.

Be honest. Honesty builds trust(信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.

If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you or they’re not trying. Sometimes you have to explain things to them again or in a different way.

When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “Thanks! That helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.

If you feel there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another day.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I  31  you.” I did not know  32  to say, and I just stood there, looking  33 at him. My first thought was that he must need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all about ?” “Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and see what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to  34  more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted﹡. “Most of the fathers had the  35  response﹡ as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first suggested ﹡that we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would be surprised.”
Then the teacher explained , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of  36  . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express﹡ our feelings. A boy  37 tell his parents he loves them.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is  38  for some of us to say something .
That evening when my son came to me, I took him in my arms and held on for a while, saying, “Hey, I love you,  39  .” I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier,   40   I did feel pretty good.
