Many people find it hard to make friends.  61  All it takes is for you to get out of your shell and remember that if you love yourself, others will too. Especially being a teen, making friends can be hard or easy depending on several factors．

Relax. It’s all about confidence---if you are nervous or try too hard to look cool you’ll just act strange. So you won’t make many friends. You will stand out as overdoing(做得过分) something．

You have to act as you have had plenty of friends in the past, so even the “cool” ones will want to speak to you. 62  Be relaxed．People will like you for passing a peaceful energy．

Make the first move. Don’t be shy because it won’t help you in anything. Look around for people that seem interesting, and go up to talk to them. A good subject to talk about to anyone is music because almost everybody likes music. 63 Try not to get deep when you are first meeting somebody.

64  Everyone likes to be heard. So give attention to what others say, look straight in their eyes and show you’re paying attention. If this person feels that you’re listening to him, your new friend will enjoy your company more．

Develop friendships. You may talk to someone now but soon they’ll forget you if you stop． 65  Say their name as often as you can. When you greet them, say things like, “Hey Alex!”，“What’s going on, Sarah?’’ If you do that every day, they’ll be happy that you care about them and remember them, so they won’t forget you and you will be good friends．

E. Invite your new friends to go out together with you．

F. Think of good reasons why someone would like to meet you．

G. You’d better take a time to say hi to them every day and ask how they are doing．

Many of us don’t like what we see around us but the last thing we do is to change it. I think that is the beginning of failure and that is why what we hate remains around us. If you don’t want to see things around you, don’t just hope it’ll change.

We have such an amazing power of creativity inside us to change the way things work around us. Only lazy people go about and say that is the way things have been working. I’ve come to discover that things around us depend on our actions and inactions. What I mean is that the circumstances that we like depend only on the things we do and the things we don’t do.

Do you want your country to change? Start by changing the small things around you. Before you think too far about any small thing to change, your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and talk about. Can you remember how difficult it was for you to break a habit that you desired to break some years back? If so, then you must accept that things aren’t just going to change by a magic thought. If it isn’t so easy to change yourself when you want to, it isn’t going to be so easy to change the people around you.

I think the best way I’ve changed people around me is that I changed myself. When you change, they’ll change. Just change yourself and see how many people will tell you later that you are the one who changes them. That’s one simple way young people can change their nations.

1. According to the text, why do we fail to change what we don’t like? _______

2.The author can change people around him because he has realized that 　　　　.

3.The third paragraph aims at 　　　　.

4.What can we learn from the text? ________

High school graduation is indeed important for the person concerned. It is usually marked by a party where friends and family present the person with gifts as a celebration. Below are some good choices for those who will go to college.

You can buy a folding bike. It is a good choice for a high school graduate going to college who may not have room to store a traditional bike. He or she will love moving around the school. It can be easily folded and carried, which would be great for those who often trip back home on weekends. You can also buy a Walkman. It is not expensive. The person can enjoy music while walking, exercising or studying. It can help improve one’s mood.

College is an important time for a person’s career. Many high school graduates know little about the fields they will enter. So why not buy the person a book on what to expect in college life? That way the person would be fully prepared for college. Also he or she can tell something about it to his or her classmates. It is a reality that knowledge is something that cannot be taken away. Healthy food is a major issue in college. Some students have to put up with the bad-taste food in the college dining hall. A refrigerator which can keep food fresh is an excellent choice.

In short, there are so many you can choose from as high school graduation gifts. So what gift are you planning to give to the bright young person?

Vitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets (佝偻病), mainly found in children. The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older.

But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases. The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they stay out of the sun. Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people. The amount also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.

Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liveroils (鱼肝油). Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk.

Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers. More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels. But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison. Also, skin doctors warn people to be careful with sun exposure because of the risk of skin cancer.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about 　　　　.

2.Which of the following people produce the least amount of vitamin D?______

3. People can get the most vitamin D from 　　　　.

4.What can we infer from the text?_________

A. Being exposed to sunlight is the safest way to get vitamin D.

B. Lack of vitamin D can make people age quickly.

C. Proper vitamin D levels people need are still not determined now.

D. The vitamin D level is higher in men than in women.

Poetry is an interesting form of writing. It is very free, has few restrictions and can be a great way to express feelings. Writing a poem is all about observing the world within you or around you.

To write a poem, first you should begin with an idea or inspiration. Inspiration may come at any time unexpectedly. It may be a specific person, place or thing that causes some sort of strong emotion. It may be more of an abstract idea or release of emotion.

After getting the idea, you can write down everything that comes to mind. Don’t think much and let all feelings pour out. Remember everything can be thrown out later.

Then, you can think about its form and begin to organize thoughts. Poetry comes in many forms, from epic poetry that has a story to dramatic poetry intended to be performed. Try them all out. One will come naturally. Maybe different poems fit different forms. When you write a poem, think about both meter (韵律) and rhythm carefully, which are equally important in poetry. Meter is the fixed pattern of the poem, while rhythm refers to the sound when it is spoken. It is also important to use a lot of descriptive words. Create imagery (意象) with words, trying to make them attractive to all the senses. For auditory (听觉的) interest, try repeating of similar sounds in a sentence or phrase. All of this adds life and interest to a poem.

After you finish your work, don’t be afraid to share your work with others. When others point out your weakness, accept and grow from it.
