Being outgoing is good for your life. Those who are more outgoing like to meet lots of interesting people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Even the shy people can be outgoing.

    You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend or a group of friends. But the real challenge (挑战) comes when you meet strange (陌生的) people or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will return (回报) your smile. In this way, you may have some talks.

    Start a talk. Just a simple "Hello" or "How is it going?" is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read the news and prepare (准备) your views. Surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind.

    The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out. This is also the most important step. Go to a park, beach, club, party or any other place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends there.

(an extract from Stuart Little)

    When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse. The truth of the matter was, the baby looked very much like a mouse in every way. He was only about two inches high; and he had a mouse's sharp nose, a mouse's tail, a mouse's whiskers(胡须)，and the pleasant, shy manner of a mouse. Before he was many days old he was not only looking like a mouse but acting like one, too-wearing a gray hat and carrying a small cane(手杖).Mr. and Mrs. Little named him Stuart, and Mr. Little made him a tiny bed.

    Unlike most babies, Stuart could walk as soon as he was born. Mrs. Little saw right that the baby clothes she had provided were unsuitable, and she set to work and made him a fine little blue suit. Every morning, before Stuart dressed. Mrs. Little went into his room and weighed him on a small scale(称)which was really used for weighing letters. At birth Stuart could have been sent by first class mail, but his parents preferred to keep him rather than send him away. At the age of a month, he had gained only a third of an ounce(盎司), his mother was so worried that she sent for the doctor.

    The doctor was happy with Stuart and said that it was very unusual for an American family to have a mouse. He took Stuart's temperature and found that it was 98.6, which is normal for a mouse. Everything seemed to be all right, and Mrs. Little was pleased to get such a good report.

    "Feed him up!" said the doctor cheerfully, as he left.

    The home of the Little family was a pleasant place near a park in New York City. In the mornings, the Littles were up early as a general rule. Stuart was a great help to his parents, and to his old brother, because of his small size and because he could do things that a mouse can do and was willing to do them.

A: Next Saturday is my birthday. Would you like to come to my birthday party?

B: I'd love to. But how can I get there?

A: From your home, you can take the No. 3 bus. Get off the bus at the post office. The bus stop is just in front of the post office. Turn right into Xinhua Street. Then you can see a cinema on your left and a bank on the right. Walk on and turn left at the third street. There is a tall building opposite Tianyuan Hotel. It's a library. My house is next to the library. It's easy to find it.

B: Thank you for inviting me. Bye.

A: Bye.

    Why is setting goals(目标)important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal, or a map.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}But he drives aimlessly(无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
