    It's hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It's easier to make friends when you have the same interests.

    Don't be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.

    Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they will find it easier to talk to you. If don't, people may think you are not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

    Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about 'me, me, me'. Ask lots of questions. Show interest in their answers.

    Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like — not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to a lot of people. If so, you will have a bigger group of people to choose(选择) from and have more chances (机会) to make friends.

"The Butterfly Lovers", one of the plays this spring, is changed from a s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} love story between a young poor man, Liang Shanbo, and Zhu Yingtai, the daughter of a rich family. They return as butterflies after their death (死亡). Another one, "Twelve Roles", which was shown in the summer, largely gets its i{#blank#}3{#/blank#} from an American film "12 Angry Men". Yueju opera, which developed around 1906 in Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of China's most famous operas. In the o{#blank#}4{#/blank#} days, people loved it because of its styles of singing and melodies (旋律) . Now, it is getting a new life. The performing season for young performers is held in its fifth year and has its own characteristic. Moreover, the project worked with BesTV to c{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a Yueju opera short video series (系列) about the 24 solar terms (节气) of the traditional Chinese calendar.

They t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} many ways to make traditional art forms attractive (有吸引力的) to today's youth, including (包括) the creation of short opera films and the use of popular melodies. "We believe that Xiqu (traditional opera) like Yueju can attract today's young people because it can be mixed with different art forms," says Chen Daming, a theater critic.

Keep learning. Maybe you are used to your present life. Every day you have so much work to do, you can't find any time to learn. However, the world around you is changing all the time. Never be satisfied with yourself, or you will fall behind others. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Be creative. In the modern world, the students who have creative thinking are needed most. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and having creative imagination. Those who are creative have more choices in their life. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Honesty is the best policy （策略）. Nobody likes a person who tells lies. The one who keeps his words is popular everywhere. 

As long as you have these qualities mentioned above, you will be excellent and make a difference to the world.
