    Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it's very difficult.
    Making friends is a skill, and the first thing is to know how to get on with others.If you have trouble in making friends, maybe I can tell you how to do it.Realize your own good points. You have skills and talents(才能) that others will like.Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others.Be humourous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile at others.
    Respect(尊敬) the others. Everyone has his own idea. Learn how to listen to others' ideas without trying to make them accept(接受) yours.
Be kind. If you are kind to others, they will usually be kind to you. There are hundreds of little things you can do to show your kindness. Open the door for someone. Wave to a friend and so on.
    Don't complain(抱怨). Learn to accept what you can't change, and work hard to change what you can. No one is willing to hear your complaints all the time.
    Never give up. Even if you are faced with some closed-minded people, never give up. And try to find someone who will understand you.

    LONDON (Reuters) — British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.
    Leech, 35, named "Hero Milkman" by the National Dairymen's Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering (递送) milk as usual a year ago.
    “I saw the flats up above and thought I'd better do something. So I kicked the door in and started pouring milk everywhere,”Lee told Reuters Thursday.
    “When firemen arrived, the fire was almost out,”he said. Firemen said he had helped save the lives of eight people living in the flats above the shops.
“It was hard work opening all those bottles, especially since they have tamper-proof lids. But it was even harder trying to explain to my boss where all the milk had gone.”

This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year's Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊地久天长》)。 It is the traditional music played during the New Year's celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.
The words “Auld Lang Syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version (版本) by Scottish poet Robert Burns was published（出版）in 1796. The words and the music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year's Eve. The version you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne, I would like to wish all our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.

   Here are some facts about homes in the United States and the people who live in them. In the early 1990s, about 50% of the Americans own their homes and the rest rent(租) their homes. The rented homes are usually apartments(公寓).
   74% of the people in the US make their homes in or around cities. 26% live in the country. Dogs live in about 40% of all homes in the US. About half that number have cats.
   Families in the US are becoming smaller. On the average（平均）,2.64 people lived in a home in the early 1990s. In 1960, the average was 3.5.
   Half of the teenagers in the US have their own bedrooms.
   An American moves, on the average，twelve times in his or her life. In Japan, a person moves about five times, and in England a person moves eight times.

    In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried a person, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the person knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried person. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.
    This idea is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility(责任) which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.
    Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.
    You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.
    People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can't afford their medicine or a doctor's care. Consider how you can “pay it forward”rather than pay money back to your grandmother.

Cricket is Australia's most popular summer sport. It is so popular that many people say summer does not start until Australia plays their first cricket game of the season.

It's known as the" Summer of Cricket". Most Australians will watch games on TV, listen to the news on the radio or play cricket games themselves.

Many even go to the stadium and watch games. They dress in green and gold and paint their faces to support their teams. Two teams of 11 people play against each other. They take turns at hitting a leather(皮制的)ball with a wooden bat(棒),The batsmen hit the ball to score runs. The team that scores the most runs wins.

Some of Australia's famous people are cricket players. The sport is very popular in other countries like the UK, India, South Africa and Sri Lanka. There are more and more cricket competitions starting in China. China has a men's and women's cricket team that is gradually getting better.

Men, women, boys and girls watch cricket. Traditionally it is a sport for men, but recently women's cricket has become more popular and there are now professional(职业的) female cricketers, too.

"The first day of the summer of cricket is one of the best days of the year," cricket player and fan Sean Prior said. "When I'm at work I always have the radio on listening to the game. Cricket is a big part of my lire.

If you are traveling to Australia, watch the cricket! It's just not summer without it.
