It's difficult when you have no good friends around - maybe because you have moved toa different school or a different class or you re sick at home.没有朋友你也许会感到寂寞。You want to have new friends. But how to make them? How do you start? How do you get along with people? Here are five ways to help you to do these.

    Greet(闾候)people

    Greet people and hope that they have a good day - whatever time of day it is. It doesn't hurt any people. It also makes people think you're friendly.

    Share

    Take something to eat in your pocket. Ask if people would like to have some, and at the same time hand it to them.

    Help people

    Simple actions, like helping people carry something or opening a door show yourkindness.

    Smile

    Perhaps smiling is the easiest way to introduce yourself. There's a great reason why ittakes fewer muscles(肌肉)to smile than to cry. Nature just wishes us to smile more.

    Respect(尊敬)others

    The world's full of differences. So learn to respect others. It is the only way otherpeople will respect you.

    Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

    The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider (提供者) you are using For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).

    The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

    And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

    Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

⑴Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term or a year. Studying abroad can be an exciting experience for many people. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

⑷Get your passport and visa early. Before you go, learn some of the language and read about some common customs in the country that you are going to learn about the money. Bring some of it with you. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

⑸After the first few weeks abroad, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their families, friends and familiar ways of doing things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school and culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others or write about your feelings in a notebook. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Do you like travelling? How can you make your trip interesting? Here's some advice.

    Read!

    Before you leave, you should find some information about the place, such as geography, history and people. You can understand the place better by reading.

    Take photos!

    If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don't choose the sight you can see in other places. For example, Qingdao and Ningbo arc coastal（海滨的）cities, so don't only take photos of the sea.

You should talk photos of something else, too.

    Taste!

    You'd better taste some specials in the area. Food in some places is very delicious. So why not taste it? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.

    Write!

    When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write down that you see and what you think during the trip.
