if someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. the person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow or busy or shy. perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. in fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. although some factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least many factors that will work in your favor.you might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. there are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. you may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. there are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. if you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. you can decide to feel inferior because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. you can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. on the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person. the point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.【小题1】according to the passage, plays an important role in making friends. a. admitting your shortcomings b. self criticism c. modestyd. confidence【小题2】if you are not liked by a person, . a. you should find the reason in yourself b. youd better talk with the person face to face c. you may not be the one to be blamed d. you and that person misunderstand each other【小题3】we can learn from the third paragraph that . a. your good qualities may make you earn more money b. your weakness may also be your strengths in some way c. your negative qualities may cause you to lose friends d. youll have few friends if you dont share the same interest【小题4】 which of the following is true according to the author?
