It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends， you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You wont make friends staying home alone. Joining a club or a group， talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us， finding us too tall or too short， too this or too that. But dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are， and try to put the other person at ease. Youll both feel more comfortable. Try to act self-confident even if you dont feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers， such as a new classroom， walk tall and straight， look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone youd like to speak to， say something. Dont wait for the other person to start a conversation. Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that personfriendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.1.

I dont really understand how it happened， but I heard someone yell out， but then my boat， Wild One， went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was， oh， about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldnt see another day， but I always thought Id overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone， so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while， I saw the boats lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me， but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didnt see me was because of the huge waves. You know， I started sailing when I was seven， and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen， but Id never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive， but it was very cold， and as the hours passed I started to get desperateand frozen！ It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first， I thought they were going to miss me， and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help！” and they heard me. They covered me with as much dry clothes as they could， and a guy with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.4.

And Australian people love swimming and going to the beach. But it wasnt always that way.Different Climate， Different habitsWhen Europeans first invaded Australia， the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. Also some people worried that they would get sick if they wet their whole body.However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. At first， only men swam. They swam naked - there were no women to see them.Cover up！By the 1880s and 90s visiting the beach was very fashionable and a lot of people went there， especially in warm weather. They wore everyday street clothes - much more than people wear at the beach today.In those days， people believed they should cover most of their body so it would not be seen by the opposite sex. Special bathing costumes were designed for women. These costumes used a lot of cloth and were very heavy when wet， making it difficult to swim.Laws Made and Laws ChangedThe government decided to stop men swimming naked. It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6am and 7pm. Many people objected to this law and wrote letters to the government asking it to change the laws. In 1903， the laws changed； people could swim in the daytime， but they had to wear neck-to-knee costumes.The Shrinking CostumeAs time passed， swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient.At first men and women were covered from neck to knee. Then the arms became bare. Then more of the legs were uncovered. Each new change was regarded by many as shocking and rude and people wrote letters to the newspapers complaining about the new costumes. Nowadays some people go to special nude (裸的) beaches to swim naked.However， most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years ago - not because they think bare skin is shocking - but to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.8The climate of Australia _.A.made European setters think differently about swimmingB.change European setters swimming costumeC.made European setters hotterD.made European setters swim naked9During the late 19th century， swimmers should _.:学A.hide when they see a person of the opposite sexB.cover their bodiesC， wear many heavy clothesD.take no notice of their clothes10According to the law just before1903， people must _.A.not swim in the main daylight hours B.only swim between 6am and 7pmC. have a bath at 6am and 7pm D.swim with neck-to-knee costumes between 6am and 7pm11The last paragraph of the passage states that _. A.people worry about getting skin cancer from too much sun B.people protect their ten-year-old sons from bare skinC.people are shocked by the sun D.people think it rude to swim with the smaller costumesD China， known as the “kingdom of bicycle”， will see a quick growth in electric bicycle production in the next five years thanks to the countrys efforts to save energy and improve the environment. The output of electric bikes is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of at least 80 percent in the coming five years. China will churn out 30 million electricity-driven bikes in 2010， compared to 9 million bikes last year， according to a report from the Development Research Center under the State Council and other ministries such as the National Development and Reform Commission. The central government wants to reduce the amount of energy consumption (消耗) by as much as 20 percent within the next five years. That would be achieved through the introduction of new sources of energy and encouraging people to save energy， China Daily reported. The smoke from car exhausts (尾气) is a major cause of pollution darkening the sky in Chinese cities， especially Beijing. Industrial experts on Monday， called on the government to come up with more preferential (优先的) measures to spread the use of electric bikes in China. Electric bike production in China accounts for about 90 percent of the worlds total， making China the worlds biggest producer， consumer and exporter of the energy-efficient vehicle， the report indicated. The country last year sold about 3 million electric bikes to foreign countries， a figure expected to double to 6 million in five years. By 2010， the production value of the electric bike industry in China is expected to be 70 billion Yuan (8.6 billion US dollars)， almost four times the current level.12. Why will there be a quick growth in electric bicycle production in the next five years in China？A. Because electric bicycles can save the consumer more money.B. Because the central government encourages people to save energy.C. Because most people in China cant afford cars.D. Because the Chinese government limits the development of bicycle production.13. The underlined phrase “churn out” in the second paragraph has the same meaning as “_”. A. makeB. sellC. designD. export14. According to the report， _.A. China will produce 9 million electricity-driven bikes in 2010B. the central government of China wants to increase the amount of energy consumption C. China is the worlds second biggest producer， consumer and exporter of the energy-efficient vehicleD. the output of electric bikes is expected to increase at least 80 percent in the coming five years15.
