addresses, last name, the phone number or the name of school in letters. its also against the rules to ask a member to contact another member outside of the club. every member needs to get the okay from their parents to become a member at the circle of friends club. girls looking for friends wont find a safer site than the circle of friends club. in addition, theyll have a chance to meet other

important discussions. using small talk, you can achieve big results. but many people do have fears that hold them back from making small talk. for one thing, those who refuse to make small talk usually fear the unknown. when i was little, my mom said, “dont talk to strangers!” for some people, that childhood fear of strangers continues into adulthood.suppose you are at a business networking event and have checked out who is there and found potential (潜在的) conversation partners. youre ready to make your move, but there are butterflies in your stomach. you are too frightened to introduce yourself to total strangers.consider a different situation for the next networking event you attend. to overcome your nervousness, you can think of yourself as an events host and not its guest. as a host, you would introduce yourself to people you dont know and introduce them to others. you can play the role of the host even though you are not the actual host. get in the habit of holding out your hand first and saying, “hi, my name is .”another reason why people refuse to open their mouth is the fear of rejection（拒绝）. anytime you open your mouth and speak, you risk rejection. if you never talk to people, you wont be rejected. but if you never talk to people, you will also be very lonely. the best way ive found to overcome the fear of rejection is to focus on how i feel when i am accepted. so ask yourself: what do i have to lose? nothing! what do i have to gain? possibly everything! think back to when you first met your best friend or any important person in your life. how did it all start? you probably started with small talk.34. the underlined part “there are butterflies in your stomach” probably means you are _. a. busy b. nervous c. confident d. excited 35. when you are at a business networking event, you are advised to _. a. talk with the host b. behave yourself c. try to be helpful d. play an active role36. whats the purpose of the text? a. to advise. b. to discuss. c. to describe. d. to introduce.cbelow are some comments from the community. please feel free to add to the list. l some fantasy readers are unhappy with their lives and think that they would be happier
