If you want to meet people ad 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 . Join 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 the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubt about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding 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 other person at ease. Youll both feel more comfortable. If you see someone youd like to speak to, say something. Dont wait for the other person to start a conversation.

In some sates they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary schools.Most children go to public elementary schools and secondary schools.

If it has, would you kindly let me know as soon as possible?I would like to apologize beforehand for the inconvenience I have caused.

Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have carrying on for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”(诺亚方舟).Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎)，semen(精子) and DNA of the endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮)。 If certain species should become extinct ,Dr . Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms college of Veterinary Medicine(兽医学)，says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of animals will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells(细胞) from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant(植入) the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby) . It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking(开创性的) science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so its worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first ever try at cloning a dog.“ They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are trying to do . Its a research that is very much needed.”71. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas w
