（浙江）外研版初中英语八年级下册期中复习（题型专练）：任务型阅读

五位在中国某中学的交换留学生Terry、Max、Pedro、Julia和 Carl想结交一些中国朋友。请仔细阅读小题有关五个人的情况材料和 A、B、C、D、E五种交友方式，然后分别找出符合各人要求的最佳选项。

Terry wants to make friends with the most popular girl in his class because everyone else likes her.

Max talks to a girl in his class on Monday, but on Tuesday he's afraid to say "Hi".

When Pedro feels uncomfortable talking to someone, he starts to look away.

Julia often asks herself, "Why do I have so few friends?"

Carl is never sure what to talk about when he meets people.

Ways to make friends

A	Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you. It's very difficult to have a conversation with people whose eyes are looking to the left, to the right, at the floor—anywhere but the other person's face.
B	Have confidence in yourself. Think of your good qualities(素 质 ). People are attracted to those with self-confidence.
C	Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect, and admire(钦佩)—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have greater chances for making friends.
D	Plan things to talk about with people. Find out what's in the newspaper headlines, listen to the top CDs, learn about what's new with your favorite TV or movie star. The more you have to say, the more people will be interested in having a conversation with you.
E	Once you start to get to know someone, don't be friendly one day and then too shy to talk the next day. Be consistent ( 前后一致的). Consistency is something people look for in friends.
F	You should not be too confident. If so, sometimes you might annoy people. You should enjoy the company of other people so that they would like to come to you when they want advice.
