Do you want to have a close friend? Do you know how to make a good friend? Now, let me tell you. Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

1.What does the underlined word scared( in para.2) mean?

Do you want to have a lot of close friends? In order to make it happen, you must do a lot of things right. You will learn tips on how to build a solid friendship.

You should be extra respectful when you are at others’ homes. For example, you must not make unpleasant comments about them. Once when I was at the house of a friend as a high school senior, I told him he had feet that looked funny while he had his socks off in his bedroom. He rebutted(反驳),“If you’re going to make fun of my feet, you can leave.’’

You must be a person of your word. For example, if you say you will do something for or with your friend, you must follow up on it.

You must respect people other than your friends.This includes respecting your friends’ family members and being polite to others in general.

It is helpful to be supportive. You should try to provide help when your friends need it.

You should understand them. Even if you do not agree with some of the things they do, you should show an understanding of why they do them and offer advice while avoiding telling them they are at fault for their problems.

You must be caring. You must put care into the things you do for them and show concern for their troubles.

Having a good attitude is a must. You must avoid being combative(好斗的)as well as being sad or mad too often.

Are you using a dating App to make friends? How do you know that Ben from London is really 25-year-old? Is his photo taken recently? Is his name even Ben? Dating apps can be tricky to operate, particularly when you’re trying to know whether someone is trustworthy, but one thing you can’t cheat is your gene, which is why a new dating app is using DNA as a basis for its match.

A dating app named Pheramor requires all users to hand in a cheek sample, from which a team of in-house scientists using a specially-created tool can queue the specific genes connected with attraction and then identify which users might be suitable. The process works by separating the 11 genes that link to our pheromones（信息素）, the chemical signals that are believed to control; one’s attraction. Combining this data with the personal information allows the app to make very specific matches.

“Pheramor uses both your biology and your social technology: we collect your genetic data through a cheek sample and collect your like, dislikes, and interest from your social media introductions like Facebook, Twitter, etc,” the app’s website explains. “All of them will be used in our specific software, which is designed to learn what you prefer.”

The co-founder Brittany Barreto, who has a PHD in genetics added that Pheramor’s technology digs deeper than traditional dating apps, making it almost impossible for people to cheat their way to a date.

The Houston-based app is already up and running but hopes to be officially put into market in February with 3,000 members.

1.What do we know about the new dating app according to Paragraph 1?

A. It can be operated easily by users.

B. It can know others’ trustworthiness.

C. It can select information on the website.

D. It can use DNA to make matches for users.

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. What Pheramor is.

B. How Pheramor works.

C. How scientists deal with the data.

D. How the genes are connected with attraction.

3.What will be used in Pheramor to learn the users’ preference?

A. Attraction and pheromones.

B. Pheromones and genetic data.

C. Social technology and attraction.

D. Genetic data and social media introductions.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To introduce a safe dating app.

B. To explore the future of the app.

C. To avoid unreasonable requirements.

D. To teach people how to design apps.
