“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.

The
Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in Australia for about 60,000 years. They painted
pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so
much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that
are about 10,000 years old show men with boomerangs. From this we know that the
Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures
show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.
The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earth—the earth belongs to the spirits.
In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.
Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.
1. The Aborigines painted pictures .
A. on animals’ fur B. on the land
C. on the tree D. on the rock
2. What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?
A. To paint. B. To hunt. C. To fight. D. To play.
3.. The Aborigines thought were the most important on the earth.
A. people B. animals C. spirits D. plants
4. In an Aboriginal group decided things.
A. the older men B. the leader
C. the English D. the Europeans
5.The number of the Aborigines is small today .
A. because their living condition was very bad
B. because the English killed a lot of them in the wars
C. because of the new illnesses the Europeans brought them
D. because of the wars and the new illnesses
