7．It's hard to adjust to（适应） attending a new school．Everything seems new．Making new friends can be hard too because people seem to have formed their own group．The following are some ways to help you make friends at a new school．
Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school．（36）G If you think that you will say something that will offend（冒犯，得罪）them，do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you．
Be yourself．（37）E If your friends don't accept you for you，they're not really friends．Most people belong in a certain group simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interest fall into that type．For example，someone who likes sports may make friends with people who also like sports．
（38）A Anywhere，in the bathroom，near your locker，or at the water fountain，you can find someone that has something in common with you．All you need is to know how to approach them．Give a smile or say hi．Introduce yourself．Tell them your name and where you're from．You never know where you can find a nice friend．
（39）C You can take part in a sports club，an art club or a foreign language learning club．Even if you don't know anyone there，you'll all share a common interest，and you can experience people with different personalities from yours that have the same interest．
Figure out who the"mean girls"or the hot-headed jocks"（鲁莽、急躁的肌肉男）are（40）F But don't be mean to them and don't completely avoid them because they may be nice people．Also stay away from people who are in gangs and do criminal activities．
A．Make the first move．
B．Do something nice for someone．
C．Join after-class activities you like．
D．Make eye contact with other people．
E．Never change who you are to try to fit in．
F．These are the people that you might want to avoid for a while．
G．Make sure to be nice to people of all cultures and backgrounds．
分析 本文主要向人们介绍在一所新的学校里交到新朋友的方法．
解答 36．G 考查上下文逻辑．根据前一句Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school你一定要友好对待你在新学校遇到的任何人．后一句Make sure to be nice to people of all cultures and backgrounds．一定要善待所有文化背景的人．符合逻辑，所以答案选G．
37．E 考查上下文逻辑．根据前句be yourself做你自己，后文句子Never change who you are to try to fit in永远不要改变你自己，以适应他人，后文如果你朋友不能接受你那他就不是你真正的朋友，所以选项E符合逻辑．
38．A 考查上下文联系．根据下文句子All you need is to know how to approach them．Give a smile or say hi．Introduce yourself．Tell them your name and where you're from．你所需要的就是知道如何接近他们．微笑或者说你好．介绍你自己．告诉他们你的名字和你来自哪里．这些行为都是告诉你要主动交朋友，所以答案选A．
39．C 考查上下文逻辑．根据后文You can take part in a sports club，an art club or a foreign language learning club．你可以参加一个体育俱乐部，一个艺术俱乐部或外语学习俱乐部．这些都是学习之外的活动，所以C选项Join after-class activities you like参加课外活动符合前文逻辑．
40．F 考查上下文联系．根据下一句But don't be mean to them and don't completely avoid them 但是不要对他们太刻薄，也不要完全回避他们．可见前文说的是你想回避他们，所以答案选F．
点评 七选五"这样的题型，主要目的在于"考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握．解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1．理清文章的逻辑和结构，2．在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词．文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选项．这些技巧多练练就能孰能生巧
