How to get a friend back
If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them,the best approach is openness,honesty,and a willingness to acknowledge your friend's feelings. 1 Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
2
There is most likely a specific reason for the rift (裂縫) in your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend,consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren't aware of.
Beware of assumptions.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend's distance,don't jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. 3
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize,be specific about what you’ re apologizing for. 4 For example,if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’ re spending all your time with a new friend,it isn't appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. Instead,talk about how you're sorry you haven’t been making time for your friend.
Call your friend or ask to meet.
5 Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. If you ask to meet,try to avoid unclear phrases like, “We need to talk." These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead’ try a more emotionally rooted approach like, “I miss you,” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together."
A. Reflect on what happened.
B. Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C. It's probably best to talk in person if you can.
D. Your friend might have something troubling them.
E. Make sure it's sincere: what are you really sorry about?
F. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G. Take your time,be thoughtful,and hopefully you can repair the damage.

Roman Krznaric used to regularly walk past a homeless man around the comer from where he lived in Oxford and took almost no notice of him. One day he stopped to speak to him.
It turned out his name was Alan Human and he had a degree in Philosophy,Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford. They afterwards developed a friendship based on their common interest in Aristotle's ethics(倫理學) .
This unexpected meeting taught Roman that having conversations with strangers opens up our empathic(同情的) minds. We can not only meet amazing people but also challenge the prejudices that we have about others based on their appearance, accents or backgrounds.
Furthermore,it's about recovering the curiosity everyone had as a child. Respect the advice of oral historian Studs Terkel,who always spoke to people on the bus, “Don’t be an examiner,be an interested inquirer(探究者).”
The world's first Empathy Museum is starting in the UK in late 2015 and will then be traveling to Australia and other countries. Among the unusual exhibitions will be a human library,where instead of borrowing a book you borrow a person for conversation — maybe an unhappy investment banker or a gay father. In other words,the kind of!people you may not get to meet in everyday life.
As the psychologist and inventor of emotional intelligence Daniel Goleman puts it,without empathy a person is “emotionally tone deafIt's clear that with a little effort nearly everyone can put more of their empathic potential to use. So try putting on your empathy shoes and make an adventure of looking at the world through the eyes of others.
11. Why did Roman and Alan become good friends?
A. They helped each other.
B. They felt pity for each other.
C. They shared the same interest.
D. They had to depend on each other.
12. What should adults learn from children?
A. Never judge by appearances.
B. Be curious about others.
C. Never talk to strangers.
D. Always be polite.
13. According to Paragraph 5 ,in a human library you can .
A. act as a librarian
B. borrow your favorite books
C. meet ordinary people in life
D. expect a talk with someone special
14. Which of the following is TRUE according to Daniel Goleman?
A. Emotional intelligence cannot be improved.
B. Most people don't have empathy for others.
C. It is important to develop empathy for others.
D. Deaf people have little emotional intelligence.

In 1970,Cincinnatian Will Radcliff discovered a slush machine(冷飲機) when he was at a Chicago trade show. One evening,Radcliff asked for the help of his mother and sister to brainstorm some names for his would-be slushy drink. Over a six-pack of beer,they wrote down a Landfill of possibilities on a brown paper bag and came up with the idea for Slush Puppie,which would feature a cartoon dog as their logo (標識) . Shortly thereafter,Radcliff spent all the money he had and founded the company.
Though other iced drinks such as ICEE already existed,Slush Puppie was different because it was a non-carbonated drink created with flavored syrups (糖漿) and water that are mixed together in a machine and then frozen.
When Radcliff started what would become a multimillion-dollar enterprise,only four flavors were offered: cherry,grape,orange,and lemon-lime. Today,there are more than 40 flavors available,many of which contain fresh juices and vitamins. An eight-ounce Slush Puppie contains 119 calories,which would take a 31-minute walk to bum off. Yet,it has a very pleasant taste.
Radcliff’s flavored iced drink business took off and by 1999 sales had reached $25 million a year — that's a lot of slush!An astute businessman,he eventually pushed his idea into a global phenomenon; Slush Puppies have found their way into 62 nations,including parts of Africa and Europe,via 650,000 machines.
In 2000 Cadbury Schweppes bought Slush Puppie Corp., and in 2006 J&J Snack Foods — which also owns ICEE — purchased the company from Cadbury. By this point,Radcliff was ready to retire and had purchased more than 3,000 acres of Florida wetlands,where he built a large farm and became a fierce advocate for land conservation.
Unfortunately,Radcliff died on September 18 ,2014 in Cincinnati. Even though Radcliff' s no longer around,his Slush Puppie will live on.
1. One evening,Radcliff's family helped him to.
A. hold a show B. design a bag

B. It cannot be found in Europe.
C. It is delicious but high in calories.
D. It is not attractive to J&J Snack Foods.
3. The underlined word “astutej” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
