A. Join a Class, Sports Team, or Club
B. Eat alone in Public
C. Talk to your Neighbors
D. Keep an Open Mind
E. Take Pictures
F. Meet People through your Job
What could seem like an exciting, fresh new start can also be a huge pain: moving to a new city. Whether you decided to pick up and go because of a job offer, or simply wanted to get away from your old town, moving to a brand new city allows for a chance to start a new----brand new image and all.
But the big move can also be terrible; especially if you don’t know anyone in the place you now call home.
So in order to create your new image, you’ll need a whole new crew. Here’s how to meet some of those new people.
61. _____________
One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of himself, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “Are you on Facebook?” or “If you’d like I can email it to you.”
This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.
62. _____________
If you don’t know anyone in a new city, it can be tempting to order take-out and retreat back to your lonely apartment or hotel room. Instead, try eating by yourself in public as often as possible.
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else.
Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.
63. _____________
Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, jogging, Toastmasters (a Public Speaking club), a class for work, martial arts, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!
These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.
64. _____________
You’re most likely to meet people at your office, so make sure to chat with the guy who sits at the cubicle next to yours, and try to make casual conversation with everyone from your manager to the guy who fixes the photocopy machine. This is your chance to spread yourself thick and make that extra effort, since you’re still considered “the new guy” and will be getting a certain degree of attention. Use it to your advantage.
Try to eat at the cafeteria rather than at your desk, and take people up on their offer to join them for lunch or go to the local happy tour; even if some of these people aren’t exactly “your type”, they might have friends that you’d love to hang with.
65. _____________
You may have never even known your previous neighbors, but home is a great place to start meeting people. There could be a whole pool of cool people in your apartment building or on your street, especially if you’re in the right area. So when you see some one from your apartment building getting their mail or a guy washing his car in his driveway, break the ice by asking a question that shows you’re new in town, like where the local video of liquor store is, and where the hot clubs are. Never overlook those that live next door, as they can always come in handy when you need them.
Women are friends, I once would have said, when they totally love and support and trust each other, and tell each other the secrets of their souls, and run no questions asked to help each other, and tell unpleasant truths to each other (no, you can't wear that dress unless you lose ten pounds first) when unpleasant truths must be told.
A woman friend is a friend all the way, I once would have said, but now I believe that’s a narrow point of view. For the friendships I have and the friendships I see are conducted at many levels of closeness, serve many different functions, meet different needs and range from the soul sisters to the most casual playmates.
Consider these varieties of friendship:
Convenience friends They’ll lend us their cups for a party. They’ll drive our kids to school when we’re sick…As we will do for them. But we don’t, with convenience friends, ever come too close or tell too much; we maintain our public face and emotional distance.
Special-interest friends These friendships aren’t close, and they needn’t involve kids or cups. Their value lies in some interest commonly shared. And so we may have an office friend or a yoga friend or a tennis friend. “I’d say that what we’re doing is doing together, not being together.”
Historical friends We all have a friend who knew us when maybe way back in Miss Meltzer’s second grade, when our family lived in that three-room flat. The years have gone by and we’ve gone separate ways and we’ve little in common now, but we’re still a close part of each other’s past.
Crossroads friends Crossroads friends form powerful links, links strong enough to last with just communication of a once-a-year letter at Christmas. And out of respect for those crossroads years, for those dreams and dreams we once shared, we will always be friends.
Cross-generational friends The friendship exists across generations in what one woman calls her daughter–mother and her mother-daughter relationships.
There are medium(中等的), pretty good, and such good friends indeed, and these friendships are decided by their level of closeness. For example, we might tell a medium friend that yesterday we had a fight with our husband. And we might tell a pretty good friend that this fight with our husband made us so mad that we slept on the sofa. And we might tell a such good friend that the reason why we got so mad in that fight that we slept on the sofa — he had a love affair with that girl who works in his office. But it’s only to our very best friends that we’re willing to tell all, to tell what’s going on with that girl in his office.
The best of friends, I still believe, totally love and support and trust each other, and tell each other the secrets of their souls, and tell unpleasant truths to each other when they must be told.

A. special-interest friends will drive your kids to school
B. historical friends remind each other of their shameful past
C. crossroads friends can maintain their friendship by writing to each other once a year
D. cross-generational friends seem to maintain friendship forever

They sat down at a table in his office and talked about college, about science, about her love of math and his hope that she and other girls wouldn't lose interest in those subjects, as happens to many girls as they grow older．
Then they talked about how much discipline she would need over the next eight years to make her dream come true．Both signed the paper outlining their agreement to the terms of the scholarship．Back outside on the sunny campus, Brittnie admitted she's tempted sometimes not to do her homework．"But not anymore," she said．
