Here are some tips to help you overcome these obstacles to make friends.Spend time with other people. If you want to make friends, you first need to meet people. If you're still in school, sit somewhere with other people. It doesn't have to be the "popular" table, or a crowded one, but one with at least two other people. Remember, friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit at home playing computer games.Start a conversation. There are many ways to do this: a comment about the environment (The weather is a classic: "At least it's not raining like last week!"), a request for help ("Can you help me decide which one is a better gift for my friend?") or a compliment ("That's a nice car."). Follow up the conversation immediately with a related question.Keep in contact. People may lose contact with their friends either because they're too busy, or just because they don't value their friends enough. When you lose contact with a friend, the friendship may disappear, and even when you do try to contact them again, it's also hard to continue the friendship.Be a volunteer. Volunteering is also a great way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together, you might meet others who have a passion for doing things the way you do.The main purpose of the article is _______.A to talk about how to be a good friendB to give advice on making new friendsC to explain why people make new friendsD to describe what a good friend is like

题目解答

答案

我们来一步步分析这道题。

一、题目分析

题目问的是：
"The main purpose of the article is ____."
意思是：“这篇文章的主要目的是什么？”

这是一个典型的主旨题，我们需要找出文章的核心内容或作者的写作目的。

二、文章内容概括

文章开头提出了一个问题：
“如果你很害羞、不知道怎么接近别人，或者只是缺乏自信，该怎么办？”

然后文章给出了几个建议，帮助解决这个问题，从而交到朋友：

  1. 多和别人相处：比如在学校里坐在有人的地方，不要总是一个人。
  2. 开始交谈：可以通过评论环境、请求帮助或赞美别人来开启对话。
  3. 保持联系：不要因为太忙或不够重视而失去联系。
  4. 做志愿者：通过志愿活动结识志同道合的人。

这些建议的共同点是：帮助害羞或缺乏自信的人交朋友。

三、选项分析

A. to talk about how to be a good friend
意思是“谈论如何成为一个好朋友”。
→ 文章不是在讲“如何成为好朋友”，而是“如何交到朋友”。
排除。

B. to give advice on making new friends
意思是“提供关于结交新朋友的建议”。
→ 这正是文章的主要内容，文章从头到尾都在讲如何克服害羞、不自信等问题来交朋友。
可能是正确答案。

C. to explain why people make new friends
意思是“解释人们为什么交新朋友”。
→ 文章没有解释原因，而是直接给出方法。
排除。

D. to describe what a good friend is like
意思是“描述一个好朋友是什么样的”。
→ 文章没有描述好朋友的特征，而是讲如何交朋友。
排除。

四、结论

文章的主旨是：给害羞或缺乏自信的人一些交朋友的建议。

✅ 正确答案是：

$\boxed{B}$
