Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.  
Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸彈爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home     .

Many people are nervous when talking to new people.    all, meeting strangers means    the unknown. And it’s human nature to     a bit uncomfortable(不舒服)about the unknown.
     our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts(懷疑)about      . We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall    too short, too this or too that, but don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself     you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束).You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to    self-confident(自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly    other people and smile.
If you see someone, you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for    person to start a conversation(談話).
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will    friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”. It    time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from     .
