Starting senior high school can be difficult．You may feel nervous because you don't know where to go for class．Meeting new friends might make you nervous，too．Don't worry．You are not alone．You are going to school with a group of students of your age，and we have several suggestions to share．
•Stay clean．No one likes a classmate with a bad smell．So you need to shower every day，brush your teeth and wash your hair．Try to make yourself look tidy，whatever you wear．
•Forget your fear and just talk to someone．Take a deep breath and find your voice．Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common．Sit in the middle of the classroom with many new friends around you．
•Differences are not a problem．Everyone has his own opinion of the world and everyone believes in different things．You'll find it good to have friends with different ideas．In this way，you can share and learn a lot more from each other．
•Join clubs．What clubs can you join？You can join the ones with the after﹣school activities that interest you．Being in a club helps you be more social．If not，you will just go to class and then go home．
•Ask others to join you．Are you sad being alone while others are playing happily？You will probably say"yes"．So remember to be kind to the people around you．If you see someone sitting alone，invite him to hang out or play games together．
根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）．

A scientist name Charles had a strange idea．He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver．It could also be used as a living room．That means you can go anywhere on your sofa in the car．You might say that it's impossible．But Charles succeeded in making it in a factory and named it Tridika．
Tridika has no wheels and it starts working when it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks（磁悬浮轨道）．It takes its energy from its tracks．And it works in the same ways as a magnetic train．It moves very fast．As everyone knows，cities are developing rapidly．There are more and more cars running on the road．So parking space is limited．Sometimes it's hard to find a place to park（停车）．Tridika can solve this problem easily because it needn't park on the ground．Actually，it can park on the outside wall of the building with the help of an elevator system（电梯系统）．In this way，much parking space can be saved．When Tridika parks itself in front of your apartment，you can get into your room directly．Of course，there must be a side door in the outside wall．Then Tridica becomes another living room．It's really amazing，isn't it？
Tridika can hold six passengers．So you can go on vacation in it with your family in your free time．of course it can also be sued as an office while you are traveling on the road．That is to say，you can travel and work at the same time．
