Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. We can share s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} with our friends and turn to them for help when we are in trouble. In a word, it is nice to have a friend to t{#blank#}2{#/blank#}，laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel 1{#blank#}3{#/blank#} if we never had a friend.

     To make f{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, you must be friendly. A cheerful person smiles. A smile always makes others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} from him

     Try to remember names. It m{#blank#}6{#/blank#} your new friends feel happy when you call them by their names, b{#blank#}7{#/blank#} you don't forget them.

     No two people are just the same. If you don't agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Do not argue, but d{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. You always lose friends if you argue too much. And you should think more of others than o{#blank#}9{#/blank#} yourself. It's good for teenagers to have one or a group of good friends. This is very i{#blank#}10{#/blank#} in children's growing up, because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family members.

     There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.
