There are three different kinds of friends — "pest friends", "guest friends" and the "best friends". The first kind of friends is simply acquaintances(泛泛之交), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don't miss them when they are not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, it may be difficult to stop them. That is why they are called "pest friends".

The second kind of friends could also be called "social partners". They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family stories; you usually have a few things in common. However, you don't talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don't open up to you how they really feel either.

The last kind of friends, the "best friends", is those you know the deepest. You're like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem with staying at each other's houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you're wrong, and although they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose(故意地) to hurt you.

We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships, no matter how deep or how superficial. Remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Dear Teens,

①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?

②One of the answers to these questions is personality(性格). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes (pass on from its parents) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.

③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will-help you change your personality.

④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just sell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.

⑤It you are a sluggish person who always does things slowly, you'd better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.

⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings. No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.

There are so many languages that you can't hope to learn them all, but there's one language which you can use to communicate with everyone: your smile.

 Smiling can show people that you' re friendly. And we have more than fifty different kinds of smiles for different situations. When something is funny, we usually smile with an open mouth. If we are happy, our eyes become smaller when we smile, but if the skin around our eyes doesn't move, our smile is not real. If we are proud of something, we keep our lips together.'

 But what if you are in a bad mood? It's hard to be happy all the time. Some people try to cheer themselves up by watching funny films. Others like dancing to their favorite songs or eatıng sweet food. Others do sports every day to put themselves in a good mood. But there's another very easy way to feel happier: smile. When you smile, your body starts producing the things which are called endorphins(内啡肽 ). These endorphins send a message to your brain that you, are happy. And there's something more important. When you smile at someone, they often smile back at you. This action produces endorphins in their, bodies and they feel happier too. A part of their brain remembers you as a person who makes them happy. You' re halfway to having a new friend. And that's something you can truly smile about.
