    English has only twenty-six letters, but they can make {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （thousand）of words, phrases and sentences. Among them, six letters are very important in our life: F-R-I-E-N-D. Yes, friend.

    Someone has said that there are three kinds of feelings which should be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （great）cherished（珍惜）：The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （feel）between lovers, among family members and with friends. None of them can be replaced by the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} two. Family members cannot be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （choose）, but friends can; love may last {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （little）than a month, but friendship can be life-long. What should we do to keep our friendship?

    First, remember even between friends, freedom is important. Don't think your friends are only {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （your）. Each has the right to live their own life. They can make friends with others {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they like. Then, please always share both {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （happy）and hardship among friends. This should be the basic thing of making friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
