I remember when I was growing up, my mum always said, "Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others." It's so true. Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moment. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I've always looked on friends as the family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Steven once said, "A friend is a present which you give yourself."
To be a good friend,①成为一个好的听众是很重要的. Hear what your friends say first rather than making conclusions (结论) quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them. It can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.
Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule, "Care for others the way you would like them to care for you." The support of a friend during a difficult time could make the difference between success and failure.② Encouragement and confidence are the best gifts that can change a person's life.
We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge effect on our life. As someone told me, "The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons (按钮) on a lift. They will either take you up or down."

During the rainy season, rainwater along these waterways moves down the mountains and into the terraces.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} This forms clouds and then rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
Though modern technology could help produce more crops (庄稼), these terraces still mean a lot to the local people. For them, traditions have too much value (价值).
A. Why do people turn the mountains into terraces? B. It is quite useless for the people to work there. C. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour (水蒸气). D. Summer sees the mountains turn green with growing rice. E. It took them hundreds of years. |
