person still needs friends. our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. the best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. we need the support of our family, friends and the community. in turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family. the word “friend” has many meanings. it could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. it could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. this may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. it is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. the most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. a driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. we should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. we should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. each friend is unique in his or her own way. and all together, they enrich life and make it very colorful. 56. what is the main topic of the passage?a. how to sail through the sea of life. b. friends and friendship. c. a friend in need is a friend indeed. d. never forget old friends when making new ones. 57. what is the correct understanding of friends according to the writer?a. friends who share our happiness are not real friends. b. friends will take us through rough seas. c. friends never expect anything from others. d. friends can be different people around us. 58. an unknown person can be a friend as well when .a. he helps you with what you need b. he is told how to find his wayc. he becomes one of your family d. he is a driver taking you from and to work59. the underlined word “unique” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.a. rich b. poor c. special d. valuable60. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?a. we need to help our friends because it is our duty to support others. b. best friends need to share only their sorrows and discomforts. c. we make friends with farmers because theyre like the sunshine to keep us warm. d. we should forget the old friends when making new ones. bfish for fun! do

for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones. we once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the recreation center all the kids went to. my husband and i looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. i had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there. another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. they were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. this also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them i sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books. if youre just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it wont really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. if they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. thus, your children wont feel “lost” without their old friends. if youre able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. i know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the childs parents. think how happy the kids will

their old friendsd. parents should create more chances for children to make new friends74. the purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to _ when they move to a new place. a. get along with
