Just like any relationship, best friendships depend on trust, promise, respect and interests. When any of these elements（要素） is missing, the friendship will be hard to go on. If the trust is totally broken, you may not be able to forgive him/her.
Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets tired of putting the heart into it. This can happen when one of you finds a new friend or even a new hobby that takes up much time. Or, perhaps you find the relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some distance（距离）. Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other. Sure, it seems sad at the time, but it's completely normal.
Not all friendships are meant to last forever. So, what should you do if something like this happens to you? Read on for some friendly advice.
Whatever the reason you're breaking up with your best friend is, always remember that he/she was once super important to you. Take the time to sit down and tell him/her what's going on and why. Don't send him/her an unpleasant e-mail. Don't start ignoring him/her though you're busy with your new hobby. In fact, maybe he/she has known there's a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat. If you're not sure about wanting an end forever, you could suggest you two take a break from each other. If, after a while, you realize why you became the best friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors.
Whatever you do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for his/hers. And if you both agree the Best Forever Friend thing is over, make sure not to be enemies.

【推荐2】There have been many great inventions or things that change the way we live. The first great invention is the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much any more. They began to work in order to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. It was also a time when a new material was first made—Nylon(尼龙), which came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The Earth was known to man but stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their own steps into space.
In 1969, man took his biggest step away from the Earth. Americans first walked on the Moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

【推荐3】When I was little, my mom was a drug addict (吸毒成瘾者). We didn't always have food or clean clothes, and I never had a room or even a bed of my own. It made me feel lonely, like no one cared about me.
So at age 11, I decided to move out after my mother disappeared once again. I walked to my aunt Gwen and uncle Butch's house. When I arrived, we had a conversation about what was going on at home. Finally, they asked if I would like to live with them.
It took courage (勇气) to make the decision. I was both scared about leaving my mother and excited about life with my aunt, uncle and their children at the same time. I used to spend weekends with them, but never more than two days. After thinking carefully, I decided to live with them, hoping it would help me move forward in life.
After I moved in with my aunt and uncle, my life was more stable (稳定的)--I had meals every day, clean clothes, and my very own bed. For the first time, I felt certain about my future.
At the same time, I missed my mom. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night crying and wondering where she was. But she continued her drug habit. I only saw her from time to time.
I lived with my aunt and uncle for five years. Looking back, I know I have made a right decision. The situation taught me an important lesson early in life--it's best to depend on courage, not fear, when making decisions.
