One day, my mother said she wanted to buy me some new clothes. I was very happy and surprised because my family didn’t have much money at that time. I bought three dresses: a pink one, a blue one and a yellow and blue one. I liked that yellow and blue dress best, I often played and studied with my best friend, Sara. I was happy to show her my three new beautiful dresses. She loved them and was happy for me. But at the same time she felt sad because she could only get new clothes on her birthday. So I asked her to pick out one of the three dresses of mine.
Then she picked my favorite one the yellow and blue one! I was not happy. You know, I was only a seven-year-old girl. She tried it on and felt very happy. I didn’t want her to feel bad. So I told her it looked great on her. When I told my mother about it, she said, “Kelly, you’re a good girl.”
I shared my dress with my best friend, and she shared her joy (快乐) with me. That’s true friendship (友谊). And we are still best friends now.

—George Eliot
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying (献身的) deed, one word
That comfort the heart of him who heard,
One look most kind
That felt like sunshine where it went
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the lifelong day,
You’ve cheered no heart, by yea or nay,
If, through it all
You’ve nothing done that you can trace (找寻)
That brought the sunshine to one
No act most small
That helped some soul (灵魂) and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost.

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

Should I continue to just give without expecting anything to return?

![]() ![]() Life is all about give and take. Sometimes you’re the giver and sometimes you’re the taker. It sounds like you’ve already been quite generous (慷慨的), which is nice. But at the same time, you shouldn’t let people take advantage of (利用) you. Not everyone in the world plays fair - some people only take and never give. You can talk to your friends about this. It’s not always easy to make things fair, but we at least have to try. If your friends still don’t see why you’re upset, it might be time to end the friendship. But at least give them a chance first. ![]() |
![]() ![]() This is a difficult question. I think you should find out why your friends want to make friends with you. I used to buy food for my friends a lot, but my parents asked me not to do this too often. They worried that my friends might take advantage of me. But I’m confident that they are not. I stopped buying them food for a while and nobody complained (抱怨), instead, they bought me some snacks. This makes me and my parents believe that they are true friends. So I think you could do the same. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

【推荐3】Everyone needs friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality.
Maybe you have social faults which drive away your new acquaintances (相识的人). Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly, and make an effort to correct them. By doing this, things can be better. Besides, to be friendly, you must feel friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis of friendliness. A cheerful person smiles. A smile is a magnet which draws people. Smile at someone and you are almost sure to get a smile in return.
When communicating with each other, a friendly person does his best to make a stranger feel at home. Put yourself in the other person’s place and make him feel welcome. And try to remember names. It makes your new acquaintances feel happy when you call them by their names. It gives them the feeling that they have made an impression on you and that must mean something to them because you remember them.
Sometimes, if you do not agree with other people on a certain matter, you should try to be as friendly as possible. Do not argue, but discuss. You always lose friends if you argue too much. If you want to be a friendly person, remember to think about others, and do not insist on(坚持) your own “rights”. People who refuse to consider others have few friends.
At last, don’t treat people only according to their social position (社会地位). Really friendly people respect everyone at all times.
