Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, to laugh, and to do things with. Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. ______ But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we couldn’t even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There’s good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? The reason could be that they are happier. Being happy helps them stay well. Or the reason could be that they know that someone cares them. If someone cares about you, you would also take good care of yourself.

【推荐3】It seems that self-help books are on the top of the best-seller lists more often these days. More people are turning to self-help books for advice.
Many of the self-help books are written by famous people or psychologists (心理学家). They teach us how to solve problems in our life-for example, how to get along with our classmates, how to use our time well and how to find happiness in life.
But can these books really help us with our lives? People think differently about this.
Julie Hall, from London, is a self-help book lover. After reading more than 300 self-help books, she set up her own self-help website (网站). Her site helps children study well. They can learn English and science for free. And if they want to learn to program, they just need to pay a little money. “They can give you the way to do what you want to do and know more things,” she told The Independent.
However, experts at the University of Montreal in Canada might not agree with the idea. They studied two groups of people—one of the groups read many self-help books, while the other didn’t. They found that people in the first group were more stressed out.
There is no “quick fix” to improve our lives. However, it’s always good to know that help is at hand when we need it.
1. What do self-help books teach from Paragraph 2?a. How to live happily.
b. How to manage (管理) our time well.
c. How to get along with people around us.
d. How to make progress (进步) in our study.
A.abc | B.bcd | C.abd |
