As we move through life, we find that there are many things out of our control. One thing that we can control is who our friends are. It is important because it either makes our lives colorful and enjoyable or more stressful and disappointing.

Why Do We Need Friends?

Friends can enrich your life in many ways. Some people even say friendships are just as important as eating and exercising.

◇Friends help you improve your health Research shows that healthy relationships actually help you stay in good physical health. ◇Friends bring out the best in you. Great friends have the power to bring out the best in you. They encourage and push you to do better and be the person you want to be-your “ideal self”. ◇Friends help you beat stress Friends can help you deal with stressful situations. If you know there’s someone you can depend on, you may be less stressed.

How Many Friends Should We Have?

You might think that you need to have tons of friends to be happy, but actually, it isn’t the number of friends, but the quality (品质) of friends, that leads to the true happiness. There are always some close friends who you always share all your good and bad experiences with. You also need some friends with whom you share the same interest.

How Can We Make a Good Friend?

Anyway, developing and keeping healthy friendships includes give-and-take. Sometimes you’re the one giving support, mistake and other times you’re on the receiving end.

Letting friends know you care about them and value them can help improve your friendships.

Be open and honest to your friends. If you feel good around them and they care about you, you know you have a good friend.

Friends are important in our lives. But not all of friends stand the test of time. We spoke about friendships with Marisa Franco, author of Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make And Keep Friends. Here are five tips to remember if you’re losing a friend.

Sometimes things just fizzle out (不了了之)

    1     “Things fizzle out,” Franco said. “Nobody really wanted the friendship to end, but people got busy and didn’t keep the friendship.”

Make the unsaid said 

    2     Franco says. In friendship, problems get bigger if we don’t address them. “We might be afraid of arguing, but if we think about it and talk peacefully, that can be a sign that you care enough to fix the friendship,” Franco said.

It’s normal to feel grief (悲伤)

    3     Allow yourself to feel those feelings and be patient with yourself. Franco said, “When society doesn’t value a relationship that you’re losing, you have trouble grieving.” It makes the grief last longer. We should think like “Of course, I’m sad, I lost someone I’m close to”. Instead of being like “What’s wrong with me?” “And you can’t put a timeline on grief. Grief is just a process of feeling emotion over time.” Franco said.

Find ways to express those emotions. You can’t put a timeline on grief. “Grief is just a process of feeling emotion over time,” Franco said.

Be kind to yourself along the way

Franco said it’s important to forgive yourself for not getting over the loss of a friendship.     4     Don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid. “Your image of friendship in your brain isn’t just colored by this one experience,” Franco said.

A．When a friendship ends, there is a grieving process.

B．When a close friendship ends, the reason is often hard to say.

C．Allow yourself to accept new friendships.

D．Talk to others if you are really upset.

E．Losing friends is a part of life.

9 . 阅读下面短文，用英语完成思维导图。

After 12 hours on the operating table (手术台) and 4 hours of sleeping in bed, I woke up in the hospital with my leg bandaged. For the next three months, I couldn’t walk; I couldn’t drive; I couldn’t even take a shower on my own.

I turned to my husband, Adam, and asked, “How are we going to deal with all the problems in front of us? Who would pick up our kids each school day? Who would feed and walk the dogs? Who would prepare dinner?”

“We’ll work it out.” Adam said. I just nodded (点头) my head, saying nothing. But nowhere in my heart did I believe him. Not even a little bit.

I shared my accident on the Internet. And something I never expected happened: friends both near and far asked me how they could help. I wrote back, thanking them all but not accepting their kind offers. But when we got back home, a friend helped to take care of our meals for the first month of my recovery (恢复). Parents in our school picked my kids up from school each afternoon. Friends sent books and food.

My children also changed a lot. They no more asked me to send them to school, to prepare their lunch boxes or to make sure their homework was in their bags. They learned to do it by themselves. Each day after school, they ran back home quickly to see if I was fine. My daughter tried many ways like playing light music or funny movies to help me go through the hard time. When I was taking my slow, painful PT exercises (术后康复训练), my son got a for k or a bottle of water for me whenever he was asked, never complaining. They all seemed to be better for my accident.

I couldn’t walk; I couldn’t drive; I couldn’t even     1     on my own.
I asked my husband how we are going to deal with all the     2     in front of us.		A friend helped to take care of our     3    . Parents in our school     4     from school each afternoon.		My children all seemed to be     5     for my accident.

One day, Bill   asked Mark if they could talk.

Bill reminded (提醒) him of the day when they first met. “Do you ever want to know     6     I carried so many books home that day?” asked Bill. “I cleaned up my desk and took away all my books so that I wouldn’t leave a mess for anyone else.
