Do you have many friends in this busy and noisy world? I think you can give me your answer without thinking for a minute. Friendship is so 1 that no one can live if he has no friends. One is happy to have a good friend to talk, laugh, and do some other things with. Everyone will feel 2 if he has no friends. Maybe you will say that sometimes friends quarrel (争吵)with each other, but it doesn't matter. That doesn't mean they no longer 3 each other. They will make up and become 4 again. If our friends go to another place, we will feel very sad. We 5 them very much, but we can 6 them or write to them. Maybe we will never see them 7 . And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out 8 we like new friends when we get to know them. There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who have no friends or have few friends. Why? Perhaps because they are 9 . Being happy helps you keep healthy. If you know someone cares about you, you

Solutions(解决办法) |
| My best friend Jack goes on vacation a lot and always brings me something expensive. I don’t have enough money to get him anything every time. What should I do? Bob |
Souvenirs don’t have to cost a lot. Show him you are thinking of him. That’s important. Imagine how excited he would be if he got a postcard from you! Miller |
| I have a crush on a movie star. I really wish I did not. I have had dreams about him, and I even find myself wishing to be his wife. Are there any ways to stop this? Alice |
A star is cute, but what else? What do you think is important for person? Being good-looking or kind-hearted? Remember that the star in the movie probably isn’t what he is like in real life. So don’t let yourself spend too much time on the star. Staying with friends or taking more activities will help you get him out of your mind. Miller |
| I’m always arguing with my parents. I hate it, but I can’t help it. What can I do? Harry  |
Sometimes it seems that our parents just don’t know us well, doesn’t it? When I’m arguing with my parents, I usually take a walk and calm myself down. It gives me time to clear my head. That means I can talk to them and solve(v.解决) the problem. Have a try—parents are easier to talk with when you are cool and calm. Miller |
