A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A 21 friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 22 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 23 .

The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark 31 is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must 32 slowly and carried on only if there are 33 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 34 of our friendship? The greatest is to 35 too
much too soon. Deep relationships 36 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. 37 , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must 38 as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 39 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 40 .

Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his 21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a 23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to 26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She 28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about her in my diary, she would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 38 respond（回应）and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people 39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people 40 them are doing.
