Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it (keep), the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best
(choose), but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget
(enjoy) the beauty of life and the beauty of friendship; they work hard in order to gain a
(high) position in the society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don't deny that
is important to find a better place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention
themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When
(stay) with our friends, we can release ourselves
(complete). We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people thinkmatters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that the oldest children,
are smart and strong-willed, are very likely
(succeed). The reason
this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for
same reason.
What happens to thechildren in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child,

(difference). The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in
lives. They usually
(follow) orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.
