A high school history teacher once told us, “if you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate．A true friend is someone who stays with you for life．” 1 teaches that he was right．Good friendship is just not easily 2 ．
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 3 friendship to 4 ．However, there can be 5 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want．
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 6 the kinds of friendship we want．Are they to be close or 7 at arm's length? Do we want to 8 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 9 enough---and that's right．But at some point we need to 10 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations．The sharing of 11 experience 12 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships．But it 13 be undertaken(进行)slowly and carried on only if there are 14 of interest and action in return．
What are some of the 15 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon．Deep relationships 16 time．Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention, Similarly, friendships 17 actions in return, in 18 words, you must give as much as you take．Finally there is a question of taking care of．Unless you spend 19 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters doing things together, friendships will die 20 ．
Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction．Hundreds of titles are published every year and are 1 by all kinds of people．What's 2 , some of the most successful films of recent years have been 3 on science fiction stories．
It is often 4 that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in 5 written hundreds of years ago．These books often 6 about the presentation of some form of ideal 7 , a theme which is 8 often found in modern stories．
Most of the classics(名著)of science fiction, 9 , have been written within the last one hundred years．Books 10 writers, such as Jules Verne and H．G．Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, 11 been translated into many languages． 12 science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories．They are more 13 in predicting the effect of 14 progress of society and the human mind, or in 15 future worlds which are a reflection of the world, in 16 we live now．
Because of this, their 17 has obvious political undertones(含意)．In an age when scientific fact frequently 18 science fiction, the writers may 19 it difficult to keep 20 of scientific advances．

On receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving lessons straight away．In New Zealand, the 1 driving age is 15．
However it wasn't 2 two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on the motorway．Our 3 was Urawa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away from my home in Auckland．That morning I 4 sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet(厕所)about three times 5 we left．I thought I was totally 6 for the journey, but nothing could have prepared me for my family's 7 ．"Relax! Don't hold the steering wheel(方向盘)so 8 ．The car is going zigzag(弯弯曲曲的), called a nervous voice from the 9 ．"Speed up．70 km/h isn't fast enough．You are holding up the traffic," another voice ordered from the seat next to mine．
How 10 ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves．To satisfy them I sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again．"Stop! 11 ! Are you crazy?” Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, 12 the speed limit was only 50 km/h．
My family seemed relieved(放心的)and 13 telling me what to do．They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed the scenery． 14 , that silence didn't last very long．My mum suddenly cried out, "Look at those birds above us． 15 they lovely?"
How did she expect me to look up in the 16 ? As the driver I had to 17 ．Who knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the 18 ? Four hours later we drove home．This time the journey was much 19 than before as everyone else 20 fast asleep．So, I just took my time and enjoyed the drive．
