 Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.

  Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need com?panionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If,however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articu?late their feelings，they are more likely to recover from their grief.

  "No man is an island." In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love,admiration，respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will pro?vide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.

  As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.

  Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one's life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy，all friendships are based on reciprocity，honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.

  What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars，movies and DVDs，sporting goods，travel tickets，musical instruments，clothes and shoes―the list goes on and on.

  The idea came from Peter Omidyar，who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988 ，he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby，at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill and in 1998 by his capable CEO，Meg Whitman，he has never looked back. Even in the great,com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

  EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyers and sellers into contact with each other.All you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business：the world is your market place. Of course for each item(商品)sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.
