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           
   10  take better care of yourself. Do you think so?

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish? '
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
