　　Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends．While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few－for example, the average among students is about 6 per person．

　　　　(1)　　

　　At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions．

　　　　(2)　　

　　We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks．Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances．Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends．　　(3)　　

　　Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs and the same opinions and interests－they often talk about“being on the same wavelength”．The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another．They want to do friends favors and hate to let them down．　　(4)　　

　　In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people．　　(5)　　

A．Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term“friendship”．In all cases, two people like each other and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly．

B．Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion．Imagine going on a long trip with some one you occasionally meet for a drink!

C．As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence．Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background．

D．The sharing of close secrets, including our fears as well as our dark dreams, is the surest way to deepen friendships．But the process must be gone through slowly and continued only if there are signs of interest and our efforts are answered．

E．A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness maybe wrongly understood as unfriendliness．People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence．

F．But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race．
