　　A high school history teacher once told us,“If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate．A 　　1　　 friend is someone who stays with you for life”．　　2　　 teaches that he was right．Good friendship is just not easily 　　3　　．

　　It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place 　　4　　 enough for true friendship to develop．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, 　　6　　 we need to have it clear in our minds 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 all right．But at some 　　10　　 we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations．The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark 　　11　　 is the surest way to deepen friendships．But it must 　　12　　 slowly and carried on only if there are 　　13　　 of interest and action in return．
