Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. 　16　 　is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people 　17　 . But we would feel lonely if we 　18　 　had a friend.

　　　 No two people are 　19　 . Friends 　20　 　don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean 　21　 　they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up(言归于好)and become friendly again.

　　　 Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very 　22　 . We miss them very much, but we can 　23　 　them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can 　24　 　new friends. It is surprising to find out 　25　 　we like new people when we get to know them.

　　　 There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
