When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36 tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 38 friendship to 39 .
However, there can be 40 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, but we need to have clear in our 41 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm’s length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 44 enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 45 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 46 experience 47 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 48 be undertaken（进行）slowly and carried on only if there are 49 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give as much as you take.
Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 54 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 55 .
