 Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people are
relatives but are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate or
admire someone, but that does not mean you make him or her a friend.
When I had my near- death illness last year and the following long recuperation, I had a lot
of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help,
sorry, that is not friendship. If their attitude is “ for better or worse” , if they stick to you through
troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true friendship. I do have some friends,
but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late 80s when my friend, Ken, really
needed me but I did not come through for him. I remember hanging out in my happy suburban house
in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I got to apologize
for that but Ken said he did not mind.
I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends,
and other times, clearly, not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people overcoming
the barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some point.
36. According to the writer, _______
A. all lovers are friend. B. all your relatives are also your friends.
C. whoever you admire is your friends D. not all workmates are friends.
37. In true friendship, ___________.
A. your friends are always scared of you.
B. friends stick to each other through troubles and difficulties
C. we should have as many friends as possible.
D. friends are scared of helping each other.
38. What happened to the writer last year?
A. His wife passed away B. He was seriously ill
C. He had an interesting experience D. He had got some new friends.
39. We can learn from the text that _______
A. the writer had a house in suburb in Menlo Park
B. the writer came to help his friend, Ken, when his friend’s wife died.
C. whenever his friend, Ken, had a problem, the writer immediately came to help.
D. the writer. And Ken are true friends at all time.
40. The writer did not come to help Ken_________
A. so Ken was very angry. B. and he did not apologize.
C. but Ken did not mind. D. so they were no longer friends.

Everyone has a (1)___________ of acquaintances, but no one has many friends, for true friendship is
