Unit Two Friendship Section A A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803~1882),American poet and philosopher A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes. -- Doug Larson (1902~1981), English middle-distance runner True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. -- Charles Caleb Colton (1780~1832), English author and clergyman Friendship is a treasure that always helps us overcome any kind of difficulty. Friendship is a comfort which always understands worries and emotions. Friendship is a blessing because it teaches the way to live. I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life. They say 揳 friend in need is a friend indeed? That抯 partly true. But a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments -- without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don抰 feel hurt if a friend doesn抰 feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. Although family life is fulfilled, it isn抰 enough! Both my wife and I get tremendous satisfaction from our friends, married and single, male and female -- and we both have our separate friends too. We certainly do! And as I say, our friends give us a lot of pleasure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a “spiritually developing” experience. 核心词汇： available estimate correspondence neighborhood tough shrug urge postpone reference absolutely reunion mostly awful destination skip practically 重要短语： a couple of be lost in choke up come up every now and then go ahead go by hang out keep up keep in touch (with) kind of /sort of know by heart not much of a on one’s mind or something in the distance 经典句式： might/may (jus
