It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well, which doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those dont have friends. 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.21. The first paragraph tells us _. A. none needs friends B. we always need friends around us C. making friends is the need in peoples life D. we need to be alone22.

Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you cant understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor , you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make.
