24、sions: A friend in need is a friend indeed.“A friend in need is a friend indeed.” The popular saying means the best friend is the one who helps you when you are really in need of help. I agree with the proverb. Friendship means having people who you know will help you if you are ever in trouble. He
25、should be ready to help you especially when you have difficulty. If he doesnt try his best to help you, hell be too selfish to others. If so, you can draw a conclusion that he is not a true friend.As we all know, friendship plays a very important role in our life. However, the problem is that many p
26、eople misunderstand the meaning of friendship and overlook the significance of real friends. Real friendship is of great necessity for many people who suffer the pains of modern society and do not have a solution. Much to the disappointment of us, it is a fact that friends are no longer that availab
27、le like before. We must notice that friends can provide much needed comfort and service. They are people one can turn to at times of difficulty. In this case, to have real friendship is the right way out of the trouble. It would be responsibility of friends to help each other out of their trouble.Fr
28、om my point of view, real friendship has really functioned in helping people out of problems and into happiness. The principle in making friends is to be honest and faithful to each other. It is highly necessary for us to start to be honest and faithful to people in order to maintain really healthy
29、friendship. We then have reasons to be confident that in the near future, everyone could be happy with true friends around us. Only in this way, can we pull friendship back to the right track.When you meet your friend, does your face shine you have found gold?“When you meet your friend, your face sh
30、ine you have found gold.” This proverb means when you meet your friend, youll feel very happy as if you had found some gold. I dont agree with the view. We cant mention friendship and money in the same breath. We cant measure friendship with money. We also cant compare friendship to money.Money isnt
31、 everything. As we know, money is quite different from friendship, which is a kind of valueless treasure in the inner world, while money just stand for a necessary which has no relation with friendship. Even though some people believe that money will provide everything, it cannot buy or guarantee fr
32、iendship and happiness. Money makes a man welcomed everywhere, but he cant make true friends. One has many friends when he is prosperous; but as soon as he is in need, most will desert him. When rich, a man has many relatives, most of whom are but flatterers. In my experience, being on the opposite
33、side of a business deal from a friend or relative can ruin a good relationship and damage their friendship.The idea that friendship can only be measured by money is dangerous. It may mislead people to make friends just for getting as much material benefits as he wants from you. That will corrupt peo
34、ple and produce a money-oriented society. True friends should be honest and faithful to each other. Therefore, its high time that we educated people, especially the young, to develop a positive attitude towards money and friendship.Step V HomeworkFinish off the WB Exx and sum up the whole unit.Colle

Here, seven ways to be a better friend.Number 1 Like yourselfThe first step in having a food relationship with a friend is to have a
46、good relationship with yourself. When we genuinely like ourselves, we become more attractive to other people. We have more to offer others because we are not constantly focused on our own image and reputation.We become better friends because we dont cling. We are secure enough to spend time with a f
47、riend because we want to, not because we need to. Number 2 Choose wiselyRelationships among true friends take plenty of time and energy - two resources in limited supply for all of us. Identify the friends with whom you wish to create a closer bond. Its perfectly okay if not all the people you know
48、make the list. The closeness of your connections is far more important than the length of your guest lists.Number 3 Make the first moveThis is where I have trouble, and I know Im not alone. If you want to improve your relationships, put your fear of rejection aside and start taking more risks. Invit
49、e your friends to lunch. Organize a new playgroup. Invite them over for dinner.Too often, we fail to follow up with our friends. Dont miss out - just make the first phone call.

Slow down. Try not to finish your friends sentences. If you catch yourself planning your response while
52、your friend is still talking, gently remind yourself to focus on the speaker. Show her you are listening. Maintain eye contact. Offer nods and murmurs that indicate you understand her point of view. Minimize distractions. Ask questions. Be careful with advice. Assume your friend wants to just vent h
53、er frustrations, not ask you for a plan of action. Avoid the phrase, “what you ought to do is.” Offer your opinion only if your friend specifically asks for it (and you believe she will benefit).Number 7 Be loyalWe all need someone in our corner. If your friend isnt there to defend herself against gossip or criticism, speak up, and know she would do the same for you.版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
