A high school history teacher once told us， “If you make one close friend in school， you will be most fortunate. A 1 friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 2 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 3 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place 4 enough for true friendship to develop. However， there can be 5 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， 6 we need to have it clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 7 at arm’s length？ Do we want to 8 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface？ For some people， many friendships on the surface are 9 enough. And that’s all right. But at some 10 we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark 11 is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must 12 slowly and carried on only if there are 13 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 14 of our friendship？ The greatest is to 15 too much too soon. Deep relationships 16 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other， including his time and attention. 17 ， friendships require actions in return. In other words， you must 18 as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 19 time together， talking on the phone， writing letters， doing things together， friendships will die 20 .

A Strange Greeting， a True Feeling. Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient， an old man， got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to 1 ， but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.
“Frank！” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t 2 ， as I knew， but all the time 3 his foot against mine.
My 4 raced back more than thirty years to the 5 days of 1941， when I was a student in London. The 6 was an air-raid shelter， in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.

me because he wasn’t 10 ， not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then， but he had 11 of a mind than a baby has. His “ 12 ” consisted of rough sounds ― sounds of pleasure or anger and 13 more. Mrs. West， then about 75， was a strong， capable woman， as she had to be， of course， because Frank 14 on her entirely. He needed all the 15 of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She 16 nearly everything she owned.
When that sort of thing happened， the rest of us helped the 17 ones. So before we 18 ，that morning， I stood beside Frank and 19 my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night， then， I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that， his 20 to me was always the same.
