  As a saying goes, “If you have a good friend, your joys are doubled and your sorrows are halved”. Friends are a helping hand, a comforting shoulder to lean on, a patient ear to listen to you and most importantly, a warm and loving hug to embrace(拥抱) you. Man is a social animal by nature. We all need friends, as they are there for us when we need support, just as we are there for them whenever they need us. Therefore, it is necessary for you to know how to make friends.

The first step is to open yourself up. If you want to make good friends, you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people first. Only when you share something of yourself with others, can you begin making friends. When your friends open a conversation with you, they are usually expecting you to share information in return. That is to say, when you are in a conversation, you’d better express your own thoughts and feelings. If a conversation is one-sided, the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying. So, when talking with your friends, be sure that the conversation is a two-way street.

One of the most important keys to building a solid friendship with other people is to listen to them—really listen. When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain（埋怨） about a situation, they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard. So don’t try to change their mind or solve their problems, just let them know that you are listening to them.

Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong. Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect, as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.

Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have. True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it, crying with them when they are sad, and laughing with them when they are happy. Only in this way, can the tree of friendship last for a long time.

Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good   16  , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to   17  . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this   18  , and took every   19   she could find to practice these high   20  . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without   21    the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a   22   or a person coming along the   23  , she stopped and   24    until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a   25   person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.

One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so   26   and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most   27   notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious   28    suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to   29   all his tires carefully.

Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as   30   as he had been when he stopped.

The world has changed and being intelligent isn’t normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale : it has a huge brain, but it still doesn’t know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can’t succeed in life because they can’t communicate well with the world around them.

Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.

This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can’t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty（傲慢的）. And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.

It doesn’t help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don’t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people.

1. The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ____.

2. Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ____.

3. What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?

4. We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ____.
