    About friendship

    Section B

    We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship．

    Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends．But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality．Loyalty is the most important for friendship．No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them．

    No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends．It is not based on bloodline．It relies on your intention．To you, some friends are fun－loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity．Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate．In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person．So friendship can benefit．

    　　One day in 1965, when I was a librarian at View Ridge School in Seattle, a fourth grade teacher came to me．She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge．“Could he help in the library?”e asked．I said,”Send him along．”

    　　Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and T-shirt appeared．“Do you have a job for me?” he asked．

    　　I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books．He picked up the idea immediately．Then I showed him a pile of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them．He said,”Is it a kind of a detective job?” I answered yes, and he became a continuous detective．

    　　He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced,”Time for rest!” He argued for finishing the finding job; she made the case for fresh air．She won．

    　　The next morning, he arrived early．“I want to finish these books,” he said．At the end of the day, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes．He worked untiringly．

    　　After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home．At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbor school district．Her son’s first concern, she said, was leaving the View Ridge library．“Who will find the lost books?” he asked．

    　　When the time came, I said an unwilling good-bye．Though at first he had seemed an ordinary kid, his zeal(热情)had set him apart．

    　　I missed him, but not for long．A few days later he came in the door and joyfully announced：“The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library．My mother got me to come back to View Ridge．My dad will drop me off on his way to work．And if he can’t, I’ll walk!”

    　　I should have had an idea such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go．What I could not have guessed, however, was that he would become a wizard(奇才)of the Information Age：Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft Microsoft and America’s richest man．

    　　In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play－writing at Harvard, joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University．I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly．I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and to make him feel at home．

    　　His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness．They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name．

    Indeed, his students made so much of his powers of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself．My chance came one morning when the students were slowing gathering for nine o’clock classes．

    　　Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teacher as an office．He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around．

    　　He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out．“Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door．Without the least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the window．

    　　As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise．He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I’ll remember it all.”
