Do you have many friends in this busy and noisy world? I think you can give me your answer without thinking for a minute. Friendship is so 　 31　 　that no one can live if he has no friends. One is happy to have a good friend to talk, laugh, and do some other things with. Everyone will feel 　32 if he has no friends. Maybe you will say that sometimes friends quarrel(争吵）with each other, but it doesn’t matter. That doesn’t mean they no longer 33 each other. They will make up and become 　34 again. If our friends go to another place, we will feel very sad. We 　35 them very much, but we can 　 36　 them or write to them. Maybe we will never see them 　37　 . And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out 　38 we like new friends when we get to know them. There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who have no friends or have few friends. Why? Perhaps because they are 　 39 .Being happy helps you keep healthy. If you know someone cares about you, you 　 38　 take better care of yourself. Do you think so?

　　I have a very cute hamster named Barter. Barter has a dark cream-colored body （米色的身体）, and a short tail. He has four tiny feet with sharp claws （尖尖的指甲）and tiny long teeth. He also has a “pocket”on each side of his mouth, for storing food.

　　Barter loves food. His favorite is corn （玉米）. If I give him a bowl of corn, he will eat every bit in a few hours.

　　Barter is quite lovely. He's just over six months old and loves to play. He plays in the hamster wheel every night. When he plays around, he runs here and there, his body looking like a ball of fur（绒毛）rolling about （滚动）. He gets very upset if someone bothers （打搅）him.

　　I like my little pet Barter very much. He's brought me so many laughs and joys.

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I   16 . I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s day I give my father   17  , too.” But what about the other days of the year?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We had a nice talk. Then she wanted to   18 . So she dialed the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen   19 , she dialed the number again, “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “  20  did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and   21 . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them   22  time to answer the call. ”
