IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people are relatives but
are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that
does not mean you make him or her a friend.
When I had my near- death illness last year and the following long recuperation, I had a lot of time to think
about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help, sorry, that is not friendship. If
their attitude is “for better or worse”, if they stick to you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you
can tell it is true friendship.  I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late
80s when my friend, Ken, really needed me but I did not come through for him. I remember hanging out in my
happy suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I got to
apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.
I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and other times,
clearly, not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people overcoming the barriers to friendship to find
some real communication at some point.

IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An evening out with the
closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact our best friend can prevent us from developing
serious psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time- we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with
people who share common interests – as school or through hobbies, for example.

times. If you have not got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too much on your
work.
