B. Read the passage carefully , then choose the correct answer
There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “ True friendship is like sound health;
the value of its seldom known until it is lost”, and “ A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest
of the world walks out”. When you read these quotes , stop and think about your friendship. Do you and
your friends act in a caring way towards one another, do you respect them and do they respect you, but
most of all do you value the relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just
hanging out together at lunch and gossiping about other people . True friendship is when two people
have mutual respect for one another, and really care about the each other’s feelings and dreams . You
need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a time where you feel that you cannot tell
them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not understand , then they are not true friends .
Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others . Friends also care
about each other , stick up for one another and enjoy spending time together.
