People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You've made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend:

Always be honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

My name is Philippe and my wife’s name is Sophie. Recently we were faced with a difficult situation while travelling by car in the mountains. It was a long ride and we were tired. Just as we wanted to rest for a short time, the engine(发动机)made a strange, loud noise and then stopped working.

The sun was just setting and the air was getting cooler. We were in a place far away, with no houses in sight. We started to hear the cries of wild animals, so Sophie was nervous. We didn’t have much food and it was getting colder, and darker.

A couple of hours passed. Suddenly, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A stranger got out of the car. He looked unfriendly at first, until his mouth opened with a wide, friendly smile. He asked us to get into the car with him. He had such a kind face, and we knew we could count on him.

He drove us to a village, where his cousin lived. His cousin offered us tea and local foods. Everyone was excited to have unexpected guests. Later that evening, when we prepared to leave and thanked our new friends, I couldn’t believe the reply from the cousin: “No, we thank you for coming into our home.”

I will never forget the kindness we received on that day because we turned to a complete stranger for help.

A.The engine stopped working. B.They found a village.

C.The sun was rising. D.It was getting warmer.

2.Why was Sophie nervous?

A.Because a stranger stopped their car. B.Because their food and clothes were stolen.
