Did you know that people without friends are more likely to die an early death? It’s true. Just ask science. The following types of friends are just what you need.
A Loyal(忠诚的) Best Friend
Everyone needs a loyal best friend who will support them no matter what happens . This is the kind of friend who knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
An Adventurous Friend
We live in a big world where there are so many places to see, people to meet, and experiences to be had. We all need an adventurous friend who will pull us out of our shells and introduce us to new ideas, cultures and activities.
A Wise Mentor
If you have someone smart, inspiring (启发灵感的) and admirable (令人敬佩的) in your life, you’re extremely lucky. He’s simply someone who’s a few steps ahead (在…之前) of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience to guide you in the right direction. Being around such a person will challenge us to better ourselves every day.
A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the nicest and most helpful people ever.

配对阅读。左栏是对5个学生做演讲时存在问题的描述，请在右栏为每个学生选择一个合适的建议，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。

1.Paul: I don’t think I can talk fluently(流利) because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. 2.Billy: When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? 3.Amy: When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this. 4.Betty: I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. 5.Tony: Should I talk in American English or British English?

A．Looking at and talking to one person in the audience helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one. B．The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying. C．Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to listen to a relatively(相对) deep voice. D．When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. E. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages. F. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势),you will feel uncomfortable. G. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.
