When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very  36  because of this.

But a girl with dark skin and ling shiny hair changed me. Here best characteristics are her openness and   37  . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I   38  became a happy girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt  39  and helpless and I was afraid that I would  40  her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me :“Rain, you can achiever more than I do, so  1  to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great  42  she was to me at that time.

However, it turned out that my concerns were well-founded（有根据的）. I felt that the   43  between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.

I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I   44  her several times intending to tell her to think easefully about her relationship with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not   45  . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked   46  but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.

Now I firmly believer that distance and time can’t   47  you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.
