My mother used to ask me, “What is the most important part of the body?” When I was young, I thought 1 was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf but still live a2 life; keep thinking and I will ask you again.”
Several years 3before she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are4 fast, but the answer is not correct. Many people are blind, but they still live happily.” Over the years, she asked me many times and always her answer was, “No. But you are getting 5 every year, my child.”
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everyone was crying. When it was our turn to6 our final goodbye to him, my mother asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was7 when she asked me this. I always thought this was a game between her and me. I saw her eyes with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder (肩膀).” I asked, “Is it because it8 up my head?” She replied, “No. It is because it can hold the head of a friend or a relative (亲戚) when he or she9. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends, so you will10have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” That was when I realized what the most important body part is.

From then on, we became 26._______. The more I got to know David, the more I liked him. During the four years, we always studied, played together and had a 27._______ time.

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we can’t be more familiar with the fact of friendship, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends, especially with Americans. Here are some pieces of advice on making friends with Americans:

* Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs.

* Be willing to take the first step. Don’t wait for them to get close to you. Americans in China may not know you speak English. They may be uncomfortable if they can’t speak your language.

* Use small talks to open the conversation. Ask them where they’re from, why they come to China, etc. Remember: Be careful not to ask personal questions about age, salary and so on.

* Show an interest in their culture, their country or their job. Americans like to talk about themselves.

* Invite them to join you for dinner or just for coffee or tea. Try to set a specific （明确的）time. Americans sometimes make general invitations like “Let’s go out for a dinner sometime.” Often this is just a way to be friendly. It’s not always a real invitation.

* Don’t expect too much at first. Maybe they’re being friendly. But maybe they want to be your good friends. It will take time to tell.
