write the rest sentences by yourself.
2b Read about what these people think.
Underline the differences between the
friends and circle the similarities.
My mother told me a good friend is
like a mirror. I’m quieter and more
serious than most kids. That’s why
I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we
enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books- you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same.
My best friend Larry is quite
different from me. He is taller
and more outgoing than me.
We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
I don’t really care if my friends are
the same as me or different. My
favorite saying is. “ a true friend
reaches for your hand and touches
your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
2c Are the statements true (T) or false (F)?
Jeff is less serious than most kids.
Jeff and Yuan Li are both quiet.
Jeff thinks it is easy for him to
make friends.

2d How do you and your friends compare with
the people in the article? Write five sentences.
I’m different from Jeff because I'm louder
than the other kids in my class. My best
friend is similar to Larry because she’s
less hard-working than me.

2e Which saying is your favorite? Which friend do you think about when you read this saying? Why? Tell your partner about it.
1.A good friend is like a mirror.
2. Friends are like books- you
don’t need a lot of them as
long as they’re good.
You don’t need to a lot of them as long as
they’re good. 朋友不在多而贵在好。
此句中“ long” 为副词， 与as…as…构
成一个固定搭配 as long as, 用来连接句
子，表示 “只要……”。 又如：
We can talk about this as long as you want.
只要你想谈，我们就可以谈谈这事。
It’s fine as long as you’re happy.
只要你高兴就好。
3. My best friend helps to bring out the best
in me.
4. A true friend reaches for your hand and
touches your heart.
My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.
我最好的朋友能帮我激发出自己的所能。
bring out 是个习语，“使显现；使表现出”
bring out the best/ worst in someone 译为“ 把
某人最好的（或最坏的）一面表现或显露出
来”。 又如：
In the basketball game, it’s important for
the players to play together and bring out the
best in each other.
在篮球比赛中，队员们密切协作， 是大伙都
发挥到极致是很重要的。
A true friend reaches for your hand and
touches your heart. 一个真正的朋友
是在需要时给你帮助，使你感动。
此句中“ hand”引申为“ 帮助， 援助”；
“heart” 则为“情感；感受” 例如：
Can you give me a hand?
你能他帮我一把吗?
