| Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card. The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to ? 4,000. The first Japanese card has a value of about ? 28,000.

| Read the passage and answer the questions. Everyone wants to own the friendship, because without a friend, the world is like a desert. The friendship is thought very important. Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out, and you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust in one another to speak and do things honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings. These can be valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. In fact, good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will die away. 1. Is it easy to keep a good friendship? ____________________________________________________________________. 2. What are the three rules to be a good friend? ____________________________________________________________________. 3. Which is the base of friendship among the three rules? ____________________________________________________________________. 4. How do you let your friends know you? ____________________________________________________________________. 5. In what way can you keep friendships long? ____________________________________________________________________. |
