         Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh,
    and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people
    around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
         No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t  mean that
    they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes
    friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to
    them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to
    find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.              
         Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and
    women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some
    schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There’s more good news for people
    who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier.
    Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares
    about you, you take better care of yourself.
    1.The first paragraph tells us _______.
    A. none needs friends
    B. we always need friends around us
    C. making friends is the need in people's life

    C. People can know their friends in different ways.
    D. People like their friends very much if they get to know them.
    3.People who have friends live longer than people who don't because _______
    A. they feel happier and are healthy
    B. they get a lot of help from their friends
    C. they take better care of themselves
    D. both A and C
    4. The main idea of this passage is _______.
