1．有两个原因使友谊无价：它是快乐之源，也是健康的组成部分。

快乐和幸福的感觉在与朋友们分享的时候会变得更加强烈。

有朋友们参加的特别庆祝活动会变为甜蜜的回忆。

另一方面，当我们遇到问题而沮丧不安时，朋友是有助益的。

与富有同情心的朋友交谈可以减轻我们的恐惧，因此我们的压力也会得到缓解。

有时我们会为待人不善而内疚，朋友会让我们宽心。

所有这些有助益的交流会提供具体的来自友谊的情感获益。

在许多方面，友谊是有治疗效果的。

在青春期和老年期，朋友是我们获得安慰和乐观情感的重要来源。

2．虽然友谊让我们的生活生辉，我们无法一生保持拥有所有的朋友。

人们被志趣相投的人所吸引。

兴趣在人生不同的时候会变化，朋友也是一样。

然而人们常常也会有几个终身的朋友。

他们坦诚地分享秘密，一点也不会担心被嘲弄。

我们也会从信赖友情中获益。

同样地，人们也以同样的方式从我们这里获益。

背叛信任会毁了友谊。

勿庸置疑，友谊对于完整、幸福和健康的生活至关重要。

B.
1. The Americans would neither expect a friend to respond to their wishes without
stating them nor expect a friend to drop everything to respond to a non-urgent
need.
Reason: They would feel that they had imposed too much if the friend gave up a real need to respond to a non-urgent need.
The Chinese would offer to assist you without waiting to be asked. There are few limits on what you can ask or expect of a friend.
2. The Americans are likely to change even “best friends” several times over the
years.
Reason: Because even close friendships may not survive life changes and they are usually tied to specific circumstances or activities.
The Chinese seem to expect their friendships to stay the same over a long time, maybe for a lifetime.
3. Westerners prefer to be independent rather than dependent in their relationships.
Reason: Because for Westerners, friendship is mostly a matter of providing emotional
support.
The Chinese friends give each other much more concrete help and assistance than Western friends do.
4. Westerners help their friends think out the problem and discover the solution in
times of trouble.
The Chinese are more likely to give specific advice to friends in times of trouble.
5. Westerners use polite forms between close friends.
The Chinese do not use polite forms in their close relationships.
As a result, the Chinese may seem to be too direct or demanding to their Western friends.
Conclusion: Chinese people and Westerners expect and treat their friends in
different ways due to the different cultures.。
