It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for_28_friendship to _29_. However, there can be_30_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have it clear in our _31_ what kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _32_ at arm's length? Do we want to _33_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _34_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 35 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of_36_experience _37_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _38_be undertaken(進(jìn)行) slowly and carried on only if there are _39_of interest and action in return.
　　What are some of the _40_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _41_time. Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _42_ actions in return. In 43 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _44_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _45_?.

When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.”   36   tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily   37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for   38  friendship to   39 .

However, there can be   40  disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our   41   the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   42   at arm’s length? Do we want to   43  ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   44  enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to   45   that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of   46  experience   47  our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it   48  be undertaken（進(jìn)行）slowly and carried on only if there are   49  of interest and action in return.

What are some of the   50  of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships   51  time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships   52  actions in return. In   53  words, you must give as much as you take.

Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   54  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die   55 .?
