awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I don"t remember much
about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I don"t know
how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip(输液). We benefit greatly from
our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss.
Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of
relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships,
those that we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is
what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial(商业的)relationships,
those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return.
Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness,
and true friendship. In pleasure friendships, he said, "It is not for their character that men love
ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant." About the usefulness friendships, he
said, "Those who love each other for their utility(效用)do not love each other for themselves, but
because of some good which they get from each other."
Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable
gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short
period and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory
of personal gain.
It is precisely this non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is
offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threatened when we
are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense,
irrational(不合理的). Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without
that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the true
basis of friendship.
B. advise people to visit sick friends
C. introduce the topic of true friendship
D. talk about the experience of surgery
B. mutual support in times of trouble
C. personal gain or personal loss
D. immediate pleasure
B. discussing questions
C. analyzing causes and effects
D. providing examples and facts
B. there are no specific reasons for friendship
C. short-term pleasure is the center of friendship
D. everyday amusement is the true basis of friendship
B. Friendship in Economic Recession
C. Friendship in the Age of Economics
D. Friendship in a Fast Paced Life

time to 1 the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing 2 colors. The children, sitting
nearby, suddenly all spoke together: "Not the measuring stick."
"No," I 3 them. "Not the measuring stick."
The measuring stick isn"t a (an) 4 stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen
and dining room. Along the edge we"ve 5 each child"s growth by making a mark showing his
or her 6 on every birthday. Over the years so many colored pens, pencils and markers have been
used, that now, this white door is somewhat like an abstract painting.
Names and dates show different 7 , and I can tell by the script(手迹) who measured whom.
An eight-year-old measured her three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my
husband measured me. At the parties, when this door 8 back and forth frequently, friends stop
to 9 the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to be always remembered, they usually
smile 10 and go back right up into place, 11 to be measured.
Many of those listed on the door are still 12 ; some have stopped. Some remain with us only
in 13 . When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured
her too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven"t 14 the new kitchen color plan yet, but one thing is certain: whatever color we
choose, the back of the kitchen door will always remain 15 , with lots of names and dates in
various colors.

| Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me. Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers won"t immediately appear on the scene. For many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. | |||

| As I grew older, Dad was to build all sorts of things for me as I explored a variety of interests: magic tricks, a toy circus, neighborhood shows and science projects. From as early as I can remember to the time I left home for college, I continued to come to him with a design or an idea, and he would figure out how to build it. In fifth grade, a schoolmate and I wrote a puppet(木偶) show that we wanted to perform for our class. I made the puppet heads myself, and I made the costumes and curtains with Mon-who was as expert designing and sewing with cloth as my father was designing and working with wood and metal. With Dad I made the puppet stage, in our own invented style between kid and adult with me saying something like, " It has to be this high, and it needs to come apart and fold up so it can fit in the backseat of the car, and it needs to set up fast, and it needs to have different colored lights on top with switches you can reach to control them and a curtain you can pull from under it, even if you still have a puppet on your hand." Dad figured out how to make it all work, making plans as we went along. Then with the tools in his shop he built it, and I helped. Dad also spent a lot of time out in the garage or in the driveway working on the family car. I don"t remember that he ever took it to a professional auto-repair shop. Maybe to save money, but also because he could usually figure out what needed fixing, just by taking it apart and looking. Though not trained as an auto mechanic, he could look under the engine cover and take parts and pieces out, spread them on a tarp (油布) to catch the oil and figure out what was supposed to happen to the machine and then figure out what wasn"t happening and then replace the worn-out part or whatever and then put everything back together again. | |||
