A

Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the

characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all

cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.

Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from

psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other

age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of

loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves

a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and

relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to

recover from their grief.

“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need

the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate,

our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.

As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or

intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals

involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded

by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense

friendships.

Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is

determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life

but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close

friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity

(互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.

(2015·黑龙江哈尔滨高三统考) 3 Hunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook.But many people are now

worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a

generation that is frightened to cook.I have just received a handout from Focus on

Food，which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen.Has

television cooking become a replacement for the real thing？Is this an age where famous

professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show，with dishes far too

difficult for the beginner to copy?

I decided to ask my oldest daughter，Miranda，for her opinion.Are children learning

enough about the importance of good cooking？Do they know cooking is a basic life

skill？Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well，but without the ability

to cook，or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship

to good health，are we really preparing them for adult life?

Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine，when she decided to enter the

Sainsbury’s Future Cook competition.She was motivated by a different kind of greed：the first prize—a trip to Disney World.

The problem，from the parental point of view，was that if she made it through to

the regional (区域性的) finals，she would have to cook her meal in front of the

judges.Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional

finalist.Now she had to learn to cook.Her hands were not even big enough to hold the

knife and slice the onions.Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella

meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.

First，she cooked by my side，then alone with timings and instructions.Finally，she went alone against the clock.The kitchen looked like a battlefield，but she had
