A
When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines (确定) who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you’ll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First,don’t let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when you’re wrong—even if you’ve been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third,see things from your friend’s point of view (观点).And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).

At eighteen years of age,I flew up to San Francisco to meet a pen pal who I had written to for over a year.The first thing we did when we got home was to bake chocolate chip cookies,and our strong ties were formed.From laughing at the burnt cookies,to eating the chocolate chips instead of putting them in the dough (生面团),it was fantastic.We became best friends.Twelve years later,we still reflect on that moment,and laugh with silliness and joy.
Fast forward to 2003,I was in my first month of training in radiation oncology(放射肿瘤学),and scared.I was in a new city,alone,and afraid of having to make a new start.One patient that we were treating used to come into the department with freshly baked goods for everyone once a week with a smile on her face.She was treated with a really tough regimen(疗法) for her cancer,yet she still overcame the pain and exhaustion(精疲力竭) to bake for the department.I once asked her why,and she said it gave her purpose and meaning.
This purpose was far greater for me than a simple cookie.I really didn’t know how to bake,and I told her that.She then invited me to her home for lessons.With her as a guide I learned some of the art of baking.While baking we talked about life,regrets,and dreams.We soon became very close friends.
A few weeks later,her husband came to the department and gave me a large box with a handwritten note.I opened the box.Inside was a Kitchen Aid mixer,and the note saying,“Please remember me when you bake,keep at it and you’ll change the world.” He told me that her cancer had spread.She was in her final stages of life.I cried and cried.It was simply the most generous gift that I had ever received.
