Love and Friendship

They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉圖式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? ___1.____

What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. ___2. ___ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

__3.____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. ____4.____ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. ___5._____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.

A．What about love?

B．My answer is “Yes”.

C．Let us try and understand.

D．Friendship does not have that.

E.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.

在某訪談節(jié)目中，五位嘉賓分別回答了來自主持人的五個問題，對少年兒童提出建議。請從下列提問（A, B, C, D, E和F）中選出與嘉賓的回答相匹配的問題。
Questions:

A．Whatwouldyousaytoteenswhoaresufferingfromdepression?B．Doyouhaveanysuggestionsforsomeoneinterestedinyourjob?
C．Doyouhaveanysolutionsforteens’writingdifficulty?
D．What advice can you give a young person on how to be a filmmaker or a writer?
E. Do you have any advice to offer others wishing to become a writer and doctor? 
F. After all these years in the limelight, how do you deal with critics?
1._________________________________________
George Lucas’ answer 
Well, I would say you have to be persistent first of all, because it’s a very hard thing to get into, and it’s very hard to make it because the odds are against you. So you have to really love it; kids who get into it because they think they’re going to make a lot of money or be famous or tell a lot of people what to do all the time will never make it. But if you’re obsessed with film and you love to tell stories and you love writing in that medium, then that will give you the strength to be persistent and make it happen.
2. _________________________________________
Tom Fontana’s answer
I’ve never had writer’s block. I’m trying my luck because I’m hoping never to have it. As far as suggestions, I don’t know. If you write at the same time every day, your brain and your heart will be there, ready to go to work. It’s like how you eat at the same time over the course of the day – you should be available to write at the same time every day. If you have nothing to write, you should still write. Whether you write your name 100 times or describe a banana. If you write for five minutes, and you just get the words down, at least you’re doing something.
3. _________________________________________
Drew Barrymore’s answer
I would just say to persevere and find people who are safe and honest and who will give you tough love and guide you through, because you really can’t do everything on your own. You need love and support around you, and to believe that you will get past these hard times. You will overcome. Things will get better. Life is a series of ups and downs, and the good news is that when you’re in a low, it will always go up again. Life is not a free journey. There are a lot of lessons you have to learn along the way, but just appreciate the gift of it and find people who will be honest with you.
4. _________________________________________
Richard Seltzer’s answer 
Become a doctor first because a writer doesn’t make a living – you have to support yourself and your family. But writing is a very individual thing. It’s like your fingerprint – on one else has exactly your style. A lucky writer will discover his or her style but an unlucky one will always be trying to force himself into an unnatural writing style. It’s uncomfortable, and for them, writing is painful. I’ve never suffered. My life has been a series of small, everyday events. If I feel I have rendered on little bit of life in the most compelling language I can find and am satisfied with it, that is an event I cherish.
5. _________________________________________
Ms. Jamie Hobart’s answer 
It is a long road after medical school and internship but my job is different every day and very interesting. Not everyone can do this job. Autopsies are very different from any other medical job. Here we don't really let anyone under 18 watch or participate in an autopsy. So take a basic anatomy course in college and if you don't mind the cadavers, then you might follow it further. You have to have a very strong stomach and a strong interest in the science. If you decide you really like forensics (the work of scientists who examine evidence in order to help the police solve crimes) but don’t want to do autopsies there are lots of other things in the forensic field like the DNA labor various evidence – related specialties.

根據(jù)短文內容，從下框的A～F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項。

A. Find inspiration around you

B. Spare no efforts to achieve your goal

C. Hold a positive attitude

D. Break the routine

E. Find a reason in everything you do

F. Take care of your health???

1.You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are not motivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts play a major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reach for you dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand, or you can reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.

2.Whether it is nature’s beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a better life, so strive to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.

3.One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities, learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.

4.A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack of motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (處理)life’s challenges each day.

5.Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your life each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating(致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself. No matter what challenges you have to face, for as long as you know that you are doing it for someone you love, you will find yourself motivated to do it.
