Passage 9

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime.We move from town to city to suburb,from high school to college in a different state,from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere,from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement.With each move we are forever making new friends,who become part of our new life at that time.

For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships.Today millions of Americans vacation abroad,and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people.No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend,but the beginning of a friendship is possible.

The word friend can be applied to a wide range of relationships to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place,to a fellow worker,to a childhood playmate,to a man or woman,to a trusted confidant(知已).

Passage 10
