五、第二節(jié) 回答問題（共1小題；每小題10分，滿分10分）

• 23．Four types of friends you need in your life
      Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime？The survey shows if people want to live longer and more happily，they need to have some friends who can share their sadness and happiness or can be helpful when they are in trouble.
      The following friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.
  A Loyal Best Friend
      Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations.This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets，but still loves you all the same.
  A Friendly Neighbor
      These days，a lot of people don't know their own neighbours.It's a shame，because some neighbors can be the most helpful people.If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday，you can call your neighbors to lock it for you.So it's wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.
  A Workmate
      You'll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch along every day.Your workmate doesn't have to be your best friend.If you two get along with each other，you can always start going out with them outside of the office.
  A Friend from a Different Culture
      If everyone has a friend from a different culture，the world would be much better.Remember that don't be friends with someone just because they are from a different culture.Instead，keep your mind open，and if you meet someone from other countries，try to learn about their customs，values，and traditions.
      If you have such kinds of friends，you will surely live longer and more happily.
