That is why some friendship dont last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose friends trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.11.

Three Important Points in Life B BThere is a way to clean space might be through a large space net, like a huge fishing net to catch all the litter floating around the Earth. Its not science fiction(科幻小说). A Japanese company is looking into developing a satellite that would then throw out a net made by Nitto Seimo Co, which makes fishing nets. It would form around the litter and draw it back towards the Earth, and the litter would burn up in the planets atmosphere. The idea of a net is because that would catch the smallest pieces of the space litter which could make holes in satellites, spacecrafts or other expensive equipment.Whats surprising is that there are so many people that dont think there is a problem with space litter, especially since billions and billions of dollars worth of valuable equipment has to travel around the litter clouds every day.Another similar net idea is being developed by the Defense Advanced Research 4Projects Agency (DARPA).
