They wake him up at 6:00 a.m, and after breakfast, his father takes him to school by car. As soon as the young man comes home from school, the dinner is ready. Of course, he never does chores. Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends ---- “pest friends”, “guest friends” and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is simply acquaintances and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school or at work, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends do something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. Once, Tony’s father would go to London on business (生意) for a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to look after their son well. The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before. Two months later, she was so tired that she was ill. The young man got into trouble right away. He couldn’t do housework. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus. The second kind of friends “guest friends” could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little about what they like or dislike, and a little about their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. Yesterday, Tony’s mother found his shoes were worn out (穿烂了) and told him to buy a new pair. But he didn’t know how to choose right shoes. The woman had a sigh (叹息), gave him a shoe pattern (鞋样) and told him to buy shoes himself. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper (店主) brought some shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly, he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s wrong?” “I’m sorry. I’ve left my shoe pattern at home.” The last kind of friends, the “best friends”, are the people you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts (想法) . They will correct you when you’re wrong, and though they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. ( ( )21. Tony ________ when he comes home from school in the evening. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends.
