Friendship is a close bond(关系) between two or more people.

Friendships are built on trust, respect, and shared  16    and experiences, but it's not always easy to develop or keep friendships. You should understand the importance of social connection in your life and  17                             you can do to develop lifelong friendships. Good friends are always there for you — they're the ones you can  18              , no matter what.

Friends are an important part of life, and they can have a big influence on your happiness. Research has even shown that adults with  19               social connections have a reduced risk(风险) of many health problems, including high blood pressure and depression.  20              , studies have found that older people who have meaningful relationships and social support are likely to live longer than the others with fewer connections. So it's  21               that friendships are good for your body and mind.

Many people find it hard to develop new friendships or keep friendships. Friendships are thought to be less important than things like work, education, or caring for children or parents. You and your friends may have become  22               because of changes in your lives or interests. Or maybe you've moved away.

There are plenty of ways to make new friends. To  23    new people who might become your friends, you have to go to places where others are gathered. The more your efforts, the greater your possible  24              . You could join a club or organization connected with one of your interests, or volunteer for a cause that you're excited about. You could also  25               go to your neighbors, and invite them to have fun together.

Whatever situation you face, don't be afraid to make some new friends. It's worth it — we promise!
