根据短文内容回答下列问题。
An eight-year-old boy, Alex, has a plan to help his best friend, Lily, live a more independent life. Lily was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare disease that makes her muscles (肌肉) very weak. She cannot walk or move by herself and must use a wheelchair. Her present wheelchair is old and uncomfortable, and it does not meet her daily needs, which makes it difficult for her to go to school or play with friends.
Alex decided to take action. He set a challenge for himself: to run a total of 22 miles over six weeks in order to raise enough money to buy Lily a new wheelchair. His father encouraged him from the beginning. “Helping others is important,” his father said, “and it makes you feel strong inside.” Alex trained carefully every day, even when the weather was cold or rainy.
Lily was very touched by his efforts. “I’m proud of Alex,” she said. “He runs so fast and raises money for me. I feel really happy. Every time he runs, we cheer together, ‘Go, Alex, go!’”
The new wheelchair costs £2,000, but Alex is already close to reaching his goal thanks to donations from neighbours, friends and schoolmates. When asked why Lily is such a good friend, Alex explained, “She is always kind to me. We play together, talk about everything, and share secrets. She’s my best friend.”
Alex also described how he finds strength during his runs: “Sometimes it’s really hard to keep running, and my legs feel tired, but I think _______________. That thought keeps me going.”
Stories like Alex and Lily’s show that true friendship can bring out courage and determination. Helping a friend, even in small ways, can make a big difference. Their story reminds us that caring for each other and showing kindness are among the most important things in life.

My Understanding of True Friendship
True friendship means being there for each other in difficult times. It is not about having fun together all the time, but about trust, care and real support.
Last term, I failed my math exam and felt very upset and disappointed. My best friend Li Ming noticed my sadness. He didn’t say much. He just sat beside me and spent an hour every day explaining math problems to me. With his patient help, I improved a lot in the next exam.
From this experience, I learned that a true friend helps you grow and never gives up on you. True friendship is like a light in the dark. I will always treasure my friend and be there for him too.
