2b
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, “ a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.

Which saying is your favorite Which friend do you think about when you read this saying Why
1. A good friend is like a mirror.
2. Friends are like books -you don't need a lot of them as long as they' re good.
3. My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.
4. A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
1. ... you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good他们不在多而贵在好
要点精析
As long as意为“只要”,可引导条件状语从句,主句是一般将来时或主句谓语含有情态动词can时,as long as引导的条件状语从句应用一般现在时表示将来
例 : As long as the weather is fine tomorrow , we'll go hiking.
只要明天天气好,我们就去徒步旅行。
2. That's why …
why引导的从句在此作is的表语,是表语从句。引导表语从句的词除了why外,还有that; whether; as if; what; which; who; whose; when; where; how等。表语从句与宾语从句一样,要求用陈述语序。例如:
That is where I was born. 那就是我出生的地方。
The problem is whether he will come. 问题是他是否回来。
This is what we need. 这就是我们所需要的。
【注意】That’s why…可视以为一个固定句式,表示“这便是为什么……”、“这就是……的原因”,why的后面一般接句子。例如:
That’s why he was late this morning.
这就是他今天早上迟到的原因。
3. I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.
我并不十分在乎我的朋友跟我样或与我不同
要点精析
此句中if 作连词,意为“是否”,引导的是宾语从句,作 care 的宾语
由if/whether引导的宾语从句,实际上是由一般疑问句演变而来的。
宾语从句要用陈述语序一般说来,在宾语从句中if 与whether 可以互换使用,但在动词不定式前只能用whether,不用if.
例 :Iwonder if/whether they will come to our party.
我想知道他们是否会来参加我们的聚会
4. I think a good friend makes me laugh.
make 在此处是使役动词,后接省略to的动词不定式,make sb. do sth.意为“使/让某人做某事”,类似的动词还有let,have等。例如:
The boss made them work for long time. 老板让他们长时间工作。
They made us forget the past. 他们使我们忘记了过去。
【拓展】
make作“使……”讲时,还可用make+ 宾语 + 形容词/名词(作宾补),即make sb. / sth. +adj./n.。类似的词还有keep等。例如:
What he said makes us happy. 他所说的话使我们很高兴。
Don't keep the door open. 别把门开着。
We made John our monitor. 我们选约翰当班长。
