2. When you ‘re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand ,
And nothing, no, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will,
You've got a friend

18. Everyone has a number
of acquaintances, but
no one has many
friends, for true
friendship is not
common, and there are
many people who seem
to be incapable of it. For
a friendship to be close
and lasting, both the
friends must have some
very special qualities.
19. The first quality is
unselfishness. A person who
is concerned only with his
own interests and feelings
cannot be a true friend.
Friendship is a two-sided
affair; it lives by give-and-
take, and no friendship can
last long which is all give on
one side and all take on the
other.
20. Constancy is the second
quality. Some people do not
seem to be constant. They
take up an interest with
enthusiasm, but they are soon
tired of it and feel the attraction
of some new object. Such
changeable and uncertain
people are incapable of a
lifelong friendship.
21. Loyalty is the third quality. Two friends must be
loyal to each other, and they must know each
other so well that there can be no suspicions
between them. We do not think much of people
who readily believe rumours and gossip about
their friends. Those who are easily influenced by
rumours can never be good friends.
Trust is perhaps the fourth quality. There must
be mutual trust between friends, so that each
can feel safe when telling the other his or her
secrets. There are people who cannot keep a
secret, either of their own or of others’. Such
people will never keep a friend long.
22. Lastly, there must be a
perfect sympathy between
friends - sympathy with
each other’s aims, likes,
joys, sorrows, pursuits and
pleasures. Where such
mutual sympathy does not
exist, friendship is
impossible.
24. Task 2: Which of the choices A, B, C, or D most
adequately sums up the ideas of the whole passage?
A A friend in need is a friend indeed
B Conditions of true friendship
C Features of a good friend
D Friends and acquaintances
25. ① What is the first quality for true friendship and what does it
tell you ?
It is unselfishness. It tells me that a man who is concerned only
with his own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend.
(lines: 5-8)
Why are changeable and uncertain people incapable of true
friendship ?
Because they take up an interest with enthusiasm but they are
soon tired of it and they feel the attraction of some new
object.(lines: 9-12)
26. What is the third quality for true friendship and what does it
tell you ?
It is loyalty. It tells me that the two friends must be loyal to each
other, and they must know each other so well that there can no
suspicions between them. (lines: 13- 17)
Why must there be a mutual trust between friends ?
If not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other their most
intimate secrets. (lines;18- 20)
27. Why can’t people who talk too much keep a friend long ?
Because they cannot keep secrets either of their own or those
of others. (lines: 20- 21)
What is the last quality for true friendship and what does it
tell you ?
It is sympathy.It tells us that to be a true friend you must
sympathize with your friend. Where there’s no mutual sympathy
between friends, there’s no true friendship. (lines: 22- 24)
