To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our _6_ the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _7_ at arm's length? Do we want to _8_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _9_enough—and that' s all right.

Finally, I gathered enough 5 to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright 6 hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow. My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasn't she 7 too? Did she know about tomorrow? I couldn't stand the 8 anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the 9 and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down. Then I walked downstairs to look for some 10 of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, 11 me as he meowed(猫叫)his sad song. He was on the old orange couch, 12 on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, " I'm 13 , pet me. I need a good hug." Even the couch begged me to sit on it. In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch 14 my birth, my parents' marriage, and hundreds of other little 15 . As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was 16 with questions: What's life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator's body, I had a 17 thought; each touch sang a different song. I forgot all about the 18 and the next day's surprise.
