That is why some friendships dont last long

32、. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.

33、ther. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose your friends trust.

39、ng of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved (演化 ) from ceremony. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world - even the seasonal changes - as unpredictable, and t

40、hey sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the ceremonies. As time passed some

41、 ceremonies were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, remained and provided material for art and drama.
