We stopped to choose a cake for our daughter. We’d passed several other elderly customers but our daughter Norah seemed drawn to （被吸引） a man. Her face lit up like the sun and she waved excitedly saying， “Hi， old person！ It’s my birthday today！” “Hello， little lady！ And how old are you today？” he asked. They chatted for a few seconds.

We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later， Norah asked me， “Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday？” I thought the old man couldn’t have gone very far. So we quickly found him. “Excuse me， sir？ She’d like to know if you’d take a photo with her for her birthday，” I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. “A photo？ With me？” he asked. “Yes！ For my birthday！” Norah cheered. And so they posed together and then they hugged each other like they were long lost friends.

We thanked Mr Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He was moved to tears and said， “No， thank you. This is the best day I’ve had in a long time. You’ve made me feel so happy and valuable， Ms Norah.”

Now， Norah and Mr Dan often visit each other. While they don’t， Norah makes sure to call him at least once a week. Norah worried about Mr Dan being alone and brought Mr Dan a dog on his 82nd birthday.

There are many idioms （習(xí)語(yǔ)） or sayings in English that we use when we want to describe relationships between and among friends. Here are a few to practice with your friends.

The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples： John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin.

If two people are “l(fā)ike two peas （豌豆） in a pod”， it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other. I have never seen Lola and Camille argue; they are like two peas in a pod.

Some friends are especially sympathetic （有同情心的） and easy to talk to. They are not judgemental or impatient. They are good at sharing our pain， which helps ease our pain. A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”. We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and he/she brings comfort to us.

“To hit it off” with someone means immediately liking or getting along with someone. This usually happens the first time two people are meeting. They often share interests， goals， and beliefs. This can also happen between friends who like each other at first sight. Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today. Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date but we are going to try once more.

5. Friends through thick and thin may .

A. be easy to deal with B. help reduce pain

C. often have fun together D. share a long friendship

6. Which idiom can you use when talking about two similar friends？

A. To hit it off. B. Two peas in a pod.

C. A shoulder to cry on. D. Through thick and thin.

7. What can a friend with a shoulder to cry on provide when we are in trouble？

A. Experience. B. Advice. C. Judgement. D. Comfort.

8. What is the purpose of the text？

A. To introduce some English idioms. B. To explain what a good friendship is.

C. To teach readers how to use English idioms. D. To tell there are different kinds of friendship.
