Our ancestors（祖先）made the old saying that friends【小题1】(be) like wine-the older,the better.Because of that, many people think old friends to be【小题2】(important) than new ones.For example,if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem,one from a new friend and the other from an old friend,people always prefer to choose the latter one, 【小题3】the new friend's advice may be better.

【小题4】(disagree) with the old saying,I believe that new friends are not【小题5】(necessary) worse than old friends. Why?Because the【小题6】(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.

Once you call someone friend,he must be a person who is【小题7】(rely) and whose interests are in common with 【小题8】(you).Maybe a friend's outside look【小题9】(change) all the time,but the inside characters of him and his interests won't change at all.It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you.【小题10】,there is no difference between old friends and new ones on this point.
