　　13.不管我們選擇什么樣的人做朋友，最重要的一點是大家要彼此真誠相待，相互幫助，相互關心，相互進步。

　　No matter what kind of friends we choose, the most important thing is that we should treat each other with sincerity, help each other, care about each other, and make progress together.

　　Decisions can be made quickly or they can be made after careful thought. Interestingly, however, the former are not necessarily always wrong and the latter are not necessarily always correct.

　　20.有的人相信自己對別人性格的第一印象，因為他們認為第一印象沒有偏見，因此一般情況下是正確的。

　　Some people trust their first impressions about others characters because they believe that, with the absence of partiality or prejudice in forming the first impressions, these judgments are generally correct.

　　People are never satisfied with what they have. They always want something more or something different.
