One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor. The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop. He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due（正当的）. He therefore said to the man. “But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.”

There are three different kinds of friends in our life. I classify （分类） them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.

The first type of friend is just an acquaintance （熟人）.This means that you only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation （恼怒）. Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly. You would not normally （正式地）tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them “pest friends”.

The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”. They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don’t talk too often with this sort of friend, and you don’t share each other’s secrets.

Lastly，we have “best friends”. This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can  lean and depend on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear，they will be the one to lend support.

Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life....

39. What is this passage mainly about?

A. What a true friend is like.

B. Why there are different kinds of friends.

Long, long ago people made fires from lightening （闪电）. But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn''t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark （火花）. The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing （摩擦）. They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.

Years went by, and people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glasses in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.

About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.
