Everyone likes to feel that he or she is special.But many of us grow up believing that we're not special at all.We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive.We wish that we had nicer clothes or more money.Like the Scarecrow（稻草人），the Tin Man，or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz（綠野仙蹤），we believe we're not good enough just as we are.In the movie ，the Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain（大腦）.The Tin Man wishes she had a heart，and the Lion wants courage.In the end，each of them realizes that he already has what he needs.
Most parents want us to be the best we can be.They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others.They mean well，but the message we often get is that we're not good enough.We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else，but we are often disappointed.There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at something There are plenty of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at spjye.aits.Or they may not be as good-looking，but they have more money.It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.
Like the Scarecrow，the Tin Man，and the Cowardly Lion，we all want what we believe will make us better people.What we don't realize is that often we already have inside us the very things that we seek.Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special ，and that we are good enough just as we are.Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up，or maybe they just forgot.Either way，it's up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us，in our own way，is special.

2．In choosing a friend，one should be very careful.Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down，they will run away.Do you know how I have found a good friend？I look for certain qualities of character，such as understanding，honesty and reliability（可靠）.
Most important of all，I look for understanding in a friend.A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling.He puts himself in the other person's place，and he tries to think of ways to be jye.ailpful.He is also a good listener.
At the same time，however，a good friend is honest.He does not look for faults in otjye.airs.He notices their good pojye.aits.In short，a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on a good friend.If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time，I can be sure that he will be there.If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me.If I am in trouble，he will do his best to help me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.A good friend likes the same things I like.We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor，too.He likes to laugh with me.
