五、阅读理解。（2025·江苏南京·调研）
True friendship is like a precious gem—rare and valuable. A real friend is someone who knows everything about you and still loves you. They are there for you during both good times and bad times. When you succeed, they celebrate with you. When you fail, they comfort you and help you try again.
Good friends communicate openly and honestly. They listen to each other without judgment and offer advice when needed. They respect each other’s opinions even when they disagree. Most importantly, they trust each other completely.
Friendship requires effort from both sides. You need to make time for your friends, show appreciation for them, and be willing to help when they need support. Like a plant that needs water and sunlight, friendship needs care and attention to grow strong and healthy.
