　　Maria Montessori was born in Chiaravalle near Ancona, Italy, in 1870. As a little girl, she was a dull student, unable to catch and remember what her teacher taught her. At the age of 10, she suddenly changed. Besides her rising interest in her subjects, she felt she had a long way to go.

　　Maria began topping her class, and her parents felt that she should become a teacher. But she made up her mind to become an engineer. At the age of 14, she attended a technical school for boys. After a year she took up biology and decided to study medicine. Although her father was strongly against it, she went ahead with medicine.

　　Maria became the first Italian woman to receive a medical degree after she graduated from the University of Rome in 1896. After getting her degree, she joined the university’s psychiatric clinic(精神病诊所). As a part of her duty, she had to visit the city’s special shelters, where disabled children were housed with the mad. She watched the children shouting, waving their hands, with a hope to reach out or to touch something. Maria felt they needed a normal and friendlier environment and a communication with the world. She worked out ways in which she could help the disabled children. Later, Dr. Bacelli opened an experimental state school for disabled children with Dr. Maria Montessori as its head. Maria spent long hours, almost 12 hours of the day with children, watching them and finding out how she could really help them.

　　It seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.

　　Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.

　　Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.

　　Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.

　　No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

　　63. Some friendships don’t last long because ________.

　　A. there are too many people who want to make friends

　　B. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
