When we think of friends，we usually think of those who have been in our life for a long time. 16 ，there is another type of friend—one that has not been with us for a long period of time, but 17 our mind at some moment.
The first such friend I remember is the little girl with red curly hair. She was in the bed next to 18 when I received an operation on my nose. She was about two years older，more 19 and braver. She would jump out of bed whenever the nurse was gone. Her two little feet on the cold floor 20 me. Without her, I would have been alone and afraid.
Two years later, I was sent to a nursery school 21 my parents were far too busy. There, I met a foreign girl. We both were the oldest in that school； the others were babies who were not able to talk with us. Our 22 started with so-called (所谓的) competitions. Although we couldn't speak to each other in the same language, our 23 was made by trying to beat (打败) each other— at drawing, at game, even at eating. Our competitions, I think, gave me 24 I could control. And maybe I gave her the same. We got through a difficult time together.
Such friends often support us when our life is off balance. A word，a smile, even a similar scene can bring back memories about them. 25 ，the warmth rises in our heart when we think of them. And silently, we thank them and wish them well.
