Should friends be different or the same?

  Some friends have opposite views and interests, and some like the same things. What is your opinion? Should friends be different or the same? We asked some people what they think and this is what they said. （一些朋友有截然相反的观点和兴趣，而一些朋友喜欢同样的事情。你的意见如何？朋友应该是相同的还是不同的？我们询问了一些人的想法。下面是他们说的。） 

1. I like to have friends who are like me. I'm quieter than most of the kids in my class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet, too. There are some differences, though. I'm smarter than Yuan Li. She is more athletic. (James Green)　（我喜欢像我的朋友。我比班里大多数的孩子更文静。我最好的朋友袁立也是文静的。不过有一些不同。我比袁立更机敏。她比我更强壮。）

2.  It's not necessary to be the same. I like have friends who are different from me. My best friend Larry is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but Larry is more athletic than me. He always beats me in tennis. Also, I'm quieter than he is. (Huang Lei)　（相同没必要。我喜欢和我不同的朋友。我最好的朋友LARRY比我高而且比我更开朗。我们都喜欢运动，但LARRY比我更擅长运动。打网球时他总是赢我。还有，我比他更文静。）

3.  I don't really care. My best friend is Carol. Carol is very funny and more outgoing than I am. But we both like doing the same things. I don't think differences are important in a friendship. (Mary Smith)（我真的不在意这些。我最好的朋友是CAROL，CAROL非常风趣而且比我更开朗。但是我们都喜欢做同样是事情。对于友谊来说，我认为差别不是很重要的。）

4. I don't care, too. My best friend is Yongxia. We were classmates in No.1 Middle School 50 years ago. We are both kind and honest. We both like to be helpful. We both like singing. But he is good at PE and he is more athletic than I am. I think I'm smarter than he is. And I'm good at schoolwork. (Granny Hao)（我也不在意。我最好的朋友是永霞。我们是50年前的一中的同班同学。我们都善良而且诚实。我们都乐于助人。我们都喜欢唱歌。但他体育好，而且比我更擅长运动。我认为我比他更聪明，而且我学习好。）
