听力原文： Almost everybody knows the importance of cherishing friendship. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm interviewed more than 2,000 people to identify one or two things that matter most to them. Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes, and cars. Yet very few of us understand the secrets of a well-established friendship. Here are some suggestions from experts for a more reliable friendship. The first tip is to avoid excessive pride and be more considerate for your friends. Second, apologize when you are wrong, even if you've also been wronged. Third, see things from the friend's point of view. Last, we should also accept the fact that friendship may also witness ups and downs, and change itself is also a natural part of friendship.
