阅读下面的短文,并完成短文后的任务。
Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up.
But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well!
The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (晒伤). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student   71  in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good   72  easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the   73  for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask   74   they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to   75   people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was   76  to skip buying subway tickets. So   77   save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
  78   times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will   79  sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the   80  rule.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!

In real life, all of us have friends. We can talk to them, play and go to the cinema with them. (1) But we know that not all of them are real good friends, because simply “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.
But why are they still our friends? (2) In every one of us there is a ______ need to have friends and not to live ______ in this world. This need makes us get along with the others. On the other hand, this need keeps us searching everywhere to find new friends. But when we have found one, some time later we realize that he or she is not what we are looking for.
Everybody knows how to become a friend, but not all of them know how to become a good friend, because they don’t know what a good friend means. Some of us want to have friends just to make themselves happy, or maybe get something from others. He or she is not thinking about the others or what makes them happy. He or she is a selfish person.
Someone knows the meaning of good friendship. Someone knows how to be loyal(忠诚的) to someone, how to take care of him, and how to love him, as he is a very important person in his life. Unluckily, not everyone on the Internet wants to be a good friend as what is happening in real life. They are looking for friends, just to prove that they have a lot of friends.
About me, I’m not interested in numbers. Because I learned from the life: “Finding a real good friend is not an easy task”.
