　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to keep old friends than to make new ones. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

　　你是否同意以下观点？维护老朋友比结交新朋友更重要。请用具体的理由和事例来说明。

　　Though I think there is great value in both, for purposes of this test, I will argue that making new friends is more important. The reasons why new friends are so important are numerous.

　　尽管我认为两者都很重要，但是为了这个测试，我认为结交新朋友更为重要。这其中的理由非常之多。

　　As we progress in life, in our studies, in our careers, we come into contact with people who reasonably become friends and are of great value to our developing lives, careers,families and wellbeing.

　　在我们的人生历程中，无论是在学习还是工作中都会与很多人有所接触，这些人自然变成了朋友，对我们的生活、工作、家庭和幸福具有很重大的价值。

　　Friends we make in university studies provide us with comrades with whom to study and enjoy extracurricular activities. If we were to refuse their friendships and hold fast the more distant, hometown high school friends, we would not have a current support group to help us study and enjoy our time and would be lonely and probably not do well in our studies.

　　我们在大学中所结交的朋友，陪伴我们一起学习，一起参加课外活动。如果我们拒绝友情，只牢牢抓住远在家乡的中学朋友，将会失去那些近在咫尺可以帮助我们学习和一起愉快地度过时光的新朋友的支持。我们会因此变得孤独，并且可能不能很好地完成学业。

　　New friends, as we take new jobs, are important to us because we are comrades in a joint effort to do good business and are team members in many projects and programs.Being friends, as well as fellow workers, makes the work more efficient and enjoyable.To neglect them and spend time with colleagues from former jobs would not be as productive for our career advancement.

　　当我们找到新工作时，新的朋友也对我们十分重要，因为我们是可以成为齐心协力完成工作的同事和项目中的团队合作伙伴。与同事成为朋友、成为伙伴能使工作完成得更加高效和，愉快。若是忽视现今的同事，花时间与以前的同事在一起，则会阻碍我们的工作效率和职业发展。

　　Even in terms of “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” as we mature, it is common for us to grow distant from the “girl （or boy） we left behind”。 Though it may sound disloyal to think of changing girlfriends over time, it is important that as we develop, we find friends with whom we have current and future goals in common rather than holding on to a past relationship in which there is now little mutual interest.

　　甚至对于在我们成人后的男朋友和女朋友的问题上，我们往往会和前女友或前男友保持距离。尽管随着时间的推移换女友听起来很不忠诚，但随着成长，我们会发现，与那些和自己目前有同样的奋斗一目标的朋友在一起，比紧紧抓住现在双方几乎没有共同兴趣的过去那段关系来说重要得多。

　　Thus, though we should not lightly drop old friendships, we must pay greater attention to those new friends with whom we have current important career, social, spiritual, and economic interests and interdependencies.

　　因此，我们虽然不应该轻易放弃老朋友，但应该更多关注那些与我们当前有共同的重要的工作、社交、精神和经济兴趣和相互依赖的新朋友。
