A
(2020·山西省六校阶段性测试)My best friend traveled to stay with my family last weekend.When she arrived，she went straight to the kitchen and，without asking，ate some dried fruit.She wasn't being rude.I knew she would do this.We've known each other for almost 20 years.She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed，I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple.I was recovering from surgery and couldn't go to shopping malls.We passed the time running errands(差事), but there's never been a quiet moment.We've lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand conversation.
Our personalities are matched，to be sure，and a shared history is indescribably valuable.We were competitors at high school before bonding.Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common.Our friendship developed itself quickly.We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs.Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you.They are rare.They have seen your bright lights of achievements，the depths of desperation and the boring routine of the inbetween.It's special to unpack feelings without wasting time filling in the blanks.As my long weekend shows，with such friends we don't have to “do”，we simply have to “be”．We drop the act，the performance，the public version of ourselves.The special friendships are those which never fail to delight，whose continuation is worth the extra effort，despite distance and difference in your separate lives.I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend.I'm lucky to have found this friend，and to see a future where her companionship remains.Being together is perfection.
