She invited the whole class to her birthday party, and from time to time she would give gifts to everybody. She was such a busy girl, with so many friends, that she couldn’t get a chance to spend time with each friend. She would like to talk to everyone at the party, but few words to each friend. She was busy taking care of all the guests while her friends were speaking to her. Nobody can get to know her well every time.But everything changed on National Friendship Day. That day in class everyone had to make three gifts to give their three best friends. Fiona was the only one who had not received a gift! She felt bad, and spent hours crying. Why was that? Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while. But each one only stayed for a short time, and just said, “Don’t mind it, there’s someone to care for you.” Although no one wanted to be the SOMEONE. She knew that she was a good classmate, but she had not been a true friend to anyone. She always ignored（忽略）the real feelings from the bottom of her friends’ heats.You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true fiends, you will have to give them real time and help, and let them know your thoughts instead of the simple relationship. For a true friend you must always be there in good times and bad ones and share your love.根据短文内容判断正误。
