2.George Santayana, an American philosopher, once wrote: "Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with a part of another; people are friends in spots." Comment on this statement.
3.Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they are ready to open their hearts to us.

(After Good News Bible, Genesis,2,3
Abridged and adapted
…Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live. The Lord God put the man he had formed to cultivate and guard the garden in Eaden. In the middle of the garden stood the tree that gives life and the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad… The Lord God forbade the man to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Then the Lord God decided to make a suitable companion to help the man." So … the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him then the man said, "At last, here is one of my own kind - Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. 'Woman' is her name because she was taken out of man." That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and they become one. …The woman knew that God had forbidden to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge, but the cunning snake that lived in the garden tricked the woman into tasting the fruit saying that when they ate the fruit they would be like God and know what was good and what was bad. |

The woman thought how wonderful it would be to become wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he also ate it… The Lord God punished them … And he said to the woman, "I will increase your trouble in pregnancy and your pain in giving birth. In spite of this, you will still have desire for your husband, yet you will be subject to him." And he said to the man, "You listened to your wife and ate the fruit which I told you not to eat. Because of what you have done, the ground will be under a curse…. You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You were made from soil, and you will become soil again." Adam ("mankind" in Hebrew) named his wife Eve (sounds similar to "living" in Hebrew). Then the Lord God said, "Now the man has become like one of us and has knowledge of what is good and what is bad… And the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden |

A stereotype is a conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception or image.
(The American Heritage College Dictionary)
A stereotype is a generalized belief that all members of a group are the same in some way. It is a an exaggerated or oversimplified belief and image about certain groups of people.
Stereotypes about men and women vary across cultures. In some cultures, women are considered very powerful. They hold the most important government positions and control the wealth. In many cultures today, however, women are not viewed as powerful…
