　　根据题目关键字，我们从交不同类型的朋友可以分别带来怎样的好处来入手，那我最先想到的破题点是分情况讨论人的分类，即“从事什么职业的人分别和哪一类型的朋友更搭”;比如“对于从事高压工作的人群(比如医生)，找一个富有幽默感的人做朋友更好”，“对于学生群体，可能选择智慧型朋友更好”;然后分别展开。那么这就是中立的写法咯~

　　交朋友是应该交个聪明的还是应该交个幽默的呢?

　　先看看这道题重复的次数，是不是瞬间意识到这道题的重要性了?其实看完这道题你可能不会觉得它难：交朋友嘛，从幼儿园之前可能就有了;聪明的还是幽默的，这也不是什么难做的选择。很多小伙伴在看到这道题的时候都会选择聪明这个选项，为什么呢，能帮我写作业啊，还能帮我在关键时刻出奇招啊，或者就是启发我的智力帮我走向人生巅峰啊。当然也可以选幽默啊，给生活加点乐趣不是挺好。是挺好，都挺好，然而开始下笔写的时候，问题就来了：这又是一道道貌岸然，表面简单实际写不下去的题啊……你一定要先试试看，看看观点的展开自己能说多少?看看所举的例子除了亲生经历这种小儿科例子还能说点什么?小吴这里给大家一个参考，我选了幽默的朋友而不是聪明的，毕竟生活压力已经够大了，还找一个聪明人来碾压我的智商我实在心疼自己，科科。

　　Sample Answer

　　People may prioritize different aspects when choosing friends. While some may be attracted by an intelligent person, I prefer to make friends with those who have a good sense of humor. In addition to the laughters they could bring to my life, I think humorous friends actually means a lot more.

　　人们在选朋友的时候都会注重不同的方面。尽管有些人可能会被聪明人所吸引，我还是倾向于交些有幽默感的朋友。除了他们会给我的生活带来的欢乐之外，我觉得幽默的朋友其实还意味着很多。

　　First off, they could add much spice to our daily life. I’ve always been dreaming about having several friends like those in the romcom Friends or The Big Bang Theory. A friend like Rachel may tell me that I look like I slept with a hanger in my mouth, when I tell her I have a crush on a boy and can’t help laughing every time I think of him; a quick-witted friend like Phoebe may incidentally write our life stories into her funny but unforgettable song “Smelly Cat”. Besides, the reason why Sheldon and Penny leaves audiences a deep impression is their sense of humor showcased when exploring the unknown things. So with friends like them, our lives may abound with laughters as if we are the heroes of the comedy. Sure, some may insist that compared to the intellectual support a wise friend offers to us, the delightful moments mentioned above may be insignificant or even vanish. After all, an intelligent friend could help inspire more creative ideas, which is important to working out more complex problems, and making further progress no matter for a student or an employee. But the thing is better alternatives can be easily found to replace a wise friend: teachers, books, professionals and so forth.

　　首先，他们能给我们日常的生活带来很多乐趣。我一直梦想着有一些像老友记或生活大爆炸里那样的朋友。一个像Rachel的朋友可能在我跟他说 我遇到了一个心动男孩 然后每次想到他都克制不住情不自禁要笑出声的时候 告诉我我晚上睡觉的时候都好像嘴里放了个衣架;一个像Pheobe那样古灵精怪的朋友可能会顺带把我们生活里的故事写进她那首很滑稽但是令人难忘的歌“臭臭猫“里。而且啊，之所以谢耳朵和Penny给观众留下了深刻的印象就是因为他们在探索未知事物时所表现出来的幽默感啊。有了这样的朋友，我们的生活就能充满欢声笑语，仿佛我们就是这个喜剧的主人公啊!当然啦，有些人会坚持说跟一个聪明的朋友能给我们提供的智力支持相比，上文提到的那些欢乐的时刻都会不那么重要了甚至就消失了。毕竟一个聪明的朋友有助于启发更多有创意的想法，无论是对于学生还是工作的人来说，这对他们解决更多复杂问题、取得长足进步都非常重要。可是实际上，我们能很容易得找到很多更好的替代方法来替代一个聪明的朋友：比如老师啦，书籍啦，专业人士啦等等。

　　In addition to this, the sense of humor is actually another manifestation of being intelligent. To tell a joke may not be a difficult task; but it is by no means effortless to tell an appropriate joke at the suitable time, in a proper occasion, or to the right person. If you make fun of a disabled person by imitating his gestures and poses, or mock at a girl who has just failed a job interview by saying jokingly that girls should pay more time on makeup rather than career, you had better not expect to be considered as hilarious. On the contrary, people with real sense of humor would have the ability to know when and how to tell a joke. This has been proved a performance of high emotional intelligence (EQ) by a host of studies. If you look closely into every joke Ellen DeGeneres tells in her show, you may be amazed at how intelligent she is to control the whole situation: making the audience laugh out loud within a territory where the guest celebrity would not feel being offended. Therefore, making a funny friend, to some extent, also means making a brainy friend. Kill two birds with one stone, doesn’t it?

　　除此之外，幽默感其实也是另一种聪慧的表现形式。讲笑话其实并不难，但是在合适的时间、合适的场景、对合适的人讲一个合适的笑话绝对不是一件容易的事。如果你模仿一个残疾人的手势动作取笑他，或者打趣一个刚刚面试挂了的女孩说女生嘛就应该多花点时间在化妆上而不是事业上，你最好不要期待着会被人认为你很幽默。相反，一个真正有幽默感的人是有能力知道什么时候能开玩笑以及该怎么开玩笑的。这已经被很多研究证明为一种高情商的表现。如果你仔细看看Ellen在她的show里讲的那些笑话，你可能会很惊讶于她在掌控全局时所表现出来的才能：既要让在场观众捧腹大笑，又要保证嘉宾不能有被冒犯的感觉。所以跟一个有趣的人交朋友一定程度上就意味着交一个聪明的朋友。一举两得，不是吗?

　　To sum up, I’m not denying the role of a wise friend may play in our live, but if I have to make a choice when making friends, I will prefer a funny one. (511)
