【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要论述了友谊对于我们的重要性及什么才是真正的友谊，并告诉我们怎么样才能维持良好的友谊。

1.联系上下文可知前后为转折关系，结合首字母可知填转折连词but，但是。

2.联系上文可知句意为：度过好日子或者坏日子，结合首字母可知填形容词bad，坏的。

3.联系下文，可知指的是不会留下你独自一个人。结合前文助动词will及首字母可知填原形动词leave，留下，离开。

4.句意：他们会接受你而不是改变你。短语instead of代替。结合语境可知填副词instead代替，反而。

5.结合语境可知，朋友会带来新的令人兴奋的东西，结合前文助动词will及首字母，可知填原形动词bring，带来。

6.联系前半句描述，可知此处指的是你能一直相信他们。Can是情态动词，根据首字母可知填原形动词believe相信。

考点：短文中词汇短语的运用能力

点评：首字母一直是英语考试中的难点，得分率比较低。解答此类题型的方法一般就是根据文章前后句子之间意思推断出词义，并结合首字母推断出所缺单词，然后根据该单词在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，确定单词词形，进行适当词形变化。
