Question

【题目】根据短文内容，请将单词填写在题号对应的横线上。
There are good reasons to value our friendships.Some years ago a public-opinion research firm,Roper Starch Worldwide,asked 2007 people to name one or two things that said the most about themselves.Friends far outranked homes jobs, clothes and cars.
“Ironically,” says Brant R.Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., “the better friends you are, the more likely you'll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
Swallow your pride. It wasn't easy, but that's what Denise Moreland of Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii did when a friendship turned sour.For nearly four months,Moreland,45,had watched over Nora Huizenga's two young daughters, who were living with their father on the base,while Huizenga,40,completed training as a dental hygienist in Nevada.“I felt honored to be asked to step in,” Moreland says.
“When Huizenga returned at Christmas,” Moreland recalls,“I had so much to tell her, but she never called.”
One daughter had a birthday party, but Moreland wasn't invited. “I felt like I'd been used,” she says.At first, Moreland swore to avoid Huizenga.Then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt. Huizenga admitted that she'd been so worried about being separated from her family that she'd been blind to what her friend had done to help her. Today she says, “I would never have figured out what happened if Denise hadn't called me on it.”
When a friend hurts you, your instinct is to protect yourself.But that makes it harder to solve problems,explains William Wilmot,author of Relational Communication.“Most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open.”
Apologize when you're wrong—even if you've also been wronged.But over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “We don't think clearly when we're arguing,” says Michael Lang,a professional mediator (调解人) in Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, ask: “What's going on? This doesn't make sense.”
See things from your friend's point of view. Sociologists Rebecca Adams Rosemary and Blieszner interviewed 53 adults who each had many friendships lasting decades. “We were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long,” says Blieszner. Tolerance is key, the researchers learned.” It's surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding,” adds psychotherapist Anne Frenkel.
Accept that friendships change. “Friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change,” Wilmot observes.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy,says Yager.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships.Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

【解析】我们应当珍视我们的友谊，不要轻易放弃它，文章为此提出了一些修补出现问题的友谊的建议。
（1）根据第一句“There are good reasons to cherish our friendships”，友谊是要珍惜，重视的。故可填cherished/treasured/valued。
（2）根据第一段中的“Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars”，可知在人们看来，友谊比家，工作，衣服，车子更重要。根据句意可知填important。
（3）根据第二段中的“the better friends you are, the more likely you'll face conflicts”，空格填名词，表示更多的可能性，故填possibility/ chance。
（4）根据第三段The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.可知陷入麻烦的友谊是可以修补好的，接下来的几段都是一些修补友谊的方法，根据格式可知要大写，用复数，故填Approaches。
（5）根据第六段中的“she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt”，可知要“放下自尊，向朋友坦诚地表达你的感受”，根据句意可知填express。
（6）根据第八段中的“We don't think clearly when we're arguing”，可知争论时我们不能清晰地思考，故应避免争论。故填avoid。
（7）根据倒数第三段“从朋友的观点看问题”， Tolerance is key, the researchers learned.宽容是关键，可知要“宽容差异”，根据格式可知要大写，用动词形式，故填Tolerate。
（8）根据倒数第三段“a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding”可知争论是有误解所导致的，因此误解会导致争论，lead /contribute to，固定短语，意为导致。
