Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 16 While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.

17 Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces(牙箍)you wear, your high school friends help you through it all. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 18

They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. 19 And they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself — because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.

They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together — you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendships can be hard to keep. 20

A. We could depend on our friends all the time.

B. They are with you through your embarrassing stages.

C. They can sense something is off when you’re th slightest bit strange.

D. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends.

E. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation.

F. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

G. But it never seems like hard work with the ones you’ve known and loved for long.
