9．When the Eiffel Tower was presented at the World Exposition in 1889，it was not very popular and came close tobeing torn（tear）down．分析 1889年埃菲尔铁塔在世博会上展出时，它并不是很受欢迎而且几乎要被拆除．
解答 答案：being torn
解析：come close to 意为"接近；几乎"，其中to是介词（故其后的动词需使用"v-ing"的形式）；又因为"埃菲尔铁塔"与"拆除"之间是动宾（被动）关系，故此处该使用被动语态（be done）．综上，本题答案为：being torn．

4．There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever．
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting．If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and he or she also trust you in the same way，then you two have a good relationship．
You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays．Wish your friends or give gifts to them on these special days．Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider，but remember friendship is not about money．You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards．
Help the friends．A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient．So have a helping hand ready at all times．
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer．So，if you are far from your friends，there are many ways you can remain in contact（联系）．You can use such modern technology as email，chat programs，and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your distant friends．
If there is anything that makes you happy，share it with your friends．Listen to their thoughts as well．If they have achieved something noticeable，congratulate them and celebrate with them．
I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends．Though this may not happen very often，it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you．
As far as I have seen and experienced，it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend．Of course，we have to do this with friends．But，attention should be paid．Otherwise it may end the friendship．
