Question

【题目】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 the other person 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 and wish them or give gifts to them on the 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.

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. You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your 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 then there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen in many cases, 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 so that your friendship may not end.

【解析】这篇短文就如何构建更牢固的友谊关系提出了很多实用可行的小建议。

【1】句意：不要怀疑你的朋友，他或她也不会这样对待你，原文“If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.”（如果你信任与你有良好关系的人，而另一个人也以同样的方式信任你，那么你们两人的关系就会很好。），题目中是“don’t”（不要），所以是说不要怀疑朋友，故填“doubt”。

【2】句意：在他们生日时候，发出你的祝愿，小礼物或在线问候你的朋友。原文“You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on the special days.”（你可以记住你的朋友的重要日子，比如他们的生日，并且在特殊日子里祝愿他们或者送给他们礼物。），所以这里是说“give your wishes”（发出你的祝福）。

【3】句意：使用现代技术与远方的朋友联系。原文“You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.”（您可以使用电子邮件，聊天程序，也可以写博客和你的朋友分享你的日常生活活动。），这些用来打破距离的交往手段都是“modern technology”。

【4】句意：和你的朋友分享你的快乐。“If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends.”（如果有任何让你快乐的事情，请与朋友分享。），说明要分享快乐，故这里填“happiness”。

【5】句意：避免彼此以一种不健康的方式竞争。原文“I have seen good friendships and then there is unhealthy competition between two friends.”（我看到过很好的友谊中，后来两个朋友之间出现了不健康的竞争。），这就说明要“避免此类竞争”，这里填动词“避免”，故填“Avoid”。
