You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is f【6】 of incredible joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a m【7】 and the sting will be gone.

【2】happened

【3】forgotten

【4】others

【5】with

【6】full

【7】memory

【解析】

本文讲述了只要我们活着，周围的事情就会有改变，只要事情有改变，友谊就会受到影响。我们应该如何用正确淡定的态度来面对友谊的改变。

【1】根据空格处后us是人称代词宾格，谓语动词是change，可知空格处是一个介词。根据句意，只要我们活着，我们身边的事物就会发生改变，所以空格处用介词around。故答案为around。

【2】句意：无论发生什么，我们仍然是朋友。

根据句子结构，缺少的是谓语动词，根据下文用的是一般过去时，此句也要用一般过去时的时态。根据句意，是指无论发生什么，所以空格处用happened。故答案为happened。

【3】句意：然而，我们过着我们的生活，做着生活要求我们做的事情，随着年龄的增长，记忆逐渐消失，面孔模糊，甚至童年时代的朋友的名字都被遗忘了。

根据前文“as we get older, memories fade, faces blur”，可知，此句指的是连儿时朋友的名字都被遗忘了，主语是names，与动词遗忘之间是被动关系，所以用动词被动语态，前句用的是一般现在时，此句也用一般现在时，即be+动词过去分词。forget的过去分词是forgotten。故答案为forgotten。

【4】句意：也许你将会明白你不能控制其他人。

根据上文“Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly”和下文“If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice”，可知，别人想成为你的朋友或者是别人不再是你的朋友，这些都不是你能控制和决定的，所以空格处表达的是其他人，用代词others。故答案为others。

【5】句意：你所能做的就是对他们好，当你和他们在一起的时候为他们做最好的事。

根据下文“Then you wish them well when they leave”，可知此句描述的是当你和他们在一起的时候，空格前谓语动词是are，空格后them是人称代词宾格，空格处可用动名词或介词，与……一起，可用介词with。故答案为with。

【6】句意：你可以跟老一辈聊天，他们会告诉你生活充满了不可思议的喜悦和悲伤。

根据句意，空格处前是life,后是joy和sorrow，可知生活中总是充满了喜悦和悲伤。固定搭配be full of。故答案为full。

【7】句意：今天困扰你的东西终有一天会成为记忆，痛苦也会随之消失。

空格处前不定冠词a，可知空格处是一个可数名词单数。根据句意，今天困扰你的事情将成为的是一个记忆，空格处是名词memory。故答案为memory。
