【解析】

文章主要阐述应该如何用正确淡定的态度面对友谊的改变。要面对事实，生活影响了友谊。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。

【1】句意：只要我们活着，周围的事物就会改变，只要事物改变，友谊就会受到影响。

这里是说在我们周围的事物。around在……周围。根据句意，故填around。

【2】句意：然而，我们过着自己的生活，做着生活要求我们做的事情，随着年龄的增长，记忆逐渐淡忘，面容模糊，甚至连童年时的朋友名字都被遗忘了。

这里是被遗忘，用一般现在时态的被动语态，其结构是be done的形式。forget的过去分词是forgotten。根据句意，故填forgotten。

【3】句意：你想知道怎样对待一个不再友好的朋友吗？

wonder表示想知道。根据句意，故填wonder。

【4】句意：你所能做的就是好好对待他们，当你和他们在一起的时候为他们做最好的事情。

短语be with sb.表示和某人在一起。根据句意，故填with。

【5】句意：你可以和老前辈交谈，他们会告诉你，生活充满了难以置信的快乐和悲伤，今天困扰你的事情总有一天会成为回忆，痛苦也会消失。

根据下文and the sting will be gone.可知上文是说变成记忆。memory名词，意思是“记忆”，根据句意，故填memory。
