When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a we should value.. ，the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the can be what you don’t want : an end to finish the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be . First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when are brought out in the open.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 26 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客）．In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 27 ．But what makes blogging different from writing in a（n） 28 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 29 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 30 that he does not want to 31 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 32 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 33 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 34 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 35 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 36 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 37 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 38 about him in my diary, he would never know. 39 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 40 her blog and get angry.
There are also 41 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would 42 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 43 and tell her how much they 44 her. Blogs help people 45 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not 36 enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time, 37 whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is 38 someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is 39 to me that every musician has a 40 of their own. My father__41 several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42 his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own 43 sound.
I 44 read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “ 45 else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is 46 . ” It is said that, “ 47 is in the eye of the beholder（观看者）, ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the 48 . ”
Every person has a different tone of voice that 49 only to them, 50 we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of 51 that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It 52 be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a（an） 53 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it 54 the same way that you do it. The next time you feel 55 , remember “Nobody else can make the sound that you make. ”

While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in 41 ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, 42 a few and took them home.
I was afraid that they would disappear among other 43 gifts of a Christmas tree, 44 I used them to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to 45 my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been 46 even further. This time I bought dozens, as I 47 the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays.
I 48 began my creative project. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind 49 to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so 50 . Some people in our community 51 had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t 52 with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined 53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. 54 the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into 55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was 56 at our cheerful stop and 57 hung our small gifts — often the 58 signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with 59 and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our 60 did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 45 .
Some are the 46 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 47 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 48 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 49 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 50 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 51 .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 52 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 53 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 54 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 55 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 56 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 57 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 58 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 59 is based on previous positive experiences.
A．person B．product C．individual D．style
A．special B．common C．amusing D．normal
A．description B．decision C．discussion D．permission
A．surprising B．funny C．impressive D．amazing
A．that is B．at the same time C．as a result D．on occasion
A．customers B．employers C．consumers D．employees
A．expensive B．usual C．popular D．meaningless
