a. its safe to arrive late just when food is served.b. its wise to eat something before going to a party.c. its important to follow social rules of party-going. d. its necessary to read invitations carefully.根據(jù)首字母或中文提示，寫出下列各句中所缺單詞。1. the politician took up gardening as his hobby after his _ (退休).2. i suggest you taking an umbrella when you go out because the weather here is quite _ (易變的).3. when reading, jack often _ (加下劃線) the important parts so as to draw his attention to them.4. our business has come to a _ (關(guān)鍵時刻): if this deal succeeds, our future is assured; if not, we shall be bankrupt.5. at present, the most widely used _ (媒體) of communication - for business and personal matters -is e-mail.6. the doctor gave him a t_ check-up and found there was nothing wrong with him.7. before going out shopping, my mother always l_ the things she wanted to buy.8. a five-day week system i_ from abroad has been carried out for years in china.9. my uncle has been working as an engineer in that power p_ for over 20 years.10. no one knows who killed her, but the police s_ her husband. 請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格的空格處里填人最恰當?shù)膯卧~。there are good reasons to cherish our friendships. some years ago a public-opinion research firm, roper starch worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars. “ironically,” says brant r. burleson, professor of communication at purdue university in west lafayette, ind., “the better friends you are, the more likely youll face conflicts.” and the outcome can be what you dont want -an end to the relationship.the good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. swallow your pride. it wasnt easy, but thats what denise moreland of hickam air force base in hawaii did when a friendship turned sour. for nearly four months, moreland, 45, had watched over nora huizengas two young daughters, who were living with their father on the base, while huizenga, 40, completed training as a dental hygienist in nevada. “i felt honored to be asked to step in,” moreland says.when huizenga returned at christmas, moreland recalls, “i had so much to tell her, but she never called.”one daughter had a birthday party, but moreland wasnt invited. “i felt like id been used,” she says.at first, moreland swore to avoid huizenga. then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt. huizenga admitted that shed been so worried about being separated from her family that shed been blind to what her friend had done to help her. today she says, “i would never have figured out what happened if denise hadnt called me on it.” when a friend hurts you, your instinct is to protect yourself. but that makes it harder to solve problems, explains william wilmot, author of relational communication. “most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open.” apologize when youre wrong -even if youve also been wronged. but over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “we dont think clearly when were arguing,” says michael lang, a professional mediator in pittsburgh. instead, says lang, ask: “whats going on? this doesnt make sense.”see things from your friends point of view. sociologists rebecca adams rosemary and blieszner interviewed 53 adults who each had many friendships lasting decades. “we were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long,” says blieszner. tolerance is key, the researchers learned.” its surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding,” adds psychotherapist anne frenkel.accept that friendships change. “friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change,” wilmot observes. making friends can sometimes seem easy, says yager. the hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships. her suggestion: consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure
