You should do something as follows: Choose a specific theme A good art exhibition should be characterized by a specific theme that ties the different pieces together and makes them feel like part of a larger whole. Think carefully about the message you want your exhibition to convey. It could be an image or phenomenon, a feeling or a certain visual technique. 2 . Select your most impressive works Pick out a few of your best or most impressive pieces to put on display. If the exhibition is meant to highlight your own work, you’ll need to have 30 individual pieces. 3 . Plan on exhibiting more pieces if the work you do tends to be on a large scale. 4 Do some research into other artists in your area and see whether they would be interested in your exhibition. Holding an exhibition with other artists will also allow you to reduce some cost. Be sure to give other artists proper credit for their works. Involve in different art forms 5 .

If you want to be a good leader in school, you need to practice good leadership qualities. 6 Be a good communicator. 7 . You should be able to express yourself in a clear way so that people are more likely to listen to you. Being a good communicator also means listening well. A good leader will be willing to listen to the group, and consider all opinions when making decisions. Have others help with the work. You should distribute jobs evenly among group members. Everyone in the group will shoulder part of the work then. If someone isn’t pulling their share of the work load, privately discuss this with them. In the talk you let them know you’re hoping you can count on them to contribute a little more. 8 Make full use of the available resources. Difficulties and challenges are everywhere. 9 If you don’t know the answer to something, or notice that something needs to be done but you’re not sure how to do it yourselves, you’re the one to ask questions of your teachers, coaches, etc, who are your available resources. 10 Sometimes the way things have been done is outdated or they could be done in a better way. You will be the one to decide if a certain rule or policy needs to be changed. Remember to handle it with an open attitude. If you’re able to adapt and do your best to work it out, then you have part of what it takes to be a great leader! A．Look before you leap B．Here are some suggestions for you C．Don’t forget to be open-minded and flexible D．Learn public speaking skills and writing skills E．By doing so you can bring the team together to participate F．That is how you gain knowledge about being a good leader G．A good leader knows whom to turn to when he’s in a difficult situation Passage 3 Your personality includes your individual differences from other people in how you think, feel, and behave. Improving your personality can help be your best version of yourself. 11 The first and most simple step you can take to improve your personality is to give everyone a warm greeting. People will perceive you as friendly and kind if you smile when you see them. Flash your pearly whites and shake their hands or hug them. Read something every day. Another component of improving your personality is expanding your knowledge. Keep up with the current news by reading a few articles on your phone or open a novel and read a chapter or two. 12 Develop opinions on important issues. From your readings, begin to form your own opinions about the current events of today. You might find that others will be debating the issue around you soon. 13 However,  make sure you articulate your points with grace and logic. Be a good listener. 14 Really concentrate on what they’re saying, rather than waiting until they’ve finished. Besides, try to repeat back what they’ve said to you every few minutes so you can show that you hear them. Offer a helping hand to those in need. Always look for little opportunities to help others. See someone struggling to get a book off a high shelf? 15 Or perhaps you’re on a bus and a woman with a cane enters. Offer her your seat! Personality is created in part by all of the kindness you show to others, so get started today! A．Step in if you can. B．Greet everyone with a smile. C．Make use of the power of stare.

Most of the time, the key to exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. 19 Take enough time to do yourself justice. 20 Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out —long before you even get the chance to sit the exam. Make sure that you have at least one day off from revision a week. Take regular breaks for exercise to help keep your brain active. And always remember to eat nutritious, high-quality foods and drink enough water. Hopefully, you will be free from exam anxiety in the future. A．Also, try not to neglect your self-care. B．In addition, your mental health matters the most. C．It is completely normal to experience exam anxiety. D．Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it. E．That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming. F．But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level. G．This often means you set yourself up for failure, due to the fear of never feeling “good enough”.

Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate(偏离) from your plan. 26 Break up your study sessions into smaller periods Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration. 27 chances are much higher that you won't remember all of the information you're trying to learn. Instead, break up your study sessions into shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to help you relax and recharge. ·Find a study place that works for you 28 .

And it is a student’s chance to really speak directly to the admissions office, to make a good impression and to boost their chances of being accepted. 36 This can feel like a lot of pressure. 37 They tend to be broad, open-ended questions, giving students the freedom to write about a wide range of topics. In fact, it’s challenging to think of putting your whole life in one essay. Students should narrow their focus and write about a specific experience or hobby that reveals something personal, like how they think, what they value or what their strengths are. 38 There are certain types of essays that typically stand out to admissions officers. What’s most important is that a college essay is thoughtful. 39 Think of the college essay as a meaningful glimpse of who you are beyond your other application materials. After reading your essay, the reader won’t fully know you — at least not entirely. Your objective is to excite the reader’s curiosity and make them eager to get to know you. But you should avoid hyperbole (夸张), which can lose the readers’ trust. 40 If students are having trouble brainstorming potential topics, they can ask friends or family members for help.

This can create a welcoming atmosphere for connections.   41 Be curious about your inner world. It’s easier to connect with people if you have shared interests or experiences, so start paying attention to what’s on your mind.   42 If you know what’s meaningful or fun for you, it may lead you to an activity or creative outlet that connects you to people who share your interests. 43 When you say make something, you may immediately say, “Well, I’m not Picasso. I don’t know how to do a fancy painting”. And, of course, you’re not! But the opportunities for creation are endless. Renew your grandma’s pie recipe, plant an herb garden, and try a hand-made art. Create a visible artwork that reflects your thoughts and feelings about who you are and what matters. 44 Take a risk by having conversations. Share something about yourself.   45 Instead, it’s just something you think others might find interesting. Even if you’re nervous about being judged or refused, putting yourself out there requires a bit of a risk, and it’s the first step to genuine connection. If someone appears lonely, take the risk to ask how they’re doing. Simply explaining what you’ve made may make it easier to open up about who you are. A．Create something on your own.

The voice of the young can make itself heard in areas like education, pollution and health care. These are issues that directly influence our lives and should be taken notice of by us. 47 Support the community by actively participating in volunteering. Volunteers are always needed to assist old people’s homes and other charity organizations. 48 Simple things like cleaning the house, entertaining or listening to the elderly, or making voice recordings for the visually disabled are all within our reach and far more significant than shopping or hanging out at shopping malls. Participate in various activities that promote our environment. Planting new plants and trees to minimize pollution and create a clean environment in which to live. 49 Using one-off materials, such as plastic bags and lunch boxes, also causes burden to nature. We should avoid  these and many other similar behaviors if we want to see a better environment. 50 There are many things we cannot do right now, such as influence public policies, but we may prepare ourselves to be ready when the time comes for us to contribute. A significant amount of time and money has been invested in developing us as young leaders of the future, and we must not ignore our responsibilities.

Passage 11 How to Find Your Inner Self Figuring out who you are and your place in the world is a life-long task. 51 Once you realize that finding yourself is an ongoing process, not some sort of goal you must achieve, you’ll realize that you know much more about your inner self than you’ve ever imagined. Here are a few tips that can help you find your inner self. Think about the moments you are most proud of in your life. Finding meaning in your life is not easy, nor should it be, but you can get wonderful clues from your own past. 52 , as they often give you the most meaning and purpose while working, traveling, or learning. 53 . As you reflect on things that made you proud, think about what these experiences reveal about your values. Try asking yourself, what values are connected with the things that make me feel proud? Determine the things you want in life. Finding your inner self is as much about looking forward as looking back. Whether it is a job, a house in your favorite town, a loving partner, or lazy Sundays with a book, your desires reveal a lot about you. Simply write down the things you want in life. Look beyond the labels(标签) given to you by others. 54 These labels are important to help define your roles and responsibilities in the world, but they are not you. They are just labels, and you are far more complex than a few words. Remember that finding your inner self is a life-long process because you are always changing. Looking back on your life, note how often you were wrong about yourself. 55 Even if you’re sure about yourself now, this change will always happen as you move through life. A．Recognize your values. B．Make you proud. C．But it doesn’t have to be frightening.

Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read. ● 57 If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. It's a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words. ● Are you connected? Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. 58   How willing are you to make the connections happen? ● Read it; hear it; be it! Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character. 59 ● How often do you read? If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading and what you've read. 60 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better.

Some levels of stress are normal, and they do serve a purpose. Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently. 16 These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to try and relieve this. Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety -can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety. 17 In terms of exam anxiety, it could be linked to a few different factors. For example, if you’re someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety. 18 . Most of the time, the key to exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. 19 Take enough time to do yourself justice. 20 Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out —long before you even get the chance to sit the exam. Make sure that you have at least one day off from revision a week. Take regular breaks for exercise to help keep your brain active. And always remember to eat nutritious, high-quality foods and drink enough water. Hopefully, you will be free from exam anxiety in the future. A．Also, try not to neglect your self-care. B．In addition, your mental health matters the most. C．It is completely normal to experience exam anxiety. D．Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it. E．That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming. F．But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level. G．This often means you set yourself up for failure, due to the fear of never feeling “good enough”. 【答案】16．E 17．D 18．G 19．F 20．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述了我们应对焦虑的一些策略和方法。 16．前文“Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently.”（压力可以提高你的工作表现，思考更快更有效率）提到了压力在生活中带给我们的好处。下文“These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. ”（这些高水平的压力和焦虑对你的心理健康和表现都有害）讲到了压力和焦虑过大会对健康带来害处。所以空白处应为承上启下的作用。与前文表示转折，开启下文的话题，即压力有时还是会对健康带来害处的。选项E“That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming.”（话虽如此，有时候压力会转化为焦虑，这是不可抗拒的）与文意相符，故选E。 17．前文“Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety -can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety.”（只要知道是什么引起你的焦虑，可以帮助减轻影响。花点时间想想是什么导致了你的焦虑）说明了找到引起焦虑的原因可以帮助减轻其带来的影响。所以下文应该陈述找到焦虑的原因后，就能更好的应对焦虑。选项D“Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it.”（一旦你解决了病因，你就能更好地治疗它）符合题意，故选D。 18．前文“For example, if you’re someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety. ”（例如，如果你是一个有点完美主义的人，你可能会经历更高程度的考试焦虑）列举了会带来更大焦虑的一个情景，由此推知，下文应该承接前文讲述这种焦虑对你而言的意义。选项G“This often means you set yourself up for failure, due to the fear of never feeling “good enough”.”（这通常意味着你将自己置于失败或失望之中，因为你害怕自己永远不会觉得“足够好”）符合逻辑，故选G。 19．前文“Most of the time, the key to exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended.”（大多数时候，减少考试焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备。早点开始复习。通常建议在考试前6周开始）提到了减少焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备，同时列举了两个具体的方法。下文“Take enough time to do yourself justice.”（给自己足够的时间来审视自己）说明我们要根据自己的实际情形来安排。所以空白处应该讲述充分准备也是分情况而定的。选项F“But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level.”（但这可能会因为你在学习中的感觉和学习水平而改变）与文意相符，故选F。 20．下文“Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out —long before you even get the chance to sit the exam. Make sure that you have at least one day off from revision a week. ”（不停地学习会让你筋疲力尽，甚至在你有机会参加考试之前，你就会感到筋疲力尽。确保每周至少有一天不用复习）提到我们在学习疲惫的同时也要注意休息，即要劳逸结合。所以空白处应总说我们也不能忽略照顾自己的健康。选项A“Also, try not to neglect your self-care.”（而且，不要忽视你的自我照顾）符合题意，故选A。 Passage 5 It can be difficult to meet new people and make friends，especially when you move to a new city or find yourself out of your comfort zone．How will you deal with the situation? 21 There are several ways that you can meet people that you might not have considered in the past． ★ 22 You probably have several acquaintances that you see on a daily basis or a weekly basis．If you get along well with certain people，you can see if this acquaintance would like to go out and do something socially with you．If you have common interests，you might suggest that the two of you do something together that involves your interest． ★ Make an effort to accept invitations．Sometimes people that you know may be having a barbecue or other types of social gathering．Try to ensure that you are able to attend and then show up at the appointed time． 23 If you meet people that you click with，you can make a plan to see them again in the future or you can invite your friends to your own event and ask them to extend the invitation to the friends that were at their gathering too． ★Go out，even when you don’t feel like it．It turns out that when people invite someone to join them for dinner or a movie or something else，they really want to hang out with you． 24 25 But once you have used the same methods a few times you will know exactly what works and what does not．Don’t give up，everyone is different and it just takes time to get to know people． A．Expand on current relationships． B．Trying to make new friends can be annoying at first． C．Do you work with people that you get along well with?

But with that freedom comes the responsibility to make the most of your studying hours. Here are some tips to help you do just that. Create a schedule This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate(偏离) from your plan. 26 Break up your study sessions into smaller periods Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration. 27 chances are much higher that you won't remember all of the information you're trying to learn. Instead, break up your study sessions into shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to help you relax and recharge. ·Find a study place that works for you 28 . Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-it's all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible. ·Take practice quizzes This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. 29 ,it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall. 30 If you find that you're struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like,seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on. A．Learn to accept failure B．Don’t be afraid to ask for help C．So if you try to study for several hours once D．Make sure that every minute you spend studying counts E．However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long F．Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time G．And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on 【答案】26．E 27．C 28．F 29．G 30．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者提出几个充分利用时间学习的建议。 26．由上文“This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate(偏离) from your plan.(这意味着每天留出特定的学习时间，然后尽可能严格遵守时间表。当然，总会有事情发生的时候，你不得不偏离你的计划。)”可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，而E项However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long(但是，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道)符合语境，其中go off-track和上文deviate from your plan对应。故选E项。 27．由前文“Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration.(我们的大脑只能有效地集中注意力这么长一段时间，然后才会开始失去注意力。)”和后文“chances are much higher that you won't remember all of the information you're trying to learn.(你不记得你想学的所有信息的可能性要大得多。)”可知，前面讲大脑只能集中注意力一段时间，而后文讲记不住内容，所以所填空应说我们一次学习时间太长的话，我们会记不住学习内容。而C项So if you try to study for several hours once(所以如果你试着一次学习几个小时)符合语境，有承上启下作用。故选C项。 28．由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-it's all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.(有些人喜欢完全安静地学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音有助于他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案，这都是关于找一个学习的地方。这使你能够尽可能高效地学习。)”可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，而F项Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time(你在哪里学习也会影响你如何有效地利用时间)符合语境，其中Where 和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故选F项。 29．由后文“it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.(你可以更容易地指导你的学习课程，更好地利用你的时间。)”可知，前文应讲明确你的方向，这样会更利于学习。而G项And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on(一旦你知道你需要做什么具体的主题或想法)符合语境，其中 specific topics or ideas you need to work on与后文 direct your study sessions accordingly 对应，故选G项。 30．由后文“If you find that you're struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like,seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on.(如果你发现你很难理解这些材料，或者只是没有像你想的那样快速地取得进展，请及时寻求帮助。承认你需要帮助并不可耻。事实上，通过尽早获得所需的支持，从长远来看，它可以节省大量时间。)”可知，这段主要讲要学会寻求帮助，而B项Don’t be afraid to ask for help(不要害怕寻求帮助)符合语境，对下文有概括作用，且help与下文也对应。故选B项。 Passage 7 Top Tips to Get You by in the US Studying abroad as an international student is an exciting and life-changing experience, 31 .

And it is a student’s chance to really speak directly to the admissions office, to make a good impression and to boost their chances of being accepted. 36 This can feel like a lot of pressure. 37 They tend to be broad, open-ended questions, giving students the freedom to write about a wide range of topics. In fact, it’s challenging to think of putting your whole life in one essay. Students should narrow their focus and write about a specific experience or hobby that reveals something personal, like how they think, what they value or what their strengths are. 38 There are certain types of essays that typically stand out to admissions officers. What’s most important is that a college essay is thoughtful. 39 Think of the college essay as a meaningful glimpse of who you are beyond your other application materials. After reading your essay, the reader won’t fully know you — at least not entirely. Your objective is to excite the reader’s curiosity and make them eager to get to know you. But you should avoid hyperbole (夸张), which can lose the readers’ trust. 40 If students are having trouble brainstorming potential topics, they can ask friends or family members for help. Students can ask peers or family members questions such as, “What are the things you think I do well?” Or, “What are my oddities?” A．It’s also wise to avoid using irrelevant adverbs and adjectives. B．But they have only several hundred words to make that happen. C．It tells a story that offers insight into who a student is as a person. D．However, college applicants usually encounter potentials in the essay. E．Students can also write about what illustrates an aspect of their background. F．So students need to outline their essay before jumping into the actual writing. G．There are usually several essay topics to choose from for a college application. 【答案】36．B 37．G 38．E 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了高中学生申请大学时写好申请书的几点建议。 36．根据上文“And it is a student’s chance to really speak directly to the admissions office, to make a good impression and to boost their chances of being accepted.(这是一个学生真正直接与招生办公室交谈的机会，给人留下好印象，提高他们被录取的机会)”以及根据下文“This can feel like a lot of pressure.(这会给你带来很大的压力)”可知，选项与上文为转折关关系，说明写申请遇到的困难。故B选项“但他们只有几百个字来实现这一目标”切题。故选B项。 37．根据下文“They tend to be broad, open-ended questions, giving students the freedom to write about a wide range of topics. (它们往往是宽泛的、开放式的问题，让学生可以自由地写各种各样的话题)”可知，选项承接下文说明论文主题的多样性。故G选项“大学申请通常有几个论文主题可供选择”切题，They指代的事topics。故选G项。 38．根据上文“Students should narrow their focus and write about a specific experience or hobby that reveals something personal, like how they think, what they value or what their strengths are.(学生们应该缩小范围，写一些具体的经历或爱好，从而展现一些个人的东西，比如他们的思维、价值观或者他们的优点)”可知，前文提到了写申请时要聚焦在哪些方面。故E选项“学生也可以写一些反映他们背景的方面。”切题，与上文是并列关系。故选E项。 39．根据上文“What’s most important is that a college essay is thoughtful.(最重要的是大学论文要深思熟虑)”可知，选项承接上文具体说明要写什么。故C选项“它讲述一个让我们了解到学生是一个什么样的人的故事”切题。故选C项。 40．根据上文“But you should avoid hyperbole (夸张), which can lose the readers’trust.( 但你应该避免夸张，否则会失去读者的信任)”可知，选项与上文为并列关系继续说明应该避免的内容。故A选项“避免使用不相关的副词和形容词也是明智的。”切题。故选A项。 Passage 9 Research shows making art or even viewing the work of other people reduces levels of the stress. What the arts do is they can relax you and put you in a good mood. This can create a welcoming atmosphere for connections.   41 Be curious about your inner world. It’s easier to connect with people if you have shared interests or experiences, so start paying attention to what’s on your mind.   42 If you know what’s meaningful or fun for you, it may lead you to an activity or creative outlet that connects you to people who share your interests. 43 When you say make something, you may immediately say, “Well, I’m not Picasso.

Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every effort. 6 Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others. Make time for each other 7 The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. 8 If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. 9 It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. However, it’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’ re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, admit it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of blaming it on someone else. 10 Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A．Be dependable and reliable. B．Be a good listener. C．When you do so, you should mean it. D．A good friend is willing to do anything for their friends. E．It will contribute to direct communication between both of you. F．Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together. G．Because good friendships provide a sense of belonging and security, knowing you are loved. 【答案】6．G 7．F 8．E 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了成为好朋友的一些建议。 6．前文“Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every effort.(然而，花时间发展持久的友谊是值得的。)”讲述了花时间发展持久的友谊是值得的，空处应解释原因，G项“因为好的友谊提供了一种归属感和安全感，知道你被爱着。”符合题意。故选G。 7．根据本段小标题“Make time for each other (为彼此留出时间)”和空后的“The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority.(一个好朋友的标志是，他会为你腾出时间，把和你在一起的时间放在首位。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要为好朋友留出时间，F项“友谊是通过共同经历和共度美好时光而发展起来的。”符合本段主旨。故选F。 8．根据上文“A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. (好朋友会让你在他们面前变得脆弱，反之亦然，这意味着你们可以互相暴露自己的情绪和状况，互相信任，倾听、支持、把彼此的最大利益放在心上。)”可知，在好朋友面前暴露脆弱意味着可以互相倾诉、信任，空处应讲述这样做的好处，E项“这将有助于你们之间的直接沟通。”符合题意。故选E。 9．空处是本段小标题。根据下文“However, it’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. (然而，很难依赖一个行为不值得信赖的人。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要成为值得好朋友依赖的人，A项“要可靠。”符合题意。故选A。 10．前文“If you know you’ve made a mistake, admit it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of blaming it on someone else. (如果你知道自己犯了错误，就承认错误，而不是否认。虽然你的朋友因为你犯了错误而不高兴，但他们会很高兴你已经足够成熟，能够承认错误，而不是责怪别人。)”讲述了要向朋友承认自己犯的错误，后文“Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. (让你的朋友听到你声音中的真诚。)”讲述了道歉时要诚恳，由此可知，空处应讲述承认错误时要态度认真，C项“当你这样做的时候，你应该是认真的。”符合题意。故选C。 $
