Friends are important to everyone, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, some people may have trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (keep) their friendships. Here are some tips on how to make your friendship {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (deep) and stronger.

    ★Be yourself. A lot of teens try not to lose the friendship once they become friends with some people. Though your identity (身份) is always changing, some of your personality will stay pretty much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} same. Find out {#blank#}5{#/blank#} those things are, think hard about who you want to be, and then show yourself {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (honest) to the people around you.

    ★Avoid gossip (八卦). Friends shouldn't spread rumors (谣言) about other friends. If you've heard something bad about your friends, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) a proper way of asking them about it by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you). If you're not sure how to talk to them about it, ask a trusted friend for advice.

    ★Protect your friends. Very often, somebody that you're not close to doubts one of your {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (friend). It's important to find out both sides of the story, but it's also a good chance to show your friend that you trust him by telling him.

    ★Return the care. There are times when a friend will lend you a textbook, or a shoulder to cry on. A good friend will cheer you up when you're in trouble and listen patiently when your friend shares a problem {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you. Be sure you are as helpful as your friend, because he will take notice and feel good you.

    The London Eye is a tourist attraction (观光胜地) in London. There you can get into a capsule(太空舱) to enjoy a great view of the city of London.

    I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(visit) the London Eye last summer with a friend. My friend didn't know{#blank#}2{#/blank#}we were going. I just told him we would go{#blank#}3{#/blank#}very special. As we arrived at Waterloo Station, he had worked out where we were going. He smiled {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(happy). When we reached the London Eye, there{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a very long waiting line, so in order to save{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he stayed in the line while I went to buy the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    The capsule doesn't completely stop when people get on, so you have to get into it quickly. Then the door of the capsule shuts. The view was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wonder). We took many photos of the beautiful view. It{#blank#}9{#/blank#}about half an hour for the capsule to go around.

    If you are{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) in going there, I would like to give you some advice. To enjoy the view, go in the daytime. There are night rides, but you won't see a lot. Sometimes the top of the wheel can be quite cool even though it's sunny. So ladies, don't forget to take a scarf.
