Make time for friendships.
Nothing makes closeness fade away(褪色) more than never talking to or seeing each other. If you cherish a person's friendship, make time for him or her, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it's just a phone call, e-mail or a weekly get-together.
Remember: a true friend doesn't flee when changes happen. Nothing is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for new parents than to find that their unmarried friends have left them because of the coming of baby. A good friend is one who stays true {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it all in life – marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, and so on.
Make sure you aren't being a burden to a friend.
Friendships will lose if there isn't a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} between the give and the take. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you –and don't overstep the mark.
Be a good listener.
It can be the hardest thing in the world to do – simply to listen as he or she {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it all out or is seeking your advice or opinion. To be a better listener, follow this advice:
Keep eye contact. Offer nods and murmurs to show that you understand his or her point of view. Don't finish your {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sentences. While your friend keeps on talking, you should gently {#blank#}7{#/blank#} yourself to focus.
Be in your friend's corner if he or she's not there to defend him or herself.
If you're at a gathering at {#blank#}8{#/blank#} someone says something bad about your friend, stop him or her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} . Say, "Mary is my friend, and it makes me feel bad to hear you talk this way." Sooner or later, news of your loyalty (忠诚) will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} back to your pal, and it will deepen your friendship.

    Chinese people are proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons think of Chinese food, their impressions (印象) of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} are different from what you might think.

    I grew up in the UK. The Chinese food I was used to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}was food from Guangdong. For example, a(n){#blank#}3{#/blank#} dish I would order would be sweet and sour pork (糖醋排骨). This is the type of food we generally eat {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lots of Chinese immigrants (移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong.

    Something is changing, though Chinese-American cook Ken Hom has been{#blank#}5{#/blank#}British TV for 30 years, and he said, “At the beginning of the 1980s, Chinese food was sweet and sour pork, mainly … Now you are seeing more Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other {#blank#}6{#/blank#}of China. It is no longer just Cantonese food.”

    What do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You'll be glad{#blank#}7{#/blank#} that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.

    My personal favorite is Yunnan food. And every foreigner I've eaten it with was{#blank#}8{#/blank#} by the different flavors (风味) when they try it.

    One of my friends{#blank#}9{#/blank#}in Yunnan for a year. She says she still hasn't had “proper Yunnan food” since then. That's the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}when you finally eat real Chinese food—you become picky (挑剔的)!

    You have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} visited Boston before. Your friends have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to the city. They say there are many interesting places in Boston. Some of them {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you about these interesting places in it. So you begin to know something {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Boston, but you don't know where these {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are or you don't know how to find {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. However, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} someone gives you a map of this city and shows you the main roads and buildings, you may say excitedly, "Oh, now I see. I can find many places with {#blank#}8{#/blank#} trouble at all."

    Maps are useful and could help you find your way in a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}city if you have never been to this city. When you want to go to a new place, you'd {#blank#}10{#/blank#}take a map with you.

    Ever since his new movie Guardians of the Galaxy(《银河护卫队》became a hot topic at the box office, Chris Pratt has become{#blank#}1{#/blank#}around the world. But do you know that the actor comes from a poor family? His road to fame has not been easy. After{#blank#}2{#/blank#}high school, Chris attended college. However, his time as a college student was short. He dropped out(辍学) one year later. Then, he made a living with different kinds of jobs, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a salesman and a restaurant waiter. For a short time, he was homeless and slept on the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
