Everyone wants to be a great best friend but doesn’t know how or where to start that perfect friendship. The following will help you.

Be your own best friend first. _36_ If you can’t respect yourself, then you can’t respect others. Understand what values are important to you and stick to them. Seek out others who honor those values because you’ll only end up hurting yourself and possibly others if those people don’t have the same values as you.

Trust each Other. _37_ All you have to do really is make sure you can both trust each other. Don’t try to trick or use your friend to your advantage; you need to make them know they can trust you.

Learn to listen. Nobody likes a best friend who just talks and talks, but never listens. If you’re a chatterbox, try to develop good listening skills. Whenever your best friend says something, listen carefully and say something. _38_ If they ask for advice, listen carefully arid give them the best advice you can.

Care for your best friend. If your best friend is upset, ask them what’s wrong. They might not tell you straight away, but they should in the end. _39_ Understand dial certain things are private, and trust that they’d be just as patient with you if you were in their shoes.

Let your friend have other friends, too. If your best friend picks another friend over you, try to be friend over you, try to be friend too. _40_ Everyone is always looking for new friends. But never leave the old one; your loyalty (忠诚) is what the other person expects and counts on every day.

A. Learn how to respect yourself.

B. Maybe you guys can be a group of friends! C. Don’t interrupt while they’re talking to you. D. Best friends are the most valuable friends you have. E. If they don’t tell you, don’t get angry at them. F. To be a great best friend really doesn’t take much.

G. Take time out of your day to appreciate the funny things in life. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

One day, Jim played basketball in the living room after school.

cracks were filled almost perfectly. _53_ remember, to restore a vase needs more powerful glue and higher _54_ skill. Tomorrow, let’s bring the vase to the _55_ to see how they’ll make it as it was.” With that, his mother took the third chocolate, “The _56_ chocolate stands for my deep apology (歉意) to you. As your mother，I shouldn’t have put a vase in a place where it could so _57_ fall down, especially when there is a boy fond of sports.”

“But, Mum, I ...” His mother _58_ him and said. “My chocolate box has been _59_, so our talk is over, too. Now, go to bed!” Then she left for her own bedroom. The following days were the same as before. The only _60_ was that Jim never told a lie since then.
