1 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

“Friend is better than fortune. Friend is     1     (bad) than poison in some cases.” The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable, but they can       2     (explain) as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good     3     the second refers to all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.

My ideal friend is of course a good friend     4     goodness is shown below: he studies hard so as not     5     (waste) his golden time. At school he     6     (respect) his teachers and shares feelings with his classmates; on     7     other hand at home he honors his parents and loves his brothers. He treats     8     (true) to those who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him    9     a role model. With his help I am free from all difficulties.

Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the words “failure” and “    10     (lose)”.

3 . “We said no to the invitation to the birthday party because my child says they're not even friends.”

When I read the above words, I felt heartache.

I know birthday parties can be like a trouble, but let's believe the parents who sent that invitation weren't trying to get more gifts for their kids or make things more complicated(复杂的) .

For some kids, managing school and friends is easy. Maybe you have a child who's outgoing, self­confident or maybe you have a child who doesn't have any problems. However, for some kids, school and friends can be very difficult.

A birthday party is a fun, exciting and good opportunity. It is a chance for the kid on the sidelines to play with other kids who don't play with him/her at school or who don't call him/her a friend.

Sometimes even when the birthday party and the theme have been decided on and the difficult decision about whom to invite has been made, there can still be doubts. Those invitations can stay untouched in the bottom of the child's backpack for days, because he/she is too scared to hand them out.

I don't know your child, and I don't know you. I do know there are parents who lie awake at night wondering if their child will have the courage to hand out the invitations in the morning; I do know there are parents who hope they can depend on other parents to teach their children to be kind enough to show up. Maybe you'll never have to be one of the parents who find it hard. I know what that's like, because I have children who find it easy. But I also have a child who doesn't. And because of that, we've become a family that says yes to every invitation we receive.

Sometimes a birthday party invitation is not just a birthday party invitation; it's also an invitation to be a friend.
