While Dave was traveling to school on the bus, he remembered that he had forgotten to take his wallet with him    5    he didn’t have any money to buy lunch. Just after this, his friend Lucas got on the bus.

“Can I    6    some money, Lucas?” asked Dave.

“Sure, no problem,”     7     Lucas. “Here you go.”

Two boys did the English exam. While they were    8    lunch, Dave asked Lucas if he thought the exam had been difficult. Lucas smiled and picked up the slice (薄片) of chocolate cake     9    he was eating.

“It was so easy. It was a     10    of cake!” said Lucas, smiling.

3 . Setting boundaries (界限) with people, especially those you care about, can be difficult. You may feel guilty about doing so, but there’s no need to. You won’t be able to care for others if you can’t care for yourself.     1    

Offer alternatives (选择) to what they want.

You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day. Being a good friend doesn’t mean doing everything they want you to do. You have every right to decide what you feel comfortable with.     2     However, you can offer alternatives. You can say, “It’s OK to come over, but only one hour is available.”

Tell your friend you’ll help, but you expect help, too.

You may find that you are always asked for help but never receive any in return.     3     For example, if your friend always asks for a lift, you could say, “I don’t mind taking you places, but I’ll need some gas money if this is going to continue.”

    4    

Let them know you’ll be there for them with conditions. Some “friends” want to use up all you’ve got, but never offer anything in return.     5     These are “friends” you don’t need, and you’ll need to let them know now. Offer a warning about boundary violations to let your friend know when they occur. You might say, “Hey, you failed to keep an appointment as arranged and that wasn’t cool.”

A．Give a warning.

B．Do some helpful acts.

C．You don’t have to cut them off completely.

D．They may borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor.

E．Setting up boundaries gives you a chance to practice this self-care.

F．They may constantly borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor.

G．Let your friends know that you expect the same amount of help that you give.

9 . 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.

But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”

Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to say?” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it?”

I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.

That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”

Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”

I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

Finally I earned enough money and set out to buy Mary's mother a new vase.
