【解析】

试题分析：

1. no difficulty…telling”可知此处考查的是have on difficulty in doing sth（在某方面没有困难）．故答案为in．

2. earlier，the…”可知此处考查the+比较级，the+比较级（越…越…）．根据生活常识，越早越好．故需要good的比较级better．故答案为better．

3. happen，you can have more time to deal with them．”（…改变发生，你可以有更多的时间解决他们．）中change为主语，happen为谓语动词，you为主语，can为谓语动词．可知此句是从句，需要连接词．从句是一般现在时，主句是含有情态动词的句子．也就是主情从现，本句可以用if来表示假设，如果发生改变，你可以有更多时间解决它们．故答案为If．

4. can go around more often．”可知主语为you．根据后一句中keep…relaxed and active可知keep后是某人，意思为让某人放松和活跃．根据文章逻辑关系，此句中的人应于上一句保持一致，同为you，故答案为you．

5. you…to think twice when you choose a friend．”可知此空是谓语动词，根据句意“当你选择朋友时，你…考虑两次．”可知此处可以填“需要”或者“不得不”之意．其后接动词时都需要加to，when引导两个同时发生的动作，从句中choose为一般现在时，主句也应用一般现在时，故答案为have或need．

6. you get into trouble，ask others for…”中的get into trouble（陷入麻烦中）可知我们需要向其他人寻求帮助（help），故答案为help．

7. failure is not the…of the road．”中的主语为failure（失败），road为路，可知此处想要表达失败不是路的终点．the end of在…终点．故答案为end．

8. don’t have to live in our past，but…”可知我们不应该活在过去，其中but表示转折，可知我们要生活的更好．can后接动词原形，plan better，live better为并列成分，都应用原形，故答案为live．

考点：说明文．
