Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? ____4.____ You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. ____5.____.

Healthy Relationship Tips
Healthy relationships are effortless, if both the people involved take equal effort to maintain it．Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life．
1.
Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person． Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily． This is the first mistake that couples make． One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener． Their roles remain so forever． The talker forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting． If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions． So hear them out and give proper reactions．You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out．
2.
Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples． Understand that not every statement needs a reaction． Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner． Just agree with whatever ii is and there will be no harm done． Try and reach a mutual（相互的） agreement． If that's not possible leave the topic for later． If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally． '
3.
Every single day is a blessing． Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances （细微差别） of your relationships． Each one of us keeps changing every day, the circumstances around us change every day and with that our attitude also needs to change． The same applies when you are living with a person． Learning every day and taking every day as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips．
4.
This tip is especially meant for couples with children on how to maintain healthy relationships After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost． To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner． This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times．
5.
Respect has to be earned． It can only be earned only if you learn to respect． Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows． Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake, Learn to respect each other-and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship．
Creating a healthy relationship takes equal effort from both sides． Sharing, caring, being apologetic, forgiving and having realistic expectations are some of the important ingredients to the recipe of a healthy relationship．
Producing money requires both artistic and technological skills． Dollar bills are made so that they are interesting to look at but very hard to copy． In total, there are sixty-five separate steps required to make a dollar bill．
The money making process begins when． a yearly order is sent by the Federal Reserve Board． That order will then be divided in half． Half will be done here in Washington, D． C．and the other half will be done in Fort Worth, Texas． Next, the Bureau orders special paper which is actually cloth since it is 75% cotton and 25% linen．
This paper is made so that it can last a long time． And, it is made with details that make it hard to copy． For example, bills contain security threads． These narrow pieces of plastic are inside the paper and run along the width of the bill． This special paper is also made with very small blue and red fibers．
Once the money is printed, guillotine cutters separate the sheets into two notes, then into individual notes． The notes are organized in "bricks," each of which contains forty one-hundred-note packages． The bricks then go to one of twelve Federal Reserve Districts, which then give the money to local banks． Ninety-five percent of the bills printed each year are used to replace money that is in circulation, or that has already been removed from circulation．
You may know that America's first president, George Washington, is pictured on the one- dollar bill． But do you know whose face is on the two, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred-dollar bills? They are, in order． President Thomas Jefferson, President Abraham Lincoln, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, President Andrew Jackson, President Ulysses Grant and statesman Benjamin Franklin．
The average life span of a one-dollar bill is twenty-one months． But a ten-dollar bill lasts only about eighteen months． The one hundred-dollar bill lasts the longest, eighty-nine months． One popular question is about the two-dollar bill． This bill is not printed very often． This is because many Americans believe two-dollar bills are lucky, so they keep them．
1.During money production, we must consider all EXCEPT that it must .
A．last a long time
B．be hard to copy
C．be interesting to look at
D．be done by the president's order
2.We can learn from the passage that the security threads .

B．are pressed outside the bills
C．are longer than the width of the bills
D．are actually made of cotton and linen
3.How many presidents are printed on the American money?
A． Four B． Five C． Six D． Seven
4.Why are the two-dollar bills not made often?
A．Because no one wants them．
B．Because their material is a bit more expensive．
C．Because they aren't used in America any more．
D．Because they aren't damaged quickly like other bills．
