Question

Life affects (影响) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.

When we were children we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we get older, memories fade (逐渐消失), faces blur (变得模糊不清), and even friends' names from childhood are forgotten.

Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can't control others. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.

You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible (难以置信的) joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting (痛苦) will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.Sometimes when they go it will hurt, but you will be okay with it.It's the way life works, after all.

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要阐述应该如何用正确淡定的态度面对友谊的改变。要面对事实，生活影响了友谊。只要我们活着，周围的事情就会有改变，只要事情有改变，友谊就会受到影响。

1.1】D推理判断题。根据文章第一段Life affects (影响) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.生活影响友谊。随着我们的成长、结婚、战争、全国移动或者改变工作，旧的友谊消失，而形成新的组合。只要我们活着，我们周围的事情就会改变，只要事情改变，友谊就会受到影响。从这里可知这是在开导人的思想，给人讲道理，所以最有可能来自心理书，故选D。

2.2】A从第一段第一句Life affects friendships生活影响友谊，可排除BC，选项AC是互为矛盾的两选项，那其中必有一正确答案，另一个则是错误的。从第二段 even friends' names from childhood are forgotten甚至童年朋友的名字被忘记，可排除D，故选A答案。

3.3】B词义猜测题。根据第四段they will tell you that life is full of incredible (难以置信的) joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting (痛苦) will be gone.他们将告诉你生活充满了难以置信的快乐和痛苦，今天干扰你们的在某一天将变成记忆，痛苦将随之而去。从这里可知一定是在问一个有经历的老年人，所以应该选B。
