Friendships are very important during adolescence (青少年). Teen friendships help young people feel a sense of acceptance and belonging. They support the 【小题1】(develop) of compassion (同情), caring, and so on. Moreover, adolescent friendships can be useful in 【小题2】(help) teens to spend difficult times. We all know that having good friends makes us happier. Teenagers having good friendship have better mental health. Teens with more friends feel a 【小题3】(strong) sense of belonging, which is good for them 【小题4】(face) difficult situations. A study found that teenagers with strong teen friendships helped them reduce anxiety.

A study of 108 high school students in Australia found that friendships were 【小题5】(especial) helpful for teens immediately (立即) after a stressful event, such as failing 【小题6】 test. Researchers from Australia’s Murdoch and Griffith universities 【小题7】(survey) teens. They found when they were with peers rather than adults they dealt better after a stressful event. Teens who were with friends reported lower levels of sadness 【小题8】 worry. Such are the good points 【小题9】 friendships, so young people should 【小题10】(encourage) to make more friends.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly 【小题1】 (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 【小题2】 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 【小题3】 (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people   【小题4】 (feel) more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something   【小题5】 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an   【小题6】   (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 【小题7】 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 【小题8】(accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look   【小题9】the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see     things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 【小题10】(you) from that person’s point of view.

【小题1】is possible that we simply do not stay in one place for a true friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us【小题2】(think) carefully about the kind of friendships we want.

To most of us, friendships are considered【小题3】(importance), but need to have clear in our own minds【小题4】kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be close or【小题5】(keep) at arm’s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our【小题6】(friend)expectations. If one wants more from the friendship than the other, 【小题7】if this is not talked about, one is likely at last to fell that he’s holding the short end of the stick. The sharing of personal experience【小题8】(include) our tears as well as our dark dreams【小题9】 (be) the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there signs of interest and action【小题10】return.
