名师点评

本文讲述了朋友在人一生中扮演着重要角色。和朋友一起谈天说地，一起做事，不仅使我们远离寂寞，增添生活情趣，而且也使我们的身心更加健康。

1.C。根据上文，friends are very important. 可以知道每个人都需要朋友, 故选needs。

2.A。这里应用it做形式主语，代替后面真正的主语，即to have a friend。

3.D。一方面我们需要和朋友在一起，另一方面我们也需要独处，根据句意，应该选certainly。

4.D。根据上一句we need to be alone，可以知道我们有时也不希望周围一直有人相伴，故选around。

5.B。根据句意，没有朋友的情况下会感到孤独。故选never。

6.C。根据句意，世界上没有两个人是相同的，故选just the same。

7.B。既然人与人之间总有不同之处，所以朋友有时也会有矛盾,故选sometimes。

8.D。根据上半句they will make up可以知道产生分歧的朋友也会和好如初。故选friends。

9.B。根据语境，朋友离开应是很难过的事情。故选sad。

10.A。根据常识，思念朋友时，我们可以通过打电话和写信来和朋友联络, 故选call。

11.C。make friends为固定结构，意思是“交朋友”。

12.A。根据上句中“good news”, 可以知道这里应该是长寿，又因为句中有than, 可以知道应填比较级，故选longer。

13.B。根据题意，心情好，有助于身体健康。这里用动名词短语充当主语，happy是形容词，前面应添上be动词，故选 being 。

14.B。根据题意，如果别人关心你，你就会加倍珍惜自己，故选better。

15.D。根据题意，这里表示“自己照顾自己“，故选yourself 。
