Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 36 realize that those challenges to the very things than 37 us and make us who we are ,it is the same with the challenges that come with 38 .
When we are fared with a challenge, we usually have two 39 . we can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing 40 the challenge isn’t worth the 41 and call it quits. Although there are certainly 42 when calling it quits it the right thing to do, in most 43 all that is needed is 44 and communicable.
When we are communed to something, it means that no matter how 45 or how uncomfortable something is ,we will always choose to 46 it trough instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 47 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 48 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” 49 “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 50 they me: small hurdles you need to jump or 51 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 52 to get over, and hurt only 53 to make us stronger. It s all part of growing up, it 54 to everyone, and some day you will 55 all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it make me who I am today. And that a good thing.”

37. D shape意为“定形,使成形,塑造”。that引导定语从句,指代先行词the very things,表示正是把我们塑造，并使我们成了现在的样子的事。design意为“设计,计划,谋划,构思”；promote意为“促进,发扬,提升,提拔,晋升为”；direct意为“指引,指示,指挥,命令,导演”。

39. C choice意为“选择,抉择”。根据下文中的“We can try to beat it off,or we can decide that the thing demanding the challenge isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits.”可判断出当我们面对挑战时有两种选择。opportunity意为“机会,时机”；expectation意为“期待,预料,指望,展望”；aspect意为“样子,外表,面貌,(问题等的)方面”。

45. D painful意为“疼痛的,使痛苦的”。根据下文中的how uncomfortable可判断出当我们受到某事的约束时,这就意味着无论多么痛苦,多么不舒服,我们都要面对它,并把它解决,而不是躲避。doubtful意为“可疑的,不确的,疑心的”；shameful意为“不体面的”；harmful意为“有害的,伤害的”。
