When (ask) to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines_ we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the _(good) friends you are, the more probable you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences_(bring) out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong - even if you have been wronged .Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best,the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the_(nature) ups and downs that have an effect__all relationships. My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).

The Amber Room (put) up in 1709. It used to belong Frederick William I, the first King of Prussia. Peter the Great fell in love with the room on a visit, and in 1716 the King of Prussia sent it to Peter the Great as a gift.
The Amber Room was shipped to Russia in 18 large boxes and put in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg as a part of a European art collection. It was first open in 1746 in the Winter Palace, it was housed till 1755. In 1755, Czarina Elizabeth ordered the room (move) to the Catherine Palace in Pushkin. An Italian (art) Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli redesigned the room to fit into its new larger space, (use) extra amber from Berlin.
seems hard to believe that boxes of several tons of amber could go missing, and many historians have tried to solve the mystery. Most of them believe the boxes were destroyed in the Second World War. One of the more extreme theories is that Stalin (actual) had a second Amber Room and the Germans stole a fake (赝品).
The history of the new Amber Room, at least, is known for sure. The reconstruction (重建), was based largely on black and white photographs of the original Amber Room, began in 1979 at Tsarskoye Selo and was completed 25 years later.

“Everyone knows it’s (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what (happen) next time.”
