11、grammatically correct. (A)When (25)_(ask) to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead (26)_ homes, jobs, clothes and cars. A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and (27)_(keep) us connected. It is a treasure

12、 we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the (28)_ (probable) youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont want an end to the relationship. The good news is (29)_ most troubled friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us ca

13、n forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, (30)_(apologize) when youre wrong - (31)_ _ youve been wronged.

Scientists say the re

Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, “Our study show for the first time that the way (36)_

18、 we deal with fear is different, depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart. The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr. Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the he

19、art is pumping (37)_ when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont see and guide whether we see fear.” (38)_ (understand) this relationship further, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feelin

20、g of fear. “So far we (39)_(find) an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear” Dr. Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develo
