communicate argue serious chance calm prefer respect why solve surprise
Last week, my friend Lily and I had a big 1. about our group project. She wanted to do a presentation (演示), but I 2. to make a video. We both got upset and stopped talking to each other.
The next day, I realized that our project was about to end soon, and we needed to 3. with each other. I decided to stay 4. and talk to her. I said, “Lily, I know we disagree, but let's try to find a way to solve the problem together.” Lily looked 5. but nodded. We sat down and 6. discussed our ideas. I explained what I thought about a video, and she shared 7. she liked a presentation better.
When we talked, I realized that both ideas had their strengths. I suggested (建议), “How about doing them together? We can make a video and then present it to the whole class.” Lily smiled and agreed.
Taking the 8. to communicate made a big difference. We finished the project on time, and even got an A! More importantly, our friendship became stronger because we learned to listen and 9. each other's opinions.
From this experience, I've learned that good communication is the key to 10. problems and building better relationships.

1. argument
2. preferred
3. communicate
4. calm
5. surprised
6. seriously
7. why
8. chance
9. respect
10. solving

1. 根据后文关于项目意见不一致，可知这里是说有个大“争论”，argue 的名词形式是 argument，“have a big argument”表示“有个大争论”，所以第 1 空填 argument。
2. “prefer to do sth.”表示“更喜欢做某事”，这里说她想演示，但我“更喜欢”制作视频，且文章是过去时，prefer 的过去式是 preferred，所以第 2 空填 preferred。
3. “communicate with sb.”是“和某人交流”，这里说项目快结束，我们需要互相交流，need to 后接动词原形，所以第 3 空填 communicate。
4. “stay calm”表示“保持冷静”，我决定保持冷静和她谈话，所以第 4 空填 calm。
5. 我说一起解决问题，Lily 看起来“惊讶”，surprise 的形容词形式是 surprised，用来形容人，所以第 5 空填 surprised。
6. 我们坐下“认真地”讨论我们的想法，serious 的副词形式是 seriously，修饰动词 discussed，所以第 6 空填 seriously。
7. 她分享“为什么”更喜欢演示，why 引导宾语从句，所以第 7 空填 why。
8. “take the chance”表示“抓住机会”，抓住交流的“机会”有很大不同，所以第 8 空填 chance。
9. 我们的友谊更牢固因为我们学会倾听和“尊重”彼此意见，and 连接并列成分，listen 是动词原形，respect 也用动词原形，所以第 9 空填 respect。
10. 好交流是“解决”问题和建立更好关系的关键，the key to doing sth.，solve 的动名词是 solving，所以第 10 空填 solving。
