B)阅读短文,从短文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Once in a while it's helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don't see the room for improvement. And since great friendships are priceless, you should always surround yourself with the kind of people who will lift your spirits, make you laugh, and remind you that you are loved. Here are characteristics that strong friendships share.

Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you don't need to act like someone you're not. Your friends know your shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the “best version” of yourself when you're with your friends.
A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty. True friends won't pretend(假装) just to avoid an argument(争论). As a result you'll know where you stand with your friends and won't be afraid to share your true opinions.
They argue in a healthy way.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let's face it: everyone fights. In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that's okay.
Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else too.
That's why great friends will improve your relationship yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them. A healthy friendship means that sometimes the two of you spend time apart, and that's okay.
