Emma was her best friend. She knew about Sabrina well and always comforted (安慰) her like an (2)________ (old) sister.

Emma shouted, “Why are you so angry (7)________ this? I really hope you can have a better talk with other people but not only your toys.” Sabrina didn’t listen to her, and replied, “I never have friends like you”. Emma was sad to hear that, and felt losing a good friend. But she still felt like (8)________ (help) Sabrina in overcoming (克服) her shortage. “You will understand my goodwill some day in future.”
Many years later they met in a same company at the time of interview. They said “Hello” to each other. What a miracle! They talked a lot about their own past like old friends. Emma said, “I apologize (道歉) for shouting at you that day. But I did care about you indeed.” “It was me to apologize for that day, my words really hurt you”, Sabrina replied. She was touched and held Emma’s hands (9)________ (tight). “It is so kind of you! I didn’t think you might forgive my bad words on you, but you do.” “I consider you as my best friend all the time”, Emma said. They now work in the same company and help each other in work. Their friendship is going fine all the way after many years. We can say, “Friendship is forever and (10)________ (power)!”
答案：1. seldom/never
解析：根據“everyone thought she was short-spoken”可知她“很少/從不”和別人說話，seldom“很少”，never“從不”，均符合語境。
2. elder/older
解析：“姐姐”可用elder sister或older sister，elder常表示有血緣關系的年長，older側重年齡大小。
3. left
解析：根據上下文可知父母“留下”很多玩具，用一般過去時，leave的過去式是left。
4. anything
解析：否定句中something需改為anything。
5. don’t talk
解析：if引導的條件狀語從句，遵循“主將從現”，主句“Nobody would like you”為過去將來時，此處從句可用一般現在時表將來，否定形式為don’t talk。
6. alone
解析：leave sb. alone“別管某人，讓某人獨自待著”，固定短語。
7. about
解析：be angry about sth.“因某事生氣”，固定搭配。
8. helping
解析：feel like doing sth.“想要做某事”，help的動名詞是helping。
9. tightly
解析：修飾動詞held需用副詞，tight的副詞形式是tightly。
10. powerful
解析：and連接兩個形容詞作表語，power的形容詞形式是powerful“有力量的”。
