38、有真正的朋友会与你同甘共苦。他们在你经历困难时总是站在你身旁，绝不抓住你的过去不放，愿意为你付出。1F根据上文可知，泛泛之交与你有共同点，仅会短时间陪伴你；同甘不共苦的朋友会在情况良好时讨好你；根据空后一句可知，他们绝不会做如下的事情(即下文中的不与你同患难等)。据此可推知，空处表述的内容与上文陈述的泛泛之交和同甘不共苦的朋友的行为作对比，陈述真正的朋友的行为，故F项正确。2C通读该段可知，真正的朋友不会在你困难时离开；由空前一句可知，当你处于困难时期时，要看看周围的人；据此可推知，在困难时期仍然站在你身边的人才是你真正的朋友。C项与此处匹配。3D根据空后一句可知，相反，他们帮助你补救当前和未来；据此可知，空处应是陈述真正的朋友的行为，即真正的朋友从来不会抓住你不可改变的过去不放；故D项正确。4G根据该段前两句可知，真正的朋友绝不装作什么都知道；根据空后一句可知，真正的朋友是当你需要片刻时间思考时默默地坐在你身边的人。据此可推知，G项“然而，你将很快意识到他们不是试图解决你所有问题的人”符合语境，衔接上下文。5B根据文章结构和空处所在位置可知，空处为该段的主题句；根据上文每段第一句可知，该处应为祈使句；根据该段尾句可知，真正的朋友会想去付出。据此可知，该段主要陈述真正的朋友不是从你那里一味地索取，故B项正确。
