26、害，但是我原谅了她，她后来也向我道歉了。由于这个插曲，我们都变得更好了。但是，如果当初我们终止了我们的友谊，那我们俩都会一无所得。总之，当我们年老时，回顾人生，我们会记得些什么呢？ 我们会记得我们买过的东西或去过的地方吗？不，我们会记得我们爱过的以及爱过我们的那些人。我们会记得我们的朋友。1(教材P18)Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship.男生和女生对友谊的态度是不一样的。attitude n态度，看法have/show/take a(n) . attitude to/towards .对持态度Almost an
