Oxford professor Michael Argyle recently found that the key to happiness is having one close relationship and

47、 a network of friends. Maintaining long-lasting, healthy friendships is worth the effort! If there's a broken friendship you'd like to mend, try the following advice. Give your friend the benefit of the doubt. Matt, an American doctoral student, remembers two friendships broken by hurtful wo

49、o communicate with your friend. If you've been hurt, your instinct is probably to pull away and protect yourself. But if you do this, the friendship will likely die. “You need to reach out, says 20-year-old Jamie, “Friendships get broken when trust is lost. Both friends need to reach out and dem

50、onstrate they are trust worthy. Walk through the conflict together. Start by trying to see things from your friend's point of view. Talk about the problems openly but kindly. At first, Jessica didn't understand why Joyce stopped talking to her. Then Joyce explained that Jessica's teasing

51、 bothered her. Jessica meant nothing by her teasing and thought it shouldn't bother Joyce. But when she accepted that it was embarrassing to Joyce, she stopped. Then their friendship could heal. It's normal for friendships to change. Problems come when one friend tries to hang on while the o

52、ther friend lets go. If your friend isn't willing to work things out, accept it and move on. 1. Happiness has nothing to do with ones relationship with friends.BA.TB. F2. Trying to see things from your friend's point of view is conducive to healing a friendship.AA.TB. F 3. Jessicas friendshi

55、 tumble fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be tough to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days.
